HP is one of the major brands for the big office printer, copier, fax, collating, stapling and multi-tray office machine. There are others, but so far it seems that the driver for Ubuntu with HP CUPS has the most printer tray and paper/envelope sizes/styles of all of the other brands of printers I have tried on my system. I really think the key will be which brand and model of big office printer has the best driver, with the most options, for Linux. That is in the subject line after all. I have had [and have] some nice printers that currently have no proper Linux driver[s]. My HP 7000 wide format will print letter size [8.5 by 11 inches] but will not print the 11 by 17 inch paper, for which I bought it. I have to use my Win7 boot of my dual booting laptop to use that printer. Printer in the basement of the office building - well that is inconvenient to print and the go there to pick your prints up. All of the printers I use are left of my desktop [I am left handed] and less than 4 feet away. If I cannot reach them, I just roll the chair over to the printer. I have the HP laser printer and the Canon inkjet on the desk high shelf and the wide format printer on a shelf 2 feet over top of the laser printer. My laser printer is an HP laserjet 2300 dn - duplex and network. It has the bottom tray and the fold-out multipurpose tray. I use the bottom tray for the standard copy paper quality paper. I use the fold-out tray for the feeding of 1 to 10 sheets of colored paper, cover stock paper, envelopes, and other types of printing. When I look at the printer's available drivers [i.e. make and model driver list] I get 15 different ones to choose from. I use the one that is named HP Laserjet 2300 pcl3, hpcups 3.13.4. That one has the most options of all the ones I have tried, so far. NOTE: I finally got the HP Officejet 7000 wide format printer to work. I had to reserve its network IP address in the router table and define it. Then I had to install all of the packages for hplip that was in the Synaptic Package Manager that seemed was not installed, or reinstall the repository versions, if it looked like a non-repository version was installed. Something was missing, somewhere, but is finally prints the 11 by 17 inch paper, instead of just the 8.5 by 11 inch type. It was a pain to boot up a Windows partition on my laptop to print my posters and newsletters via a PDF file on a flash drive. I keep the following paper in the printers: HP Laser 2300dn --- bottom tray - generic/plain white paper --- fold-out tray - sometimes color paper or cover stock paper Canon MG6220 inkjet -- bottom tray - quality bright white inkjet paper -- back tray - photo paper -- printer also prints the labels on the DVD media HP Officejet 7000 - wide format -- bottom tray - 11 by 17 inch paper of either plain paper or cover stock paper -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

However, printing quality and colour rendering was not always up to par with the HP device compared to the Canon. Swings and roundabouts, I guess. Alex I found my Linux packages at the UK support site, since the USA site/division does not support Linux. The USA site supports both Windows and Mac OSX. For the quality issues you have . . . For my MG6220 printer [bought for printing labels directly on DVD media], The photo copying and photo printing was better than my Epson inkjet ever was. The printer uses Black, Photo Black, Gray, and the 3 colors for ink cartridges. The scanning of a color document/image was better than the other 2 printer/scanners I have/had. It does not have a FAX option, but I have a stand alone FAX option on a different printer so I did not spend the extra money. Actually the Linux driver was for the generic 6200 series, since the 6220 is a USA printer and the 6230 was the same printer but for the UK power and such. Linux has many of the Canon printers included in its printer database, but the new[er] MG6200 series was not and I had to install 2 .deb files for the printing and 2 for the Canon scanner package. The printer has the USB port, but uses wired and wireless network options. I do not use any USB only printers right now. By-the-way - Linux Mint 13 and 14 will not find that Canon printer on the network, even if I give it the network IP address. It will only work as a USB printer. I was testing out Mint/MATE [MATE being the default desktop] for a possible option over Ubuntu/MATE. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

My HP laser cost me $25 - $30 for non-OEM but $105 for HP's toner. My Canon set of 6 ink cost $35 for 2 full sets, but cost $80 for a full set of OEM-ink. My HP OJ 7000 printer - 3 full sets of color cost less than one HP black. 1 full set of color/black cost less than HP's Black let alone a full set of Black and Color OEM ink. When I buy a new [or used] printer, I first look at the cost of the ink or toner, both OEM and the non-OEM market. I really want to know the ink/toner costs before I buy so I can tell how much that printer will cost me. Then I compare printer models and their features with their ink/toner costs. At that point, I have all of the information on cost of printing up front. I cannot tell you how many good looking printers that would cost me $70+ for even non-OEM toner, or $200+ for the OEM toner. I do not have that kind of money to lay out for a toner replacement, no matter how great the printer is. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Many large offices have at least one large photocopier that often also does printing. It's usually so large that it has a lot of trays for different sizes of paper (or as back-up for when 1 tray gets emptied). Typically about chest high or just over waist high (depending how tall you are). Usually got a multi-feed thing on the top to plonk 50 pages in and leave it to feed them all though. Often with extra features such as collating and stapling bundles of pages (although the stapler usually breaks quite quickly).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: printers compatible with GnuLinux
Hi :) That looks right too. Don't worry about advocating for Cannon. If you find something works it doesn't seem bad to say so, especially on mailing lists where other people can chip in with their thoughts/recommendations. It's not like telephone support where no-one else can comment about your suggestions and the whole conflict of interests or dubious motives might be a factor. It was interesting to see the link didn't work but scrolling down got there. For some reason that give me more confidence than a website that is too perfect. If i can go back to my boss with 2 or 3 manufacturers and recommendations from the list it's good for me. Mieszko's might even help me fix our current Oki and Ricoh printers which would be a double-plus in my favour.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: printers compatible with GnuLinux
Hi :) Yes, that is exactly right. I'd forgotten the old name for them. Before they started being plugged into computer networks a few years ago they were called copying machines. They generally cost a lot less to run than smaller printers that sit on the desktop. The toner-costs/page are a lot lower and they are usually a lot faster and less noisy (at least when they are new and if they are working properly). There are colour ones around now but offices still often get the bw ones for the extremely low cost. At my place we have an excessively high quality colour printer separately but it really should only be used for flyers, posters and other marketing materials. Our old copier is such a pain to use that everyone has started using the colour one for trivial things and the toner for that costs an arm and a leg Regards from Tom :) From: Doug dmcgarr...@optonline.net To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Friday, 7 June 2013, 17:01 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: printers compatible with GnuLinux On 06/07/2013 08:33 AM, Luuk wrote: On 07-06-2013 14:27, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Thanks :) Cannon have a reasonably good reputation but Hewlett Packard have much better but all that seems to be for small printers that are meant to be run for 1 or maybe 2 desktops.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: printers compatible with GnuLinux
Hi :) Actually just being able to print to A4 would be plenty. It would be a huge bonus to the current state-of-play and is about the main way we would use the printer anyway. It's very rare for us to need the other trays and sizes. Generally for that there would be someone standing by the machine coaxing it to work. Also we have no idea how to use the stapling function from the desktop machines or even while standing at the machine (hence why the staple function breaks quite quickly every time it's ever been fixed). So a new machine wouldn't need to do any more than the basics.
