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

    We bought an HP laser printer a few years ago… it drives me crazy in that when it goes to sleep mode, it never recovers, meaning you have to power cycle it to get it to respond again. Once it’s power cycled, it’s … fine, although I curse it anyway since it’s 2024 and how can they still make printers that still do this shit.

    Anyway.

    In Windows, on my wife’s and kids’ Windows PCs, it works most of the time but was a huge pain to set up with the stupid apps.

    On Android, it works most of the time after setting up stupid apps.

    On my Linux desktops, it worked perfectly out of the box on both of them. I couldn’t believe it. One desktop is Manjaro and the other is Mint
