Now get the driver for your HP printer from here.
Select your distro, version, Printer Type & Model.
At the bottom of this post you can see how i downloaded and installed my HP PSC 1410 All in One Printer.
A multifunctional printer is capable of doing various task, namely printing, photocopying, printing. Sometimes these printers can be used as a fax machine and you can take direct photo prints from your digital cameras. There are two types of printer. One is inkjet and the other is laser printer.
And actually, some of the most popular are Free Software. In the just-released Fedora 19 beta, three of those are available for installation. All you need to do is type yum install and you are set to go, provided there is a 3D printer connected to your computer.
When Seiko Instruments said it is now offering Linux drivers for its Smart Label Printer 450 and offered to send me one to test, I was happy to hear it, because it seemed like an example of how Linux is being recognized for even non-mass-market hardware devices. While the printer does work as advertised, it is clear that Linux support is a work in progress.
Most of the Computer Labs in Industry and Education Institutions are equipped with Windows. So Printers are also connected to Windows machines. Here a Simple howto for sharing windows shared printers for Linux users. I have test with a HP1015 printer installed in an Windows XP machine and shared. My linux box is ubuntu 9.04 ( I also tested with ubuntu 8.04, 8.10 , debian 4.0 and 5.0).
French startup Seanodes has a product to combine storage on many Linux servers into a single shared pool of storage, making networked storage unnecessary.
Setting up a computer to share its internet connection should be easy. After all, you’ve successfully networked your computers together and even shared files with all your home computers, so why not the Internet?
HP announced a multifunction inkjet printer that incorporates a seven-inch, detachable Android-based tablet. Based on the HP All-in-One printer, the HP Photosmart eStation All-in-One adds web browsing, Barnes & Noble eBookstore integration, and access to HP print apps and widgets via the integrated, removable Android touchscreen, all for only $399, says the company.
All in all, setting up a printer was a little more geeky than what I encountered during my initial OS setup. With a more friendly (for the open sourcers out there, I’m sure you could trade out the modifier “dumb” here) interface and help documentation, the process could have been cut to 15 or so minutes, I’d guess, but there were still some legitimate hassles.
