Both Windows and Linux/Debian do NOT have wireless network so it will have to be done with USB cables. Network cable is OK, but a hassle due to lack of network ports with Netgear Orbi router.

>I don't do online stuff with printers like its services. HP ink cartridges are expensive and little for almost daily printings. I used OfficeJet Pros (inkjet) like 8028e and Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I used to have an Epson Stylus Color 880 Inkjet Printer, and it hogged ink cartridges and cleaning too much too. :( Or maybe go laser like in https://www.costco.com/hp-laserjet-pro-m283cdw-wireless-color-printer.product.100652793.html, but it's from HP. Not many choices in the local warehouse. :(

I recently bought the Canon GX 3020 after a brief
comparison with the Epson ET 2988/2980.
The Canon had 3 year warranty and 10 X the monthly
duty .. but in early days - it seems like a very cheap
disposable printer. I haven't tried copy / scan yet ..
In Canada Costco beats the other guys in price
plus they throw in an extra bottle of black ink.
