At the risk of going against the grain here: I deliberately bought an HP laser printer and scanner combo(m148dw) a couple of years ago. Granted, the thing immediately got vlaned off from the Internet -- but that would apply to any device I don't fully control.
So far the performance has been rock-solid across several Linux and macOS machines and I almost forgot the saying "printers sense your fear and will break at the worst possible moment".
- macNchz 3y agoThe newest consumer oriented HP printers (with model numbers ending in 'e') will not tolerate being disconnected from the internet. Even if you only ever print over USB, the printer has to maintain a wifi connection with internet access, or it will stop letting you print.
- VTimofeenko 3y agoOut of idle curiosity I googled the current price for m148dw. I definitely don't think it justifies the current 400$+ price tag. Two years ago the prices were much more reasonable.
