Looking for ratings of all-in-one printers for Linux (Ubuntu in particular)

[nitin chandra]

Hi,

My experience is with both, Brother DCP -T700W and Epson L-565. Both
are MfP (Print, Scan, Fax, Copier) capable and I use them from Linux
Mint 18.1 over Wi-Fi.
They are both, ink tank colour printer.

My 2 cents.

Thanks
