Product: HP 200 portable printer
Operating System: Linux

I need a portable printer. I only use Fedora Linux. Every HP product I have used in the past decade works fine with Fedora Linux: two all-in-one printers, one tabloid printer, an ancient laser printer and my flatbed photo scanner. So I suspect that an HP 200 portable printer will work fine with Fedora Linux but sure would like to have some assurance before purchasing the printer. In days of yore HP was considerably more helpful about issues like this. I will use this portable printer with my three HP Probook 445 G7 laptops all of which run exceptionally nice on Fedora 40 and 41 (and only cost me $250 brand new probably because these laptops won't run Windows 11). I have been using and trusting HP products since forever (before Apple and Microsoft existed when I ran an S-100 microcomputer I built from scratch and kits in the late 1970s), I just wish that Linux support existed.  Linux is only used on about 98% of all hardware running Internet. All 500 of the world's fastest supercomputers run Linux. Red Hat Linux, of which Fedora Linux is a part, is the most widely used and trusted Linux among professional computer users running Linux. I consider it far more advanced than Apple and Microsoft operating systems. So hey modern HP management, how about returning to being the HP I have loved forever and support Linux ... at least for advice?
