Jump to the end.. consider for Printing. Unless you are a photographer and or house full of kids with school projects and Printing color is a nice feature to allow them to learn and create value to home work assignments.
if you are simply one to print and black and white is all the same to okay. Deeply consider the headache to the Scam of color IC-chip integrated cartridge scams usage and buy the program to replace. even some of these 3rd party Color Tank systems
great way to maybe get use, yet create an easy way to Brick your printer. Consider a standard Laser Desktop Printer and or Work-duty printer.. Currently using a Brother DCP-L2450-DW workstation like printer scans copies prints.
Linux Install 1st obtained running Mint years ago no problem, MX easy to install and run the common Brother Drivers installed via DPKG -i or Thunar find the file.deb and click to install.
now old and out dated. I have a 2nd cartridge in it. Laser uses a powder ink and heat ignites ink to print. So far never has "Dried Out" heads do not clog or fill to crusty ends. And cost of 1 cartridge out lasts the 3 or 4 or 5 one would have to replace
all at the same time per Color printing units. ( this has over time been customer cry out to scams by all manufacturers. ). per their construct to color cartridge printers.
Food for thought. Document printing with laser is quality perfect click print now or 8 months away.
Retired now I rare to print less test and use the paper for desktop scratch. If you are employed and working hard and a printer is must. Consider browsing Best printer and practice for devices available best suited for your needs. then I'd share Charles suggest for a color unit shared is a good unit. Epson by some are considered better than most. I've had 3 all Epson color in past and all are well awaiting disassembly. for maybe re-use of electronics and or parts.

I think it might help if the OP was marked as thread author on each post the OP makes, like I've seen on other forums, because you do lose track after a few pages, especially as the thread changes directions (like I'm doing now :)).
Re: HP Printer died, what do you use/recommend on MX?
Is it better to start a new thread, or add on to a thread that is relevant to the issue, like I did here?
