I suspect that any printer with airprint and Ethernet will just work at this point. I've yet to see an Ethernet printer that required a special app to set it up. A lot of multifunction machines will even support scanning to a network share. I would only work about compatibility for printers that need a USB connection, or large format printers that need special RIP software.
- formerly_proven 6y agoNetwork printers are less problematic on Windows, too.
- 10000truths 6y agoI thought that the USB spec already has a specific device class for printers? As long as the Linux kernel's USB subsystem has a driver that handles printer classes (which I'm pretty sure it would), then why should there be any compatibility issues with USB based printers?
- garaetjjte 6y agoYou still need driver to convert document data to something that printer happens to understand.
