HP printer. New purchase planned. Mint compatible?
by Brigadier from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FGBE)
I've been trying for an age to get a Kyocera FS-1350DN to work with Mint but I get nowhere. I've asked on various forums to no avail. Kyocera themselves seem to have no answers. So it's time for a new printer.
The consensus seems to be that HP is best, I'm a low volume user and don't want anything fancy.
Monochrome. Laser. Duplex.
Simple hardwire connection to laptop (although wireless for later might be useful).
But above all, it must work straight out the box. I don't have the time, enough knowledge or inclination to tinker, so recommendations would be much appreciated.
So far I've looked at the Laserjet Pro M404dn and the slightly cheaper Laserjet Pro 203dw.
I don't see these two in the hplip listing at https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-i.../release_notes even though a search seems to say that they are there. I may have missed them.
Ideally, it'll work with both my laptops:
Laptop (1) has Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 3.2.7
Laptop (2) has Mint 20.1 Cinnamon 4.8.6
