Dear all,

My old Brother MFC- 9330 CDW is nearing its end of lifeĀ  and I'll have to replace it.

Not all printers are correctly supported by openindiana. Which (unexpensive: it is for home use) color laser printer/scanner/copierĀ  for openindiana would you recommend ?

Thanks and best regards

Marc

Hi!

I would generally say that any modern printer is capable of Postscript,
so any should do the job, if you setup your driver (with cups?) to use postscript.

I have a HP MFP 281fdw.

This i have in CUPS:

Description:    HPLIP
Location:       
Driver: HP ColorLaserJet MFP M278-M281 Postscript (recommended) (color, 2-sided printing)


(.. but you could use a postcript drive for an apple color laserwriter, too. Maybe you can't use some features, but you will be able to print..)

For scanning i currently use "simplescan" on a linux vm..

We have xsane package on OI, but it seems currently broken because of the gimp update to version 3:

$ xsane
ld.so.1: xsane: fatal: libgimp-2.0.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory ld.so.1: xsane: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/bin/xsane: symbol gimp_main: referenced symbol not found

Regards,

Stephan
