I heard Brother is good. I’m sure there are better, but try to look into it

Seconding Brother laser printers. They’re workhorses and I’ve had good luck with cheap third party cartridges

HP is a shitty company and also has really good Linux support.

None of them are open source. HP does that ink rental stuff that a lot of people don’t understand or they buy a printer that does it exclusively(?). The laser side has been unaffected.

Brother is also supposed to have good support. My last printer was a Brother multifunction and unfortunately it had poor support, which is how I ended up with an HP laser today.

My Brother B&W laser printer is a beast. I’ve had it probably eight years now and am only, two months ago, on my 3rd toner cartridge despite my relatively low use. That counts the starter cartridge which I am told isn’t full.

My Brother color printer on the other hand is a pain. The yellow toner always runs out first and it won’t print without it. Well, it can, if you finagle things, but then it only does for like 3-4 weeks. Annoying as shit.

But, overall, better than any HP or Canon I’ve ever used.
