You know that famous “Best #printer 2023: just buy this #Brother #LaserPrinter everyone has, it’s fine” article in #TheVerge by @nilaypatel where he says, “It does not feel like the CEO of Inkjet Supply and Hostage Situations Incorporated is waiting to mug me or enable #DRM at the slightest provocation”?*

Yeah, well, the party was already over when he wrote that: https://www.reddit.com/r/printers/comments/s9b2eg/brother_mfc_firmware_update_nongenuine_toner_now/

If I wanted to buy a small used B&W #LaserPrinter that could do #11x17 #tabloid , what would be a good one to look for?

ordered a new toner cartridge for my Canon laser printer...

i got this printer in 2013?
replaced the toner in 2019, and now.

The inkjet at work wants $80 in ink every 6 months or so. my laser wants $70 in toner every 4 years... ( and thats a real canon toner the cheapo clones/refills are like $30)

#LaserPrinter #canon

I last purchased a toner cartridge replacement for our Brother laser printer almost 10 years ago. This printer is a TANK. #brother #laserprinter

I used to write marketing copy exactly like the second half of this review. It's soul-sucking, but I always figured I could go back to it if times got tough and I needed a bit of money. I guess I'm out of luck.

H/t to @geoffwhill on Twitter for putting this great Nilay Patel piece on my timeline.

Opruimen. Te koop. Nou ja, tegen verzendkosten.

5 gesloten pakken en eentje schijnbaar aangebroken. Plus 16 losse vellen fotopapier/gloss papier voor laserprinter.

Kan ik hier iemand nog een plezier mee doen? Ik vraag alleen verzendkosten. PostNL of DHL.

Zo niet, dan gaan ze de papierbak in. Ze liggen hier al lang genoeg.

#GlossPapier #Laserprinter #TegenVerzendkosten

Well, looking for laser printer labels, I found carbon paper.

Laser printers use a plastic or similar binder to bind carbon to the page.

No, I haven't found #mimeograph stencils yet, but I do know mom had them at one time.

#CarbonPaper #LaserPrinter

#Mac people, do you have a #LaserPrinter that also copies and works wirelessly with your Mac? Needs to be able to copy and print (not just print).

I'm leaning toward Brother, but would love to know some model numbers because there are so many out there. Help?

‪I’m sure it has nothing to do with selling the #printers at a loss and then making up for it with #DRM encumbered #InkJet cartridges that must be replaced more frequently than #LaserPrinter toner *and* more frequently than necessary due to deceptive claims that they’re empty.

Update #MissFidgetsCalendar - this summer trashed dusty inkjet printer so @lulz when #LaserPrinter stopped working during print production. #ColorCorrection is shrug and guess. May start hand addressing envelopes NOW. Will need to print letters that accompany calendars-uh, gotta #mimeograph? #Printing and #MarkUps big part of my #CreativeProcess so #Whee #TryNewStuff #OldPhoto

Black Friday is coming, if you were thinking of buying a laser printer make sure to avoid HP models that end in "we".

HP is back to their old tricks, these printers only use "genuine HP Toner" and MUST be connected to the Internet. If not, after 30-days they will stop functioning.

So if you see these listed as "Black Friday" specials, AVOID.

#Brother HL-L2325DW Monochrome Laser Printer, Wireless Networking & Duplex Printing $110

$70 more gets you one with a flatbed scanner but a phone can scan most stuff these days.

@derwinmcgeary

I agree with all @emacsen 's opinions regarding hacking #printers . You can get a cheap printer easily; laser printers are the way to avoid the ink scam; I'm very happy with my #Brother #LaserPrinter — still works well after twenty years of (light) service.

It's ironic though that the free software movement started with rms and a laser printer, and in 2022, given the choice, I'd prefer to have free software for my washing machine than my printer.
