Looking for a new printer. My new HP Inkjet is a piece of fucking garbage and I’m going to smash it to pieces in my driveway.
Looking for something with good Linux support, and as little proprietary online HP-type bullshit as possible. Also, should I get a laser printer?
Brother MFC-xxxx whichever is available. Plug in the ethernet or connect to wifi and go. No drivers.
We’ve had a decade+ of solid use, the couple of times we’ve had issues we’ve had reasonably priced local service.
It’s because they’re lower-end “business” machines rather than any-level “consumer” grade crap.
We’ve had a bad run with off-brand toner shitting up the machine though. We probably spend about $600/year on genuine toner. But we do a lot of printing. I shudder to think what our inkjet costs would be though.
If you don’t need immediate printing facility, you might find printing ad hoc at Stationery Warehouse or the public library more cost effective!
