Yeah, even the verge says "just buy a brother".

From the post:

>I have been recommending people buy whatever Brother laser printer is on sale for three years now, and no one has ever gotten mad at me about it. My own Brother laser printer, whose model number I no longer remember and do not care about, has been operating flawlessly for nearly 10 years now. We use it to print return labels for things we’ve purchased online in a losing effort to dull the pain of modernity, and my wife is a lawyer, a job that requires printing documents and scowling at them several times a day. We have replaced the toner once in that time, and it has never asked me to sign up for a subscription or fallen off the WiFi.

Yeah, I had to deploy these wifi printers to dozens of sites across the country. It's super fun to try to explain to a office worker how to plug a laptop into the ethernet port of the printer while you remote in and try to see why the printer is no longer connecting to the network.

I am fairly sure I posted that solution online when I was still hosting my own website(s). They have not been online for a few years now though.

The shit you have to figure out when you work in tech sigh.
