Printer recommendations

[Bruce Dawson]

We have a

    HP_LaserJet_300_colorMFP_M375nw

Works OK with Linux as a network printer. Doesn't do duplex printing
(not that I've tried very hard). Note that I'm using the Linux HPLIP
drivers.

It strikes me as a rather cheaply made device (lots of plastic - I'm not
sure it would survive a cat landing on it). But it works. And it is *heavy*.

Its about $600 MSRP, but you can probably find one for $500. Its
consumables are expensive, but not overly. But then again, we tend to
buy them from HP. Seems to work fine with normal copier paper too.

Works on Linux, Windows, and Apple as a network printer. Sane/hp-scan
recognizes it as a scanner. And I can use Libreoffice (haven't tried
OpenOffice recently) to fax via its fax modem.
