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.
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 have a wireless Brother laser all-in-one that I use on a daily basis
and has been working since 2014 on Fedora. You just download a tarfile
from their support page and run it to set the thing up. Both scanner
and printer work.
