RE: Canon PIXMA mg5420 or HP Photo Smart 7520
Hi,
> In need of a new printer, having done a bit or research, and considering either the Canon PIXMA mg5420 or the HP Photo Smart 7520.
Besides the Linux support there is one other thing to consider. The HP Photosmart 7520 was designed never to be turned off. It comes with a smart power brick that does not seem to work smart.
I have been in contact with HP support and they claim never to have heard of the problem, eventhough a simple google search will show lots of complaints, and even supplied me with a second printer and powerbrick to "solve" the problem, but the problem is still there.
If you turn off the printer the powerbrick will turn itself off as well after 5 sec. It is supposed to turn itself on again if the printer asks for power, it doesn't. I need to pull the plug, reinsert is and switch on the printer within 5 sec. :-(
> Thanks for your knowledge and experience.
FWIW.
