I've been a fan of HP Laser printers connected via Ethernet. Every device I've tried connects and loads the drivers without issue (including a macbook). Aside, I really wish Google hadn't removed the Print options from Android/Chrome. Being able to buy tickets and send them to my printer from my phone was awesome... having to save/share links and go to my desktop to print something, less so. I know I can often show a code on my phone, but there are times and places where wifi and mobile connections aren't reliable. Not really in favor of HP over other mfg's, only that I've had far fewer issues with them than any other mfg for laser printers at least. Been using a color laser (m451nw) for about 5 years now. I don't really print that often, a couple pages a month, and always had issues with ink printers gumming up when I'd go a couple months without printing anything.

I know I can often show a code on my phone, but there are times and places where wifi and mobile connections aren't reliable. I generally just print to a PDF on my phone (or download them directly that way, if that's an option). That way, I can get them scanned even if I don't have internet. That said, I did use to worry about my phone running out of battery or something, but at this point I haven't had my phone run out of battery while I'm out for several years now, so it isn't much of a factor for me.

It's not gone, it's become annoying: go to the three dots menu and select "share...". Then look for a thing that says "Chrome" with "print" under it.

  Perhaps GP was referring to Google Cloud Print, which is being sunset at the end of 2020?

  Okay, it's still in chrome, just not in brave or others... Also cloud print is going away, which is disappointing. Have my hp eprint setup with it so I could print from anywhere.
