Since this netbook uses Linux Ubuntu, what printers is that compatible with? Will this work with Kodak printers or, if not, what brand of printer?

In my experience, HP printers have the best compatibility: most printers are detected as soon as you plug them / turn them on, and software is installed automatically, no CD required. Also had good results with Epson. As for Kodak, I really don't know. Check out the compatibity charts of your printer model either at Ubuntu or CUPS (the printing server used in Ubuntu)

Affirming the HP praise here, I've worked with Lexmark and Epson "all-in-one's" with some success but the most head-ache-free experiences have been with an HP Laserjet and an HP All-in-one, both of which are currently connected as network printers from Linux machines that my wife and I use at home. Aside from most-favorable Linux compatibility experience with HP, service and durability have also been much better, thus far, than with my throw-away Epson and Lexmark printers. I don't work for HP but I admire their corporate stance in support of Linux compatibility.

Search the Internet for "Ubuntu printer compatibility." You will find a page on the Ubuntu community documentation web site. From there, you will find links discussing various printer models, which ones work, which don't work, and which work with tricks. Pay careful attention to the version of Ubuntu, because compatibility can differ from version to version. It seems that, in general, HP printers are likely to work best, BUT again, look on the web site for specific brand and model information. If your need for printing is only occasional, Ubuntu (and most other Linux) comes with a built-in capability to create PDF documents. These can be saved to a USB and taken to some outfits (such as FedEx Kinko's) where there are photocopiers that read USB (black and white, or color).

ubuntu has inbuilt support for most of the printers. If you find issue most of the OEM provide drivers else you can get help from community. askubuntu.com

HP has supported Linux printers for at least 15 years via their Linux project team (due to strong business use sales - where 80% if all commercial entities run Linux extensively). Also, most Epson printers work great (the Epson 645 Workforce is one example - installed in 20-30 seconds).

Hi I do not have a list of compatible printers. I only know that it works with printers that use the Canon PGI-225 BK/ CLI-226 C,M,Y 4 Pack Value Pack (4530B008).

I'd recommend getting a Google cloud printer. Be cautious of compatibility because I have an hp printer that would not connect to the Chromebook without hooking up Google Cloud Print and a whole lot of other nonsense.

Yes, that should work just fine. Printers are pretty universal and should work for any brand of computer (except for dell printers with apple computers, but that's another story!)

I haven't set up the printer yet. But I have not seen anything that suggests I need a specific type of printer. I will update if I find out something different.

Sorry... I have this product and haven't used it yet. There is nothing on the package indicating the type of printer it will work with.

I bought the printer for my son's Dell computer. He has an old windows operating system which I believe is XP . None the less the printer does work well with his computer. I hope this helped .

I don't have that printer. I have a brothers printer and it works fine. If it doesn't work for you, you can return it.

Hi, Anybody have trouble with the software aspect? I am running into trouble with the driver intalls, in particular the DLLs, and the worst is driver CNMBR333, even with the updated drivers. I already email tech suppport and they responded quickly but their solution didnt work. I wont hear again till tommorow but since so many others here are enthused about what is definitley a quality printer that even make standard paper printouts seem like photo paper, I though maybe someone with a bit more experience with install issues might be able to help.Thank You Regardless

It looks like your Asus laptop runs on Windows 7. I have a netbook running Windows 7 and it prints wirelessly to this Epson printer. I also have a desktop running Windows 8 and it prints to this Epson printer. I would think that you should not have a compatibility problem, if your laptop has a fairly modern operating system.

This is a case when u look into networking your printer too your network. There are some Canon printers that have built in WiFi networking, but they don't really work well on Linux, and the ink is expensive.

Ahhh....I think you're screwed. May be time for another printer, and I would get away from Kodak if so. Just replaced mine with an Epson, and like it a lot better.

As far as I know they are OS agnostic, it's more going to be the application you are running to perform the print job and not the hardware.

Sorry, I'm using Android 4.1.1 so I can't answer that question for you. I heard Ubuntu was being discontinued? But I can tell you this is a great printer. Beats the hell out any inkjet that I wasted time and excess cash on ink cartridges. The prints look great, and after a year of use, I'm still using my started toner cartridges. I'm very satisfied with my purchase of this printer.

Emma I don't know the answer to your specific question BUT this an absolutely horrible printer!Kodak advertises it as economical through lower cost of inks. The truth is they're not that much lower and it will not accept anything but OME (ORIGINAL MANUFACTURES EQUIPMENT -IE THEIR) ink.AND the ink only lasts 10/15 pages AT MOST.Don't take my word for it. Read some of the reviews of this printer. I strongly discourage you from buying this worthless product.
