- zrobotics 7y agoSecond this- the really great thing about the brother lasers is awesome Linux driver support. The install process was simpler on Debian than even the windows setup, which is certainly not the case for HP gear (hplip, the less I think about it the happier I am).
- dbcurtis 7y agoThis, and for most Brother printers there is a page counter bypass for toner carts.
- chopin 7y agoHP has this as well for the printers I have.
- jschwartzi 7y agoWhat? I've never had any issues with my HP laser printer in Linux. I can attest that in Windows 10 I always have to delete and re-add the network printer whenever I want to print something because apparently being offline even once is enough of an upset to send the Windows printing system into paroxysms of fear, where it will tremble mightily, unable to re-try in less than 20 minutes. Don't get me started on how it's impossible to share a cellular connection over Ethernet because plugging Ethernet in turns the cell connection off to "save power" either. That little turd of a feature cost me a couple hours last week.
- stjohnswarts 7y agoSame here never had a problem with my HP laser printers on linux
- dngray 7y agoI have the HL-L2360D and it's been great. I love the IPP Everywhere drivers and don't have to worry about anything in particular anymore. After this I would only get a printer which has IPP Everywhere or at least is supported by foomatic-db. hplip can get lost. I can also get non Brother branded cartridges as they don't make a habit out of selling the printer so cheap that they have to then rape you on the price of the cartridges when it's time to refill. The non-Brother branded cartridges work just as well as the official ones and I can go into any major office chain and buy them off the shelf.
