I’d like a printer with FOSS firmware/drivers that will reliably work over wifi.
I’d like a printer that I can used just once or twice a year without the ink drying up, when I really have to print something.
I'd also like one that doesn’t leak any toxic gasses. I’ve always been put off home lasers because of worrying about that. Is that a real problem or am I misinformed?
- fock 8y agoRaspberry Pi + Needle-Printer of vintage provenance? (might consume too much power and the parallel port might bug sometimes though) And it's not gases, but dust, but yeah (and inkjet's probably also have their problems with ink-fog)...
- zepearl 8y agoConcerning the first 2 points I've always been very happy with the Kyocera FS-C5150DN that I bought maaany years ago. It's best if you check beforehand on their download page the availability of drivers for your OS and device (e.g. PPD for Linux & CUPS for mine is listed here: https://www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.ch/de/index/service_support/download_center.false._.FSC5150DN._.DE.html https://www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.ch/de/index/service_sup... ). Mine is connected over LAN. I print very rarely and so far it always worked fine (I'm still using the provided cartriges - I guess that so far I printed with them ~400 pages, usually duplex). I didn't worry much about the gases because I use the printer too rarely.
