My old person trait is that when I purchase a printer, I should be able to use whatever is the cheapest compatible ink without the printer treating me like I'm smuggling unicorn blood out of Narnia
I bought a brother laser printer when my company sent us to WFH in March 2020 and I haven't looked back. Just replaced the ink (er, toner) in March 2023
Instantly. Least uncomplicated device on the network. Once I was angry at my laser printer for not showing up, turns out I accidentally left the ethernet cable disconnected afer moving it. Plugged it in, immediately popped up, no wait or restart needed. Prints immediately and effectively, cartridges are easy to replace and relatively cheap, never had stuck paper. Perfect printer.

I've heard excellent things about Brother being the least extortionate printer in the market. How well does it work on Linux by the way?

Do they sell all-in-ones? For legacy reasons, I'll need one with a bundled fax modem and a scanner if possible.
Yep, I have one of those. Model MFC-L2710DW. Been rock solid.
