Thread: Require all in one laser printer scanner.

I am using linux ubuntu and linux-mint brimful example, notwithstanding acquire been using a machine via a windows tool.I'd suchlike to enter an all in one printer/scanner to my unix box. I soul a come of documents that I would similar to interpret and book digitally. So an all in one laser with an effortless to unite scanner and house printing would be beneficent.Any suggestions greatly understood.

Grouping say HP printers individual unspoilt linux drivers, but you requisite to tidy careful for the fact posture that you opt.

Desist Canon. Linux living sux.I focus vantage things nigh HP and Epson.

I have a HP 1500 that scans and prints compartment low linux. Withal, I haven't initiate a clean OCR info in linux that can duplication that in HP windows. OCR is sincere problem in unix - all the programs I've reliable are riddled with errors spell the Windows equal gives most 99% truth.

Have you tried Tesseract? I've had quite well results with it. Maybe not 99% but sure advantageous sufficiency for needs.

Have you seen Lexmark and/or Kyocera products? Both of these manufactures acquire greatly improved their Linux living. My older Lexmark and Kyocera laser printers operate pulverised in Linux.If you mean to buy a new machine, then try before you buy. Any unobjectionable vendor will afford you to link their display/demo printers to your laptop or netbook - this testament rapidly show if the claimed Linux validation actually entirety.BTW. As has been already said, refrain Canon!

I can't take a representation but i can vouch for HP on linux. I retributory bought a HP inkjet with scanning, etc. It wasn't based out of the box on ubuntu because it's a relatively new pattern and i'm on 10.04 but i meet downloaded the fashionable edition of hplip and it all worked good. Hplip regularize heard and separate the old type.It's a wirelessly networked printer and hplip detects it pulverized on the material and installs it dead. It serves both windows and ubuntu machines without a worry.

I have a HP Officejet 8500 three-in-one (variety ink jet tho', not laser). Worked out of the box with unix (at least via ethernet conductor, shelter't reliable wireless).I'd certainly care at HP again if buying a new machine for linux (also for Macs).
