[cups] New Printer Recommendation

[Narcis Garcia]

I won't recommend HP, because opensource HPLIP does not include required
firmware by devices. This means when HP stops serving firmware
downloads, their machines will not be able to be installed anymore.

AND: Wireless proprieraty protocols are tricky on some setups.

Most of my family and friends don't do a lot of printing (even *I* don't print as much as I used to) and are well served by an entry-level all-in-one networked inkjet for light printing and scanning from any OS.
