CentOS - Feb 2019 - time to say good-bye to win 7 / printer is the last blocker

I have picked up the HP LaserJet 1022n on eBay.  It is black and white only, but
works well with Linux and all versions of Windows I have available.  They are
generally inexpensive on eBay and the tone is cheap.   I can get 4 toner
cartridges for around $25 on eBay.   It is small, dependable, and makes a good
second printer.  Most printing is usually black and white.   I actually have 3
of them and am happy with them.   3 is because I officiate at skating events and
bring my own printer plus a backup.  One stays home and connected.

For one, the OP wanted an MFC, not just a printer. For another, I have an
HP 1018, and yes, it works fine, even though it's an Evil Winprinter (you
do *not* need to know what I went through to set up my router to serve as
a printserver to a USB Winprinter). Finally... I have, literally, a
handful of online vendors that I like and recommend. For this,
tonerprice.com. My last cartridge, a year or so ago, cost < $23 INCLUDING
SHIPPING.

I should have mentioned that the 1022n is network attached, so you do not have
to go through USB WInprinter pain.  Also, even with one of those Multi Function
things it is nice to have a printer that works every time.  Personally, I prefer
a printer to print and a scanner to scan and a fax machine to fax.  Each does
what it is supposed to do well.   But that is just a matter of preference.
