Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Feb 07

What I tell all the people I know looking for a printer is, if it fails
to list Mac or Linux compatibility don't buy it. My days of buying
something with the hope it works on Linux boxes is gone. If the
manufacturer feels it is to much trouble to list Linux, it is to much
trouble trying to use their product.

I know many printers are compatible with Linux but why take on the
trouble of testing or research if the manufacture feels you are not
worth the effort. The only effort I make is to send their product teams
an email stating the reason I overlooked their product was lack of Linux
support. I relate not listing Linux as one of the OSs, as no Linux
support, even if it will support Linux. A note: The Brother Laser
printer I have, the book even gives Linux set-up help even though it is
not needed.
