What Printer?


My old printer died and I need a new one. But the field now seems packed with inefficient, DRM-laden printers needing a refill every 5 pages. Any recommendations for printers that

- just work, no nonsense

- primarily for B&W jobs but occasional color

- don't mind speed or ink/laser but reliability and working on WiFi / Linux strongly welcome.

- built in scanner welcome

I remember Brother printers were at one time highly recommended, but recently there were some voices of disappointment?

Many thanks for any tips!

When i need to print in color, there are shops who do this. I have an xerox b225 which i am happy with. My needs for color images is so low that any colorprinter is thrown out money
