Cluttermagnet Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I always liked that HP printers were well supported under Linux- and it has influenced my printer purchases over the years. For some reason a lot of advice ran "get an HP printer for Linux, you will have less hassles getting it to run" Happy birthday indeed, CUPS... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
