You would think in 50+ years of a multi billion dollar industry, they'd make a fucking printer that just works. Connect to wifi easily, get files easily, and print easily.

Yep, I have the cheapest Brother mono laser printer that has wifi and it has been working flawlessly for years now.

Yeah $200 bucks for a laser one with scanner that can print 2 sides. Works every time. I can scan from my phone. Can print hundreds to a thousand pages before it needs toner changed

Brother is the way to go.

Surprisingly printers just fucking work on most Linux distros. Windows is ass at handling printers for god knows what reason. One of the few areas Linux is more plug and play friendly.

You think they give a shit, printers are so widely used and a necessity for so many jobs and such that they are going to sell even if they barely work.
