Good printers? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Looking for a new printer. My new HP Inkjet is a piece of fucking garbage and I'm going to smash it to pieces in my driveway.

Looking for something with good Linux support, and as little proprietary online HP-type bullshit as possible. Also, should I get a laser printer?

Also here to say Brother. I bought a 2170w like 10-15 years ago for $99, have bought toner for it twice, and it's chugged along the whole time. I see someone else saying they don't deal with 3rd party cartridges, and mine def does, but that might be because of it's age.

I'd also strongly recommend against another inkjet printer. We didn't print enough in color even 10 years ago that when we did want to the cartridges were dry and it wasn't just worth it to go to a Staples or Walgreens or whatever for photos or the occasional kid's school project. If you do have to do a lot of color printing, laser jet is still where it's at.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
