LeftyLabourTechToronto@dsc @pluralistic I have an old 1996 vintage HP Laserjet network office printer along with some spare ink cartridges on my home network I rescued this stuff from becoming e-waste and it still talks to Linux via the HPLIP driver. I'm keeping it until it dies or I can no longer find cartridges for it.
@dsc @pluralistic It's a 600dpi black ink laser. I never print in colour, and so "good enough" and besides it was free. :) Any Linux box will find it on the home network in two minutes! Windows no longer talks to it. Android won't either. Not sure about anything in the Apple world but probably not.
