Meanwhile, an ancient Brother wifi laser printer that I haven’t used in 3 years and frankly forgot I had, moments after I clicked on it instead of “print to pdf”: whirrs to life 3 seconds later and prints a perfect smudge-free copy
I just looked at a Brother laser. Every new customer says not to buy it, because even though it’s being sold, it’s not supported anymore and it’s impossible to download a functional driver.
I bought a Canon a year or two ago. Laserjet with the scanner. Don’t even have a desktop. Just use it through my phone. Works flawlessly, every time so far.
I would buy such a printer with zero worry and never even consider trying to download a driver. Instead, I’d just use the one my OS comes with (or select the one for the next most similar model from the driver list if, for some reason, it doesn’t have the exact one and it’ll probably still work just fine).
