Kyocera 2530 MF worked fine through= usb and network on foomatic driver also on a driver from kyocera web-site.= Under AltLinux. 
But= Xerox, I think has worse compatibility with Linux. Scanner not works. A5 p= rinting might not work.
So Kyocera is more preferre= d by me. Think, this can help you to start your search.

Hi! I think you are too optimistic, thinking guixsd works fine with
=
printer drivers (that are pro= prietary in the mass).
Her= e you can try to find http://h-node.org <http://h-node.org&g= t; but
info from there is = very old and offered models are old.
But if you will not get result, you can try trisquel where it is=
possible to solve problem= s with printer drivers.

If optimism is= a crime, then I'm guilty as charged! :-)

I realize= it will be difficult to find a printer that works well with
Guix System. It's already difficult to = find a printer that works well
with GNU/Linux systems in general. That's why I'm asking on this emai= l
list for anyone who has = successfully printed using Guix System to share
their success story. I hope it will help me (and oth= ers) find printers
that wo= rks with Guix System.

Thank you for mentioning h-no= de. I've actually spent quite some time
already searching h-node and openprinting.org, and I agree t= hat although
they are usef= ul, they are a bit difficult to use. And like you've said,
the information they contain is often inc= omplete or old. If we collect
enough useful information here, perhaps we can share the details with<= br>
h-node and openprinting.or= g to improve their databases. Beyond h-node
and openprinting.org, do you know of any other good reso= urces?

Thank you,
