@Jdott, the Canon ImageCLASS MF3010 works great for both black&white printing and scanning. But its an older model, which is now well supported.
You have to be careful about newer models, because the necessary integration drivers aren’t always available, regardless of what CUPS “adherents” may sometimes claim.
The Canon ImageCLASS MF275dw (first made in 2023) or the MF269dw II (first made in 2018) are the current recommended replacements for what I have (first made in 2011).
Welcome to the community @omid1388, thanks for joining us! 
That’s a good place to begin, protecting your infrastructure from the outside.
And welcome!
Hi, I’m Don in the USA, Just trying new things, how to learn more about linux
Welcome to the community @doneg57, we’re glad to see you here!
Hello I am Pradeep Mukherjee from India, I know about cyber security
Welcome to the community @abhi1976, nice to meet you!
Hi Joshua, nice to see a fellow PhD candidate. What are you looking for in a distribution?
Hi everyone
My name is Đức from Vietnam
I’m a student and majoring in computer science. I want to learn about Linux and how OS work. My plan is to work as a devops developer
Hope to get to know you all better.
Welcome to the community @barium, great to have you join us! 
Greeting @dihan! I believe that you have some solid reasons for seeking other alternatives to the Microsoft product portfolio. We have some solid people who have information as you can see. Best wishes!
Đức, soyez le bienvenu parmis nous!
When you say that, do you mean
understanding the elements of an OS’s architecture and how an OS is constructed, in order to gain the skills at building your own non-linux OS, for example a firmware-oriented OS for embedding that in some electo-mechanical appliance? or
understanding the specifics of a Linux-based OS’s internals and how they work, in order to master the selection of its application to a given operational context, judiciously configuring to ensure its proper functional architecture, and correctly optimizing the tunable parameters to maximize performance of its intended role?
Thanks for the Welcoming! I’m Charles from Las Vegas, NV. And honestly I’m over my head by been here. Autistic. Aiming for Red-Team. One thing lead to another, like it usually does. But in one moment I’m asking “what is actually the Internet” and in a few hours I’m creating my own server and webpage on .Onion. So trying to learn and I’m good at learning.
Welcome to the community @Paradoxicalhume, we’re glad you’re here!
Welcome, Charles! You certainly have the ingrained mindset (autistic) to strive for perfection, so I’m sure you will do well. I’m already sure that you won’t hesitate to ask your questions.
Thank you. I’m mostly reading but I’m sure I do and I will. This place feels comfortable to do so. Appreciate it.
Hi @Paradoxicalhume and Welcome to the Linux Community! Perhaps you should set up your own blog! I am sure you’re not in over your head, autistic = brilliant! I love your question: what is actually the Internet, questioning things that others (like me) take for granted is good. For instance, have you come across GridPP (Grid for Particle Physics)? It’s a computational grid (an Internet for algorithms). But in the conventional internet, with AI all over the place, I think we’ll see it morph into something new. The next ten years (as usual) will usher in a new revolution! I hope it will be nice to me.
Keep posting! 
When I first wrote that introduction, I was focusing the first idea. But reading your question made me curious about the second topic.
