I use to be of the opinion that business/enterprise grade network printers were the way to go. You'd assign an IP and forget about it, when you set them up you'd plug in the IP and magic. However once you introduce power saving, wifi, and self discovery via Bonjour or whatever voodoo Windows uses, they're not much better. It doesn't help that every printer manufacturer these days wants their driver to be a full blown App with a custom UI and taskbar icon so they can push their consumables on you.
