Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a printer that will work 100% with libre software. From h-node the Brother HL-2130 looks good, but having spoken to local Brother dealer is no longer made. He offered HLL2300 as an updated option. Does anyone have any experience with using that model with Trisquel? Can't find anything on h-node.
I know reconditioned HL-2130s are available, and I might have to go down that route, but I don't really want to pay brand new price for an old printer if I can help it.
i am not sure i want a laser printer after hearing about this

all hardware from think penguin works with libre software
Currently use Brother HL2270DW, don't use their drivers, just use the following under CUPS: "Generic ~>PCL Laser"
Works great!
HP printers tend to be the easiest to setup most of them are automagic, however, I think Brother is a little more "fair" with their ink/toner, HP is becoming very DRM with their computer chip ink cartridges, that stop working when the ink is "expired". Still has ink, still works, but no, they want you to buy more. :)
HP makes a good job at documenting the support for its printers. Here is how to choose one (skip the first four paragraph): https://trisquel.info/fr/forum/h-node#comment-24649
