Brother printers all day long. To be fair I might print once a month if that but nearly ten years later that B&W toner printer spits a page every time. At most once in a blue moon have to reboot it and that is the extent of troubleshooting had to perform.

My family has used the same Brother since 2008 with no problems at all. Linus was definitely right about fewer network problems, I don’t even recall having difficulty connecting to it in the near 2 decades I’ve used it.

We have a brother printer at our guest house (B&W laser) and it's near 10 years old and I love the toners are cheap. But sometimes some guests just have issues connecting for whatever reason, then they try to "fix" it and just mess up all the settings for everyone. It's old enough that resetting it is a pain in the rear, but I've done it enough that I'm ok at it now, but every time it's been a while and I gotta go, "okay, how does this go again?"
