Finding Linux Compatible Printers 2019
- LarryDarrell 8y agoTrying to get my HP LaserJet 1020 hooked up to Debian 9.8 yesterday made me think about retiring and moving to a small college town and opening up a pizza place.
- kgwxd 8y agoWhy are printers still even aware of the OS a printer job comes from? Why aren't they all just a standardized service on a network? I assume there's a reason other than "just because printer companies don't want to do that."
- Arnt 8y agoSuch printers do exist, have existed for thirty years, they're called "network printers" and they've always been simple to get to work with Linux. Lexmark, HP and Brother make fine printers in this class. However, the printer most of you buy is a cheaper thing with a USB plug, a GDI driver and flimsy movable parts.
