Hallo, the laptop of my wife is the last Win7 system in my network. My question: I need a well supported printer (MFC) with network interface, if possible with colour printing.
I know this is a bit controversial since they are a bit Marmite in nature, but I use HP devices. They are well supported using the most recent hplip package - that also provides a scan to desktop functionality, but I tend to use the sane packages because they better suit how I work.
P.
Same here .. using HP officejet Pro 6960 on all the CentOS 7 nodes here . The only potential issue (what I had to do for that model) is that I needed to grab the newer hplip packages from upstream (https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing), as the one from base repo was too old to support that model
Everything works, including scanning through the network (xsane, or simplescan which does its job)
