Pretty sure every one of those printers I saw sold are in a tip somewhere now. As a bonus, you could leave out those horrible yellow MIB dots that identify a document’s source. I suppose because the printer manufacturers haven’t quite crossed the line into utter dickholery. They’re pretty close to it, and well past, “not cool”, but perhaps not yet enough to drive someone to hack up a new control board. One possible caveat would be, have the cartridges themselves refuse to print after their onboard chip says they’re empty. Since many inkjet carts also have the print head built in.

If you like the sound of our budget pick but want the ability to scan and copy documents and photos too, the Brother MFC-L2750DW should fit the bill. At its core it’s a very similar printer—and it’s just as easy to set up—but it also has a flatbed scanner and a fast, single-pass duplexing automatic document feeder on top. Its print quality is slightly better out of the box, and you get the same operating costs, the same print speed, and the same connectivity options as you do with the HL-L2350DW. For home offices this model is a great do-it-all option—as long as you don’t need color. Even in the most digital of small business offices, good old-fashioned printouts are still sometimes needed.

If the Lexmark printer’s amber light is blinking then you should understand that there are some hardware issues. Hardware issues can be of different types such as paper jam, cartridge jam, cartridges dried out, improper fix of cartridges etc. So, you need to fix all physical error first and then head towards printings. I solved this by downloading HP driver executive, then I opened it with Driversol Drivers Winrar instead of executing the program. I’ve extracted the files in a folder, then with device manager managed to update the missing drivers. A nightmare that lasted 3 weeks, finally over.

Especially with the new version 2.0, OO is very full featured and easy and robust . In short there is probably no business case for MS to support a version of office on Linux. Well lets see… some of the core applications that make up office actually came out on the mac first. Linspire, Xandros, Mepis, and many others, are about as easy as you can get. Now, other more technical/geek/professional Distros/Unices are harder to use for non tech users, but the newbie friendly distros simply can’t be beat in the ease of use department.

At least Lexmark announces it when you go to download the latest firmware from their website driver solution now. Find out and download the firmware version that is closest to the manufacturing date (ours is manufactured in 2017 so I downloaded LW63.SB.P638 which was released in June 2018). So, instead of ordering a new toner cartridge from the official website which would cost us A$340.51, we decided to get a bit outdated-looking but still OEM one from eBay for only A$149 .
