Question for Linux users: I have been a Windows user forever. Currently running version 7 and have no desire to advance further.

Am considering Linux and generally all my questions have been answered except for one: printers. Is there a place I can go that will list printers that have Linux drivers?

All help appreciated.

CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) is a cross-platform printing solution for all UNIX environments. It is based on the “Internet Printing Protocol” and provides complete printing services to most PostScript and raster printers.

Try This Link and choose your printer manufacturer.

If you stick with HP printers, you are virtually guaranteed to work. The Linux package hplip will contain all of their drivers across the entire range.

Other printers work as well, though I am not as familiar with them.
