Hello, I'm looking for printer/scanner combos to put in some home offices. Some will be printing a lot, so I'd prefer laser over inkjet. Many of the offices are cramped, so I'd prefer a compact multi-function unit over a separate printer and scanner. So far, I've been unable to find a device where both printing *and* scanning works with free drivers. For example, the HP M227fdn is listed (https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index) as "fully supported" by HPLIP with no (proprietary) plugin involved, but apparently that's only for the printer part. Having purchased it, I've learned the hard way that the scanner driver doesn't work without a proprietary plugin. I'm not the first to make that mistake it seems (https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1727056). Has anyone managed to find a multi-function laser printer/scanner where both printing and scanning are supported by free drivers? Thanks, Daniel G.
