Hi Just to let you know about a printer
Purchased an HP laserjet M1005, this works quite well on Linux, does need the installation of a proprietory hplip opensource driver but absolutely no issues so far Sane / Xsane also picks up the scanner and works well too. We dumped the HP M1136 simply because it looked flimsy. While also did not invest in Samsung because a lot of people felt that samsung did not have the same extent of repair coverage of HP and that parts were not just harder to come by but a bit more expensive So far am happy with the HP laserjet 1005 M, does not have an ADF but nonetheless and good silent machine thanks for inputs ram On 9 August 2015 at 18:24, Ramnarayan.K <ramnaraya...@gmail.com> wrote: > HI James > > Thanks > > I have been using hplip - for all the HP devices , so far.
