Any major distro has hplip in the repos. Go HP. It always works. Anything else is a gamble whether you'll have drivers or an expensive paper weight. On Sat, Jun 27, 2015 at 1:20 PM, Clive DaSilva <cdasilva@iprimus.ca> wrote:
We use HP printers at our place ( Deskjet 3050a J11 series, HP Photosmart c 4700 series , HP Deskjet 5700) and they co-operate well on our network of three Linux boxes (2 Fedora 21 and one Linuxmint17) ant three Windows 7 computers. HP does a great job on Linux support.

I have a Brother printer/scanner too ( MFC-J6510 ). I'll admit it works well, when the drivers are installed properly.
As a footnote to all this philadelphia, Brother printers can be a bit of a pain for non-x86 systems. The scanners on their MFCs are essentially paperweights on anything but Intel.
