![]() ![]() My printer has Linux support and is now is usable with 2 Linux distros, Windows 7, and Windows 10 via a manual printer switch.

One other feature I’ve found with newer HP printers is that you can ignore the install software and go online and download the driver-only package to avoid the various “utilities’ nagware and online “resources”. I have found if you buy a popular HP laser printer, cartridges tend to be available longer. ![]() I turn off the answering machine and let all calls go to FAX and the number drops way down for 3-4 weeks (yes I still have a landline.) Genuine HP cartridges are still available locally (expensive) or online (cheaper) plus it has a smaller footprint than any of the Laser (color or B&W) printers/flatbed scanners I’ve looked at. Faxes still work also but, as faxing is no longer common, I use the FAX to deter robocalls on the land line. It is old and still works for B&W printing (98%+ of my printing is B&W) and sheet scanning. In my case that is print and scan (faxes are rare now). For me, it is all about whether the printer is till doing what I need it to do.
