I have a Hewlett-Packard 832C printer which I purchased new 20 years ago. It still works every bit as well as it did when it was new; the only maintenance I have had to do on it, so far, is to change the ink cartridges every so often (not very often, actually, since I don't use the printer too much, only to print receipts and the occasional document; in fact, the black ink cartridge now in the printer has been there literally for years and hasn't run dry--yet, anyway).

This printer seems to work well with Linux, the operating system I have been running for several years; no problems of any kind so far. I don't know why your printer is causing you trouble under Linux; it should work as well under that OS as it will under Windows.
