1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    BTW, I've had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.

    As other have said, brother and canon are probably your best bet. Nothing fancy is really needed, but just print.

    Cannon will charge you an arm and a leg for ink. There are third parties but its a mixed bag with the DRM

    Canon black and white laser. Our original toner lasted for years and years, well above it's rated number of pages. Not that we print a ton, but it was still impressive. The driver is a little flakey at times, but overall it's been a reliable wifi printer.

    Until they push out an update that makes you buy a new one. Not that a bad update is Cannon specific. I just know they pushed out a update last year that made the printer reject third party ink.

    That's disappointing. We've had our MF229dw since 2016 and it's pulled zero schannigans.
