Just buy a brother printer.

  It's not that straightforward. When people will start buying more of them, they'll fall for the same tricks too. Here's a recent example. You must fight for consumer rights instead of jumping ship to the least worst. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31860131 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31860131 https://www.reddit.com/r/printers/comments/s9b2eg/brother_mfc_firmware_update_nongenuine_toner_now/ https://www.reddit.com/r/printers/comments/s9b2eg/brother_mf...

  What's with all the Brother sales pitches in this thread? Do you have coupon codes too?

    I've heard that they have become less user-friendly in later iterations, but I'm using a 10-year-ish old Brother (PDF user manual is dated 2009, so the design is at least that old), and all I've done in that time is feed it paper and change the toner once. They were (and may still be) well-built and inexpensive, and they're reasonably fast (mine is 22 ppm, vs my previous 1994-design LaserJet 4+ that was far heavier and did 12 ppm). Somewhat ironically, the old 12 ppm print speed would be just fine for anything I needed to do these days - I don't do big prints - but the Brother has a very-low-power mode that the HP didn't, so it costs very little to keep it on and ready to accept AirPrint jobs.

      All you've done is answer my question with yet another Brother sales pitch.

        If all it takes to be a corporate shill is "it's inexpensive, it's reliable, and it's easy to use and maintain, based on over 10 years of personal use", then they owe me a few hundred bucks in commissions.
