Given my ill luck with HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP, I don't want to buy anything more from HP, unless I get this printer working, and then I'd need toner. |

My ill luck was with FreeBSD and NetBSD, and hplip makes assumptions on Linux file structure that are different in the BSDs. |

I do intend to try with Linux, and also try the MS-Windows drivers on FreeBSD with wine. |

I might try Brother. |
