Agreed on the B/W laser printer suggestion, The Giver is just HP propaganda. I ditched their color printer after a few months and bought a Cannon B/W printer[0] for ~$75.

It's been a few years now and while I don't print enormous amounts, I regularly do need to print out forms or documents. I still haven't used up the original ink cartridge it came with.

There's also a Linux driver provided by the company for this model.

Are Linux drivers still a thing? Both our current and previous printers could be used without setting up any drivers through AirPrint. The new printer also scans without any drivers through AirPrint. I'd assume that Linux can also print driverless through AirPrint?

Drivers still exist but you can and should avoid them: https://openprinting.github.io/driverless/
Thank you so much! I really like the look of it and a nearby store has one. Picking it up tomorrow!
