I just paid $10 to print 2 black and white pages. What printer should I get to never do that again? (piefed.social)

Title. I'm annoyed. It's 18c a page, and $9ish shipping, but still.

It's been a looooooong time since I've done anything with printers, so I don't know what my options are.

Really I only have 2 requirements

works well with Linux
ink prices are sane

any suggestions?

I have an old Brother HL-L2350DW black and white laser printer that seemingly never runs out of toner and every device I’ve ever had can print to it. It’s wireless so I think I needed avahi to discover it but I don’t remember having any issues.

Great thing about laser printers vs inkjet is you don’t have ink drying out and the long warmup and nozzle cleaning. I go months without needing to print and it’s always ready to go in a few seconds.

Me too, Brother! This thing seems to have infinite toner.
