Our Lexmark printer has died an early death. The drivers were slow and fragile, so I will not be replacing it with another Lexmark. Recommendations or sites with Linux compatibility info wanted. We need one that does photocopies and printing. No landline so fax is useless. Scanner might be nice, but Linux support has been so sparse for the scanner in All-in-One, we don't bother. It needs to be a network (Ethernet or WiFi) printer. Lexmark is EPSON and I have an Epson scanner which is fully supported (in my 12.2 and earlier).
I have an HP Photosmart Premium C410 which is fully supported and works extremely well. Never missed a beat. Just be sure to install the latest hplip package (I downloaded and installed the one from HP since it is more up-to- date than even the 12.2 distro one). This is one of the few that I've seen where functionality is equivalent under both Windows and Linux. I have no hesitation in recommending it (in fact, my brother bought one on my recommendation, too). It does auto-duplex printing, has an ADF for printing/scanning/copying and can be connected via USB, wired ethernet or wireless ethernet. Great value for money, IMHO!
