There are packages and source code on their homepage and in the Ubuntu repo. I need basic print and basic scan to work out of the box on any OS including Linux, more or less. I can install drivers, but I have a bad feeling when proprietary drivers are required. Often vendors don’t maintain them very well. (Contrary to popular opinion, HP has always worked for me.)

I want a scanner, the old one is broken. I don’t need a color printer or inkjet, but I have little space, so I want something reasonably compact and consumer inkjet combo devices fullfill this.

I like the ecotank design, no stupid and overpriced cartridges.

      Friends and family have several EcoTanks in use. Works great in Linux Mint, immediately detected. Printing and scanning from the network works without any problems so far.

      /edit: whoops, should have been a reply to the main post

    I have an Epson L1350 and I installed Epson’s proprietary drivers without any problems on my Debian. I think Epson is much more Linux friendly than HP

    I have one and it mostly works fine out of the box. It’s been a while since I set it up but I think I used the Linux CUPS driver. I had one time where it printed raw postscript but I haven’t had that happen since.
