Almost all HP printers are well-supported in Linux using the hplip |
| 7 |
open source drivers which act as a backend to CUPS and are developed |
| 8 |
with help from HP. hplip also supports features such as scanning on |
| 9 |
all-in-ones. hplip is available in most modern distributions. For a |
| 10 |
complete list of supported printers, go to |
| 11 |
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html - |
| 12 |
there are over 1500 printers listed. In fact, there are less than 20 |
| 13 |
HP printers that _aren't_ supported by the hplip drivers! |

Thanks to HP's support of open source drivers for their printers I |
| 16 |
don't look anywhere else when deciding on a printer to buy. |
