Re: [PLUG] Cheap printer for Raspberry Pi idea

Thanks Tyrell for that valuable link. I will also take a closer look at HPLIP with regard to some other printers here. I ordered an HP Deskjet 1112 from Amazon for this application. It claims to have full support for Linux Debian (RPi?) and Mint via USB. For $29 it's worth a try. :-$. If it

Re: [PLUG] Cheap printer for Raspberry Pi idea

It's been a while since I plugged in my HP printer... I have one of the OfficeJet Pro L7680, stopped using it because I don't print frequently and so Laser printers are better suited to my needs... But when I was researching the purchase, I referenced HPLIP, the HP Linux Imaging and Printing

[PLUG] Century Link sales at the door

The young lady said that fiber to the home is SO much better--reliable, etc. I asked about the download speed. 40. Up? 20. Cost? I think it was just under $100. (Phone and internet; no TV). How do they expect to compete with Comcast if their intro stuff is more expensive? Certainly not on

You could still do this "rummage in the bins for " in surplus gizmos in Hillsboro Just a RIP thought: I had an interesting experience while visiting local CenturyLink store a few weeks ago - there are so many people without basic networking and computer knowledge - not even a clue. In the past
