I'm about to buy a new printer, in its technichal specifications it says it Does not support Linux.

Which I find odd as it shouldn't really matter, Ubuntu Linux worked fine with my old printer.

I think what the website selling the printer is trying to say is that The software CD which comes with the printer is only meant for Windows and/or they've never used the printer with Linux so they just say 'No' on the site so as to cover them selfs.

 

Would I be right in thinking any modern inkjet printer will work fine if I just plug it into my USB port.

 

 

Thanks in advance guys

That will depend... Have you tried googling the printer model and "ubuntu" or similar?

 

HP printers will tend to work well.
