Books for you

These printing triathletes need the full
support of the manufacturer to make a go of it in Linux, and that support has been spotty,
but improving. In response to a clamor from Linux users, the leading producer of budgetpriced
multifunction devices, Brother, has begun writing Linux print and scan drivers. See
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us for current information on Brother drivers.
Consider yourself lucky, however, if you have an HP OfficeJet multifunction device.
openSUSE supports these devices out of the box with the open source (but fully
supported) hplip drivers.
USB and Older Inkjet Printers
More printers run from the USB port these days. You learned something about Linux and
vendor support for USB devices in Chapter 2, ???Preparing to Install openSUSE.??? Although
there??™s nothing special to note about USB printers, you should still check out
http://www.linux-usb.org if you have or are considering one of these printers.
Generally, you should avoid inexpensive older inkjet printers that came out at the end of
the last century.
