-copy without PC
-refill friendly, refill ink is dirt cheap
-hp CUPS drivers are quite good

While hp printer ink is expensive, at least their inkjets can be refilled.

Gets the job done I guess.
Mostly for the copying documents.

I noticed that on linux with hplip, the printing process is slower compared to windows, and had to go through several hassles to get the scanner to work.

Even today you need to present your CV in printed form.

Brother DCP-J140W

- Chipless cartridges, you can buy refillable ones for less than 15$
- Piezo inkjet so you can use any ink you want, unlike HP's bubblejets that need special bubblejet ink even if you refill them.
- Wireless, you can put it anywhere in the house and it connect to a router (has a USB input if you need it)
- Also a scanner, does mono and color copies
- Native Linux support via SH script or separately downloadable .DEB packages.

Brother won me over with this one and i would not use any other brand. I think the J132w is the more recent model as i've seen it sold in stores a few months ago.

>- Native Linux support via SH script or separately downloadable .DEB packages.
Hold on.

So you can't just go to pic related and find it under "network printers"? I thought it was standard behaviour for all brands. On HP it works like that.

>>59126655
Hp laser P1006

>>59128589

I've never tried, since the script does the whole setup by downloading and installing the .debs, asks you for an IP and then puts it in the list as a printer and scanner. I'm guessing you can add it manually from there too, but it will still require a driver to be installed, if the one for that model hasn't been packaged with the distro. I think that's what the separate DEB versions on the website are for.

On the HP printer i had it would work as soon as you plug it in, but it would require installing HPLIP if you needed to access all the options. That one wasn't wireless though.

>>59128464
That's gold.
How much does it cost?
Thought the paper tray is annoying?

Fuji Xerox Docuprint P225
Based as fuck laser printer.

Too bad it doesn't have Linux support, but it's something I can live with.

>>59128789

I got mine for 21$ used and without cartridges. New they were sold for around 70-85$, same for the newer J132W. As for the paper tray - i guess? It feels kinda cheap-plasticy, but you just take it out, put paper in and forget it. Feels the same as most low-end laser printer trays.

>>59128988
So it makes printing the duplex difficult?

>>59129076

It does mean you have to take the tray out and put the flipped pages in, yeah. It's like that with all printers that are not top-loaders and don't have a duplex printing feature.

>>59129162
HP paper loading allow for easy page flipping.
Though I don't know if they realize this or not.

>>59128819
>Xerox Docuprint P225
>Too bad it doesn't have Linux support

If you're using linux, surely you can convert a driver to work in linux, reading online for that printer you just have to change a few lines of code to match linux file system conventions.

brother hl-2230

it supports duplex printing and is compatible with 3rd party toner refills that cost $2 a bottle. My complaint is that the duplex rubber roller gets worn out easily which will cause paper feed jams - you'll need it once in a while

>>59128277
>What's wrong with printing in 2017?
>Even today you need to present your CV in printed form.

No you don't.

>>59129272
huh?
where did you read that?

>>59129266

Yeah, i don't see having to take the tray out as a big inconvenience, but putting the paper ontop is indeed more handy. Of course, best is to have proper duplex where it takes the paper back in, flips it and prints the other side all by itself, but those are much more expensive.

>>59129371
>https://thebigbyte.blogspot.com/2013/07/linux-printer-drivers-fuji-xerox.html

>>59129325
Does it do duplex automatically or do you have to put it back in the tray.

>>59126655
well, looks like im the only person here with an epson

i can email it, and it prints stuff. its pretty cool.

This thing is great, prints very well and came with a year of that HP Instant Ink for free, going to be printing shit loads of photos and such

>>59128210
Can confirm. Got an old HP 4250 from work. Love it. It's gonna be by my side till I die. I can pretty much service any HP workgroup sized laserjet and parts still exist so it's perfect.

Ideally you don't own one. How often do you need to print something anyways? Do it at your work or uni. If you need go to a print shop and pay the 4 cents per page or so. I swear it'll save you 10x the costs and 100x the mental strain of owning a piece of plastic that has deliberately been made worse for over two decades.

>>59128210
this is actually a decent one, we have one at work.

>>59129777
>If you need go to a print shop and pay the 4 cents per page or so
Depends on where you live
The next print shop is 15 miles from here and they charge 10 cents per page

So our home printer fucking died, I don't know if it was the ink went bad, I don't know if something else did, but it was out of use for 2 years for reasons.

do laser printers have issues with long time inuse?

also, anyone have experience with tank ink printers? I have a use for color, however the cost of ink makes me not want to do anything with it.

