- dsr_ 10y agoBrother. Look for: - BRScript3 (their clone of PostScript) - ethernet port - a "D" on the end means it can print on both sides, duplexing. It's slower but oh so much more convenient. Printers with all these features start around $100.
- pfooti 10y agoYup. I have had two brother printers so far. The first was about 8 years old when the paper feed became unreliable, so I replaced it with a newer (color) model. Prints great, takes whatever cartridges fit, works fine with Linux, windows and osx. Haven't tried network printing from Android or iOS yet. Disclaimer: I probably print about five pages a month, so it hardly sees extensive use. I also don't print photo quality stuff, mostly role playing maps and characters for gaming sessions. But under those constraints, it's been great.
- wyclif 10y agoThis is great actionable info, thanks! I just googled around for printers with these features, and learned something I didn't know.
- Tempest1981 10y agoGood service too. Brother sent out a Pitney Bowes repair person free of charge for my $350 color laser printer.
- PieterH 10y agoHaha, broscript... Sorry, thought I was on Reddit.
- PieterH 10y agoCheap Samsung B&W around $60-70. I've used two over 5 years, very good.
