    I must buy a printer soon. Thank you for reminding me to avoid HP products.

        This is the way. My brother printer is a hl2040, came out sometime in the early 2000s. It still prints. I’ve replaced the toner cartridge once since my Dad gave it to me back in 2016.

        The other day I needed to print something out and this was after I had reinstalled linux.

        Just fired right up, instantly recognized. Its one of the best pieces of hardware I own.

          Which printer and why? I just bought three L8690CDW Colour laser printers for me and my family after calling Brother who were happy to talk me thought my concerns, they informed me that this model does not have chipped cartridges so it’s ineligible for their cartridge subscription program and they also can’t tell if the cartridge is genuine or not. They don’t care if you use 3rd party toner.
