What is the best Printer to use with the Linux system?
Better to get informed on which ones do not work, or only work with user effort.
Many Lexmarks do not work or ink is expensive -- but this may no longer be the case, as AnonaMoss notes. Some Canons require going to Asia or Europe sites for drivers. On the other hand HP usually works but it has recently been noted that conflicts between gutenprint and hplip drivers exist.
Some distros work out-of-the-box with more printers than others (notably mint, solus, peppermint3) compared to say straight debian or slackware. So, which distro is being used is a variable, as well.
No longer available ?!Why not just go with Samsung ML 1660 series, its the besto ne u can find for small amount of money
At the current state of Linux, that question is kind of like asking which printer is best to use with Windows.. I haven't run into a printer that hasn't worked correctly yet.. at work we have a couple network printers.. brother and HP (both work fine).. at home i've always had the hp printers.. lately the all-in-one type.
