I work for a company that let me convert an entire office to ubuntu as a test-site for the feasibility of converting over to ubuntu on all or most of our machines. We have a Canon iR3880i and have had difficulty finding proper drivers.

As such, we're in the market for a new printer for the entire office and I was hoping to get some feedback about which large-scale printers have good drivers that are compatible with Ubuntu.

We're running 14.04 LTS on custom built machines. This will be a network printer that scans, emails, has 4 drawers, a bypass stack, and a stapling finisher (at least).

Any suggestions would be helpful.

  • we do not typically make hardware reccommendations here. CHeck hardware comatibility lists. – Panther Mar 07 '15 at 22:20
  • @bodhi.zazen, I apologize. I just wanted to make a post for anyone who had searched here looking to get a large office printer working on their system (I appended a response). I actually already found one and wanted to let everyone know. Truly, my motive is to build my experience for a ticket I can actually contribute to, but lack the experience points to comment. :( – NotMy1RealName Mar 07 '15 at 22:29
  • Nice idea, I suggest you contribute to one of the many hardware contability lists – Panther Mar 07 '15 at 22:30

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because hardware recommendations are off topic. – user68186 Mar 07 '15 at 23:53
  • In general HP printers have excellent Linux support. – user68186 Mar 07 '15 at 23:55

I just wanted to post this for future reference for anyone in my shoes:

I found that Konica/Minolta C-454e. The drivers on the site were perfect for our office and we haven't had any issues since installation (02-01-2015).

I found my drivers on the Konica Minolta Site which were last updated in 2013 by the manufacturer.

I am very pleased with the performance.
