I am not sure if it is best group for this question but I am tired with
searching over numerous web pages :(
I need to buy device to scan and print which:
- can scan with sane
- can print from my debian box (strongly prefer without binary/closed
drivers[1], I'm not sure about hplip[2])
- no bigger than ~ (H x D x W) 308 mm x 363 mm x 437 mm [3]
- can be shared to Windows machines (with HP 1120MFP I could not do that)
Any suggestions?
KJ
[1] - like Brother, but I heard that they give source code for driver too?
[2] - hplip has a lot of bloat in his dependecies
[3] - sizes of my current hp 1120 MFP device
I like my Brother MFC-L2740DW. Duplex greyscale laser with sheet feeder.
A little deeper but not as wide as your current printer. Printing uses
only open source drivers (with the foomatic-db-compressed-ppds package).
Scanning needs brscan4-0.4.4-2.amd64.deb. I use XSane. On WiFi network.
Other user reports that it works with Mac. What is this "Windows"?
