As someone who has suffered his second printer breakdown in five years, what would you recommend? Given that it has to be Linux-compatible.
Here's my two cents...
My printing needs are not high and some weeks I don't print anything, but I've found that Brother printers seem to work OK with Linux.
The Brother website provides Linux drivers.
Yeah, an i386 driver which at best is laughable this day and age, and at worst totally useless if you are enlightened and wish to run a low-powered arm64 print server. (Well, I've tried running it under qemu-user but haven't succeeded getting it going yet...) Cheers, Michael
