Title, basically. My old torture device needs to be replaced, and while it’s been mostly working OK, printers have no excuse for being as shitty as they are. So therefore I am looking for suggestions.
Specs:
- Must include a flatbed scanner
- prints in color
- Wifi connection preferred
- No PaaS or IaaS bullshit
- No driver weirdness. I’m going to use it on linux.
- Available “anywhere”.
- Ability to sit powered and connected in my HarryPotteresque “server room” under the stairs for ages, unattended, and work without hazzle when I send it the bimonthly print job.
I know the geek community likes Brother. Any particular model?
For reference, this new printer will replace my aging Canon Pixma 4250.
Brother laser, any model. Make sure it’s not just b&w though I guess, mine is, which I don’t care for mine but you listed it as a requirement.
No matter what, “bimonthly print job” means you need a laser printer, brother or not. Ink’ll dry between prints, toner never will, and it lasts longer in general.
“Linux” suggests you should make it a Brother though. They work great on linux.
