Look at Kyocera TASKalfa Series...


fifteen years ago, Kyocera was crap.....
I sure hope they improved their stuff since that time.


I think I have seen this brand here in the Northeast USA.
HP is one of the major brands for the "big" office printer, copier, fax, collating, stapling and multi-tray office machine. There are others, but so far it seems that the driver for Ubuntu with "HP CUPS" has the most printer tray and paper/envelope sizes/styles of all of the other brands of printers I have tried on my system.

I really think the key will be which brand and model of "big office printer" has the best driver, with the most options, for Linux. That is in the subject line after all. I have had [and have] some nice printers that currently have no proper Linux driver[s]. My HP 7000 wide format will print letter size [8.5 by 11 inches] but will not print the 11 by 17 inch paper, for which I bought it. I have to use my Win7 "boot" of my dual booting laptop to use that printer.

EDIT

I just got the HP 7000 printer to work with Ubuntu. Current driver from HP's Linux site is "3.13.5"

The Ubuntu 12.04 repository has version "3.12.2" so I installed or reinstalled;
hplip
hplip-gui
hplip-cups
printer-driver-hpijs
printer-driver-hpcups
hplip-ppds
and all of their associated packages.

Now it works. It seems that the newest version that HP's Linux driver page does not want to work, or I needed one or more of the listed packages that were not installed by doing "sh hplip-3-13-5.run".
