I remember reading somewhere about less and less linux-friendly printers implementation, which would seem odd to me.

The HP Officejet Pro 8100 that I mentioned before works with SuSE Linux and some HP software via network (even with an older SuSE).
Just take a look at this:
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web..._pro_8100.html

The question is if printing works for N900 without that ePrint.
I do not like that cloud printing stuff, I want to print via WLAN and not via Internet.

2nd best solution would be
N900 -> Computer -> HP Officejet Pro 8100
which seems to be possible via
"URPO Remote Printing Utility for Maemo"
http://urpo.garage.maemo.org/index.html
(but I did not test this). Otoh: if I do it this way I can
transfer files via USB to the computer and do the printing there
without URPO.