Best all in one printers with good scanners?

>>59131976
>do laser printers have issues with long time inuse?
No plus they're faster, cheaper per page, and produce better quality printing for everything that isn't graphically intensive.

>>59129538
I have that, but I've never printed with it. I bought it solely for a cheap scanner with a decent-sized feed tray.

Brother HL 2170W laser jet. 12 dolla at the thrift shop.

>>59132325
awsome, there anything good thats cheap? really I just need it for that once in a while oh shit i need a printer thing, this never requires color

>>59132301
It's worse than you think.
You need to fill out specific form with Adobe acrobat, because the content of the fields would be generated into QR Code, and print it.
That would be scanned later on and then converted to digital format again.
Strange things many are following this.
New trend maybe?

lol linux

According to the Amazon links, the $100 printer supports linux but the $70 one does not.

>>59132606
Make sense because it have it's own printing server.

daily reminder that printers supporting PostScript (licensed by adobe or emulations) work better on Linux than GDI/SPL printers. HP is the only exception here because they provide open drivers.

>>59132552
>>59132653
The Brother website has linux drivers for both printers labeled as Linux (rpm) and Linux (deb).

Yes. Even worse if you cut a hole in the middle a sew in a fleshlight but an asshole fleshlight for some reason.

My Brother printer died within months. Supposedly was "a good printer".

>>59134407
Yes, but some of us have jobs and don't live on our mother's basement, so we need printers to create hard copies.

What printer do you suggest that's
1. All in one.
2. GNU/Linux compatibility
3. Inkjet.
4. Mobile device printing

>>59134632
>inkjets
but... why?
(Go with an HP Laserjet, they just werk on Linux with HPLIP)

>>59134733
cheap color printing, refillable.
And I don't print more than 30 pages a week.
>HP
HPLIP doesn't provide full support on linux.
Just like >>59128277 said, you'd run through hassles to get it work.
And by that it just print, higher functions like economic printing / fast printing or increasing the contrast when copying doesn't work.

>>59134733
but... why?

Perhaps for printing in color? Lasers are still expensive AF in that department.

>>59134733

>>59135320
Then you're on your own.
BUT: if it supports PostScript (or BR-Script) then basic printing will work if you install the PPD

>>59134855
Not only expensive, but generally worse quality for the price. They're only good for printing thousands of color flyers or similar where colors being a bit washed out won't matter much.

Real RGB laser color printing is RETARDED expensive (hundreds of thousands of $)

4 years now and it has never malfunctioned except when I needed to replace the toner year 2.

Canon Pixma MX892

Fuck I think I've had the thing for 5 years now. Either that or I had another Canon before it.

I don't really like it, but it works. I liked the old suite it came with that allowed for quick scanning of photos immediately to the PC. Great quality for glossy photo printing but both paper trays suck. Used to make family Christmas cards with it, but I honestly need to find a better professional card printing company for things like that.

Had an Epson C45 over a decade ago which was great, until it started vomiting ink everywhere.
Had an HP OfficeJet 7500A monstrosity that slowly died. Another HP I have now has a busted print head, but it's still functional.

all it needs to do is work when i need it to, unlike that fucking ink one, literally everyone I ever used has shititself within 3 cartridge changes, and the shit is expensive as fuck.

but seriously, anyone have experiance with ink tank printers? If i can get 6000~ prints off 40$ of ink i could do a lot of shit with color.

>>59131996
There are literally no good scanners on printers, you are getting stand alone.

Personally, get a dslr and take pictures with it, possibly get a tripod just for scanning so its easy to set up a station,

>>59132375
Its just so they can tell people who are trying to lie about 'my phone lost power' to fuck off with no exceptions.

if you require one very specific thing, there you go, the process is streamlined, no possible fuck ups.

>>59132478
Personally, I like printing off 3d models and forming them into real world things, If I had a quality enough printer, could possibly make a poster for bullshit I like, beyond that, hard to justify color when it costs so fucking much.

>>59132890
At the fuser point, its time to replace the printer itself for the brother one it seems.

>>59133089
well, on the topic of printing on cloth and large for paper, are there any somewhat decent ways to do this that are cheap? or at least relatively cheap?

considered silk screening, but to make a few posters kind of seems like a pain in the dick, and if I had a printer that could do it, I could make a small discrete custom shop online that would not piss my time away.

>>59133217
