I see these constant horror stories of having to pay to print, silly ink prices, having to log onto a web server etc.

Is there no company that just makes a printer that works, does what it’s supposed to, and doesn’t play bizarre games?

I think a printer might be useful in my life right now… but, I’m actually just scared.

    But for the love of God don’t buy anything Samsung.

    I bought a $300 Samsung multi-function laser printer, printed 45 pages on it over the course of a year, and after the year was up and it’s warranty was out, the laser fusor died and would cost the cost of a brand new Samsung printer to replace.

    Their TVs are too blue, their appliances seem to magically break down immediately after the warranties end, and now even their memory, which used to be really good and reliable is having major fucking issues.

    They have consistently been a great company with terrible products, products that are really good while they work but then when they break, break expensively.

    However, the $7.99 thrift store brother printer that I got to replace it that was made in 2007 has tons of inexpensive toner available and the parts are super cheap and it still works flawlessly, with network printing working and Linux compatibility.
