Depends on the printer. What make/model?

None yet. I haven't decided whether I'll buy one yet. I don't want one that'll only work on one computer at a time, but at the same time I don't want to set up a printing server, or really anything where I have to connect the printer to a computer at all. I just want the printer to have a power cord and an ethernet cable connected to it, and ideally I want it to Just Work™. I'm trying to figure out if this is even possible at this time.
I think that the fellow with the Brother printer was very lucky. I have two (actually three, but one not often used) printers, one HP and one Epson, and OpenSuse Tumbleweed, and so far I cannot get them working. Previously I used these printers on a different Linux system, and a kind soul told me how to get them to work: it was complicated. However, I
would guess that in most cases, HP would be the least problem to make work.

For my Brother printer I downloaded a script directly from Brother and told it what model. It found the printer, downloaded the rpm files for both print and scan and installed them. All functions work very well. This is a DCP-L2550DW.

Is this over the network, or connected to a PC over USB?
