My Brother never failed me, praise for this one in a million company.

Right now I’m the only one in the house who can print without issues and it’s only from my phone via WiFi. The desktop and another phone cannot print at all. A 3rd phone can print but has to select the paper tray on the touchscreen every time.

We can go to the moon, but can’t have a printer that works.

To make the fairy tale work out:

• Brother laser printer. It’s there, it works, and I don’t have to think about it.

On the other extreme, inkjet is just busted. I’ll give ecotank some appreciation for not having an ink resupply problem, but clogs like crazy and have to spend forever trying to unclog it if I have to use it.

Then there’s HP, a brand that just works every day to think how to screw over printer purchasers to get more money out of them microtransaction style.

Can’t confirm, my 12 yo HP LJ still spits out pages as expected, and doesn’t even complain about the aftermarket toner cars I use.

I would say I miss when printers were good, but they never were… Just less awful than they are now.

I never had any issues with Canon or Brother printers at work, but HP printer are almost always unnecessarily complicated and frustrating all the way through, starting at the initial setup.

Some years ago I worked in a place thst had several Canon printers, it hit me after several years that I had never had any problem with them (except a stuck paper on some rare occasion)

Later at a metal festival i talked to a man who worked for Canon, I assuned he worked with cameras but still menetioned how good of a brand it was when it came to printers.

Turns out he worked with canon printers after all and according to him they have way more reliable up-time than the competitors, which he also worked for before.

So yeah, a proper office printer from Canon is something diferent!

I have a printer that works. B&W laser printer from Samsung. It survived multiple windows update, and still works on Linux.

Guess that’s why Samsung discontinued their printer business and sold it to HP.

Ive got an electric brick in the shape of a printer because apparently if you stop paying for the ink subscription it just stops working.

i wish i could use a laser printer but all the cool paper products require inkjet.

Got a new Brother and its been a welcome addition to the family, no doubt.
