<p>I'd have to agree:</p>
<ul>
<li>Try to find one which cannot be bricked remotely by the
company (because you're not using their over priced ink, for
example);</li>
<li>And one which won't brick the scanner IF the printer has no
ink/isn't working</li>
</ul>
<p>Unfortunately, the printer manufacturers seem to be finding ways
- which I think have become legally concerning enough that the EU
is starting to stare at them, so to speak - to make you pay for
their own ink which either proves their completely incapable of
negotiating good deals from suppliers (and thus pay a high price
themselves) or just price the ink at rates that would be excessive
in an otherwise free price market.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hey Russell,
Most modernist printers will work with CUPS.
I have a Brother MFC and it works out of the box on Debian/Ubuntu derivatives.
FWIW I use popOS.
A bigger issue is the printer cartridges or toner prices.

What's a good color multi-function printer (IE printer with built in scanner)?
Only needs to work with Linux.
