Printer/scanner

Mr. Brightside · 22 Sep 2010 at 11:06

I'm going to get a combi printer/scanner from OcUK at some point over the next week or so. I'll be using it with Ubuntu 10.04 (soon 10.10).

What printer/scanners have you found to work best with Linux?

Cheers,
Mr. Brightside

Thanks for the replies.

I think I'll probably get the HP Deskjet F2480. It has the nice properties of a) being the cheapest printer and scanner OcUK do and b) having the most evidence suggesting it will work nicely in terms of software.

Paying for a piece of software - especially on an open source system - in order to use a printer seems a bit horrific, but good to know of nonetheless.
