I always show people single click printer setups.

Linux (and sometimes Android) is the only platform printers actually work reliably.

You have to click? I turn on my networked printer and every Linux machine on my network sets it up whether I wanted them to or not.

Which printer?

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

An Epson XP-830. Full disclosure: When it was brand new it was a severe pain in the ass because it wasn't supported by CUPS yet, I had to go out to Epson's website and download a driver in .rpm fromat and install it with alien. Bought it a couple months before I abandoned Windows for Linux and had to make it work. After about a year CUPS suddenly knew what to do with it and it's Just Worked(tm) ever since.

My printer worked out of the box under Windows no driver or anything needed. Maybe I got lucky.

    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
