Re: [Hampshire] Linux printer recommendations.
I hate all printers - they are the only piece of technology that has not gotten significantly better in 5 years - however I recently HAD to buy a printer and was shocked at how easy the Kodak ESP 7250 was to get workign in linux - it literally was 30 seconds - I was gobsmacked. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
Re: [Hampshire] Linux printer recommendations.
I have an oldish Samsung bw laser, but it was trivial to make work in linux.

Thanks Freaky. They tried to sell me one of those in Comet but after Kodak took too long to take digital photography seriously I have kept away from their digital products. I am interested to hear your experience of this printer. The printer is mainly for my wife to use from 'Win 7' and a friend of hers recommended an Epson SX425W so I bought one. I had trouble at first getting it to work from Ubuntu 10.04 as the correct driver was not listed in the Printer Setup. However after I downloaded one from [1] it now works. It is too early to say how well as this was late last night. [1] http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/ I expect Lisi could use this without the /eng/ part?

[Hampshire] Linux printer recommendations.
My HP Photosmart 3300 All-in-One series has given up with Ink system failure warning error code oxc18a0401. I have searched for this but none of the solutions have worked. The printer is quite old so it is time for a new one. My requirement is for wireless, Photocopying, reasonable Photo printing and running costs. When I look at the manufacturers compatible with Linux each seems to make hundreds so recommendations would be greatly welcomed. Thanks in advance, Clive -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
Re: [Hampshire] Linux printer recommendations.
I'm rather pleased with my HP Deskjet 1050 (all-in-one) - very cheap IMHO. It replaced a very much dearer printer (and separate scanner) and worked out of the box with Ubuntu 11.10. Write off-list if you need more info.

I ask because I am of the belief that a decent photo printer will be very expensive to run, so if you do it rarely you would be better off printing at a shop and get a cheap laser. I have a HP laserjet MFP 1120n. Doesn't have wifi. I'm sure there's an option that does. It was cheap and I'm very happy with it.

Cheers, Andy Many thanks for your prompt reply Andy. To answer your question, I really only print a few and the more important ones I get printed at a shop. I like to get some idea what they are going to look like on paper so colour rendering should be reasonable.
