From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have an Epson eco-tank ET-2850
Running it on archlinux, over wifi.
It took a couple of hours to set it up by trying out different packages, but ultimately both printing and scanning work.
And I like the fact that it doesn't use cartridges, you can fill it up with some cheap chinese liter bottles of printer ink.
If you get a laser printer, put it in a well ventilated area. They emit particles that are considered harmfull with frequent exposure, but are probably completely harmless in a home setting with a properly ventilated room.
