Yeah maybe, but an orc is just an orc. When you're evil, you're evil

HP printers are orcs, and they do behave evil, whether they like to or not

Usually everyone tells about how amazing Brother printers are in every HP thread. But yes, to answer your question: Brother Laser Printers.

I have 3, there have been rumors that the newer models have moved to DRM for their toner cartridges. But I have yet to confirm this.

Linux sees all the brother printers on my network and can print to all of them without issue.

I've had an Epson EcoTank printer for a few years now, and have never had trouble printing from Linux. And the ink is orders of magnitude cheaper than cartridge-based printers.

I have a Brother laser printer and an Epson ink tank. They both work fine with Linux. I had to install some drivers but that was largely painless.

do brother printers play well with linux? I've had two b/w laserjets for the last 20 years. one at work, one at home. bought them both 20 years ago, they still work great. can still network (computer to wifi router to router to printer. the place i live was wired with cat 5 already when we moved in I WAS SO LUCKY) print on both of them too.

100% Brother. The driver support is phenomenal. I could easily set up a scan pipeline so that when I just press a button on the printer, it scans the document and sends it to my server. There in gets processed in a few ways before it's placed on my NAS. Very nerdy and very convenient. I love it.
