Does a Generic driver let this printer work with CUPS on linux?

I am an experienced Linux user, but I have had nothing but problems trying to get this device working in Linux. Additionally, it is not compatible with a lot of POS software in Windows. It does work in Windows, *sometimes*, depending on what application you use it with. I would NOT recommend using this printer in Linux.

It works on my Debian jessie with kernel 3.16. I suspect Ubuntu has a very similar set up.

As far as I know, you don't need drivers for this, but even if you do need drivers, you might want to tell us what operating system you are using which doesn't appear to support it. My advice would be that if the device does not seem to work when plugged into one of your USB ports that you assume that USB port is actually broken and try an alternate USB port. In case you are wondering, while I repair crashed windows installations with some frequency, and know too much about windows drivers, I'm only using Ubuntu Linux now, it is free, and it does not need drivers even for devices, such as printers and scanners, that traditionally need drivers when used with Windows.

If you had the printer drivers previously installed, I'd say Yes. If the driver isn't loaded, you'd still have to load up the driver. Worked that way on my client's machine running Win 7.

Yes Tomato firmware will make it an USB printer server. Go to myopenrouter site for details.

Yes. It works without specific drivers. But the surface is a little rough. You would probably want to find a scrolling pad which has a glass surface.

I don't know. The printer is generic so a hired tech. used driver of another printer

I haven't personally tried it, but the way to find out would be to compile and install libfprint, using the "--with-drivers=all" flag in the configure command line to ensure that any drivers that support the reader are built.Then, use either fprint_daemo or Fingerprint GUI to test the functionality.Good luck.

There are drivers for this online. But I'm guessing you must have bought this printer in a garage sale - don't waste your time or money on new ink.

Yes. I print wireless to a multifunction Brother laser printer. Windows probably will have the print drivers but if not, you can download the drivers from the printers website.

Doesn't seem like it. I tried to search for drivers but can't find any for Linux. I had to return the item. I use Ubuntu 14.04.

Download an updated driver from hp. But it's hit or miss. Doesn't always work.I eventually used a cable to print.

If the printer needs drivers to work under an OS it may not work. I have only used it under an android OS, of which it works fine.

I do not know. I used a Windows based OS and I only used it to hook up my printer to my router.

The best way to find out would be to first build and install libfprint (the latest version is 0.5.1), using the flag "--with-drivers=all" on the configure command line.THEN, build and install fprintd to test and get the GUI that shows how it works.I can tell you that the latest version of libfprint works perfectly with the Validity 301 reader.

It's not printer specific. It's simply a protocol converter. It's worked on every printer I've tried it on.

Yes, I got it to work with WIN7-64 as well. Install the drivers off the disc first and then connect and turn on the printer.
