Hey everyone, We just moved and unfortunately the printer I had got destroyed. So I'm in the market for a wireless colour fax/printer that will play nicely with linux. Can anyone recommend something that will cost no more than $300? Thanks! Randy

What about the following? http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=34_1170_455&item_id=060242 It is more a traditional laser rather than the inkjets that tend to dry out quickly. Terry On Fri, Apr 29, 2016 at 2:54 PM, Randy Jonasz <rjonasz@rjonasz.ca> wrote:

That looks nice: can I assume it's well-known enough that my Fedora-based laptop will find it in CUPS? I suppose I could take in my machine and try searching in the CUPS gui for anything that looks interesting (;-)) --dave On 29/04/16 04:18 PM, Randy Jonasz wrote:

I can't seem to find it being sold any more, but I'm really happy with my OKI C110 which I have hooked up via USB to my router which is running OpenWRT and can route print jobs with p910nd. It means I can print with anything that can use the standard printer driver (linux and Windows) and I just have to point it to the TCP address. It also means it's a lot cheaper because the printer only has a USB port (It's a $99 colour laser printer). I've also used the Brother DCP-7065DN (which has a wired ethernet interface) and that works well with Linux. It doesn't do colour, but it has a page scanner with a sheet feeder. I was able to use the SimpleScan program in linux over a network to scan (even with the sheet feeder!). Brother provides linux driver binaries. Staples seems to have it now for $179.

I have one of these. I think that I paid about $100 many years ago. It's a reasonable printer but I'll list the things I don't like. - it requires binary drivers. This is a bit scary -- what happens when Brother stops support. But, as I said, I've had it for years and Brother has maintained support. - a network printer with binary drivers is even worse. Each machine that will use the printer directly needs the proprietary drivers installed. - the toner cartridges have small capacity so you need to buy new ones frequently. (Third party ones are available.) I'd pay more for a printer that didn't require binary drivers. A nice touch: although the flatbed scanner cannot handle legal size documents, the sheet-fed scanner can.
