Well, not completely OT because I do need one that will work on
Fedora.
I have found a number of ink jet all-in-ones that work well on
Fedora, from Epson, HP, and Brother. The problem is that I don't use
the printer all that much, and every single one of them eventually
(after I've had it for a few months) develops a head clog that is so
bad that not even the printer's cleaning cycle can fix it. I have
tried some of the cleaning kits with not much success (I'm a lousy
handyman), and even if I could get the cleaning kits to work, I'd
rather find a printer where I can avoid this headache.
I gave up on ink jet printers because of this.
So, is there any such thing as an all-in-one ink jet printer that
does not suffer from this problem if it is not used regularly?
Question #2 is, are any of the all-in-one laser printers any good and
work (all functions) with Fedora Linux?
I currently have an HP Color LaserJet MFP M477fdw. It prints great
from Fedora, CentOS, Mac OS, iOS, MS Windows, and Android. I usually
scan to e-mail or USB disk. I can also scan over the network from
Fedora 34 with xsane and airscan.
