HP Printer Questions recommendations

#1 Post by festus »

My old printer just quit working, HP deskjet 3845, and I am wanting an all-in-one printer to replace it, but want to make sure that it will work on puppy linux; currently using LxPupTahr-14.12.1-pae with great satisfaction.

The printers that I am looking at are
HP Envy 5530, HP Officejet 2620 and perhaps HP Deskjet 1512.

The Envy 5530 has wireless, though I will not use that feature.
The Envy 5530 can use the USB connection and NOT the wireless, right?

I just want a reliable, dependable printer, with all capabilities working in puppy.

Any help and replies, or other suggestions, are appreciated.

Thank you, festus :)

Have you read "How to Install your Printer/Scanner in Puppy" at the top of this section? It has links to HP print/scan driver packages.

All three are supported by the latest HPLIP print/scan PETs.

Yes.

No one can guarantee that for you.

Thank you, for the reply, rcrsn51.

As with all things, I'll sleep on it, then make an informed decision between the 1st two mentioned.

Thanks, again
