BTW, I've had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.
This post is a reminder that I might have to take another look at used printers for sale, get something that won't suck whenever I need to print RPG character sheets and other stuff for tabletop gaming
Against the original joke, I'd recommend a samsung one, but their printer division has been bought by HP so…
It's funny but i did find a brother laser printer in trash. It was working fine so i sold it since i already had a newer model.
A brother laser printer a solid pick
I got a small xerox laser. It's fantastic. Works on everything I'm the house, including phones, tablets, windows and Linux. It's a bit more eh feature rich than I was expecting, but after tinkering in the settings I've not had to touch it in years.
You know, I've never considered a Xerox (despite them being kind of OG in that department lol).
I guess I just assumed they only made the big MFP's for offices.
Will keep them in mind. Thanks.
It's a xerox B230 if you're interested. It's small, and as survived cats, a 4yr old and several water spills lol.

Now that's an endorsement!
I inherited an Canon Pixma MG3600 from a friend who got a new printer of her own, and it's been impressively stable for years now.
A really solid printing experience on Linux; I'd say "plug and play" but I've got it set up for wireless printing and it worked immediately without plugging in!
I've not tried the scanner on Linux but it worked on Mac out of the box without proprietary drivers so I can imagine the same for Linux.
I have an Epson inkjet that I'm not going to throw away yet. It's 6 years old though, not sure if they still make it.
That's not entirely true. I've been a Mac user since 1989 and I also recommend Brother laser printers
Weirdly I think I have one of the last half-decent HP all-in-one printers from about a decade and a half ago
It takes third party ink and still more or less works as it did when I got it.
I'll probably get a brother the day it finally dies though
Brother printers are great. Probably the only decent printer brand for home usage. My university has free printing, and those are Canon printers. They seem to work fine, so I guess the commercial market is a little different.
Weirdly, my parents have this Samsung M2020W printer, and I gotta say, it's pretty neat. Takes any off-brand toner cartridge. They only need a cartridge every year or so. It's been 3+ years, but no problem so far. That might be an exceptional case, though.
I used to have a Samsung laser for quite a few years. Went through maybe three toner cartridges. Eventually it started slipping and I didn't bother finding out if there's a repair available and bought a brother laser instead. Worked pretty great otherwise.
Haven't tried toner transfer on this, but regular printouts are fine and it's much faster.
Sharp also make great commerical-grade printers that are 100% Linux compatible, we're using these at work: http://global.sharp/products/copier/products/bp_70c65/index.html
They don't really make anything small enough to be a "home" model, this looks like their smallest printer: https://global.sharp/products/copier/products/mx_c358f/index.html (and that's around $1000, if you could even find someone to sell you one).
I mean, I'm pretty happy with mine! 10/10 would recommend!
Also true for windows!
Brother printers are just that good.
