hi, thanks for not buy hardware incompatible with software libre 100%
you can use openprinting look at https://www.openprinting.org/printers,
search the printer if you see something about download a driver
(.deb,.rpm) be sure it's not compatible with software libre 100%,
look at http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ this printer are working, i worked
with HP LaserJet 1020.
look at https://h-node.org/printers/catalogue/en and check the field
'compatibility with free software:' = 'A-Full'.
note: if you have something that's work or not work with software libre
100%, example laptop or PC, printer,scanner,etc.. please contribute on
community database h-node -
and my best option, go to shop center with your laptop with
software libre 100% connect the printer and see you can install
it and print.
thanks
