Hardware that Just Works

Hardware that Just Works

Just purchased and installed a HP LaserJet 3050. It worked like a charm on FC6 once I remembered that I had turned off the USB-support in the BIOS. Printing and Xsane work great, faxing though has not yet been tested but I understand that it should work based on the info of HPLIP

Previously I found that the LaserJet 1100A works just as well.

IMHO if you can't use a Postscript printer use a HP and you have no problems. Many thanks for good drivers and support to the involved.

Scanning is an other issue. The only bad experience I have had has been with the old HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C, which prints but does not scan using Xsane. This is in contradiction with the info at HPLIP where it is stated that it is supported since version 0.9.5.
The distributions I've tried are FC4 through FC6.
