What printers are supported by Arch Linux ARM?

[ResIpsa]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TheJayOJ', 'Y')ou guys probably know about DD-WRT right? It's a custom linux firmware for many branded routers…?

Now DD-WRT supports sharing USB printers if a USB port is available on the router, and I doubt even god knows all the different kinda chips used by router manufacturers.

The material I've come across there, to the best of my comprehension, suggests that you still need to install your printers' drivers on the specific computers from which you want to initiate the print –– DD-WRT simply forwards those to the printer. Like DD-WRT doesn't really need a printer specific driver or something.

I'd be fine getting that sort of function out of my plug. Don't really need to have a truly networked solution than can take up jobs from all sorts of devices like tablets, phones, etc. If I can make it print from my Mac, a Windows netbook and the family Windows desktop, that would be enough for me. So my question, if what I assume about DD-WRT is correct, can I make the plug do this?

Makes me think any basic HP, Brother or Samsung or even Canon should do. Will be printing out Wikipedia and PDFs mostly, nothing heavy duty.

PS: I even thought of getting an inkjet instead, one that offered the lowest cost of ownership (probably HP), and cheap refill kits later on. Inkjets seem to have a better support for different OSes and architectures. Why is that, really?

Hey guys I got there choices here.

HP LaserJet Pro P1102. Costs like 100$ here. http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/ ... _Pro_P1102

And Brother HL-2130 (It's basically the same as 2140, but 2140 is 50% more expensive). Costs about 15$ more than the HP.

What would you guys recommend for using with Arch Linux ARM? Or is it too much of a trouble to recommend?

I also have what WarheadsSE is using, Brother HL-2270DW. OpenPrinting classifies it as working Perfectly with Linux. But they're asking more than twice what I'd have to pay for the cheaper Brother HL-2130.

I got a Brother 2030, it has x86 binaries and won't work on arm. think 2130/2140 will have same problem, look at driver on Brother site and if there is an rpm file think there will be the same problem.

[WarheadsSE]

Yep, all of them are the same. Brother only releases x86 binary blobs
