I must admit that my experience couldn't be any different. I've got a large number of HP printers both at work and at home, most of them MFP (multi function printers) and beyond the blood-like ink prices, HP's Linux support is top notch - no matter what distribution is being used. (We have Fedora, Ubuntu, SUSE and Slackware). Beyond the obvious (cups, x/sane), HPLIP toolbox more or less mirror's the HP Window toolbox minus the all the bloatware and in most cases the printer simply works out of the box. FWIW I've I currently have / use 4 different HP printers: - LaserJet 1212MFP (Works just fine as a printer and scanner, fax firmware is problematic). - OfficeJet 6700 (Two days old. No comments thus far). - OfficeJet 5784 (4.5 [!] years old, Amazing [!!!!] printer. being replaced by 6700 due ink prices). - OfficeJet 4580 (3 years old, Good printer, slowish scanner, problematic auto-feeder). Hope it helps, - Gilboa _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
