It's uncanny how any post about problems with HP always has the same solution in the comments. Brother.

In related news, learning what Audi is doing with their new model and subscriptions makes me think the world has gone mad.

It's a good brand. I have their laser printer and it's great. No annoying registration, 3rd party toner cartridges are allowed. Super fast compared to inkjet. Overall a great experience compared to my HP printer which won't let me scan unless I register on the HP app.

I have a network enabled model from Brother and it's never once shown up on my pi-hole. I'm a fan for life. Will never buy an HP printer again.

For a second I thought you meant never showed up as in your pihole can't print to it. I was mildly surprised when my pihole automatically recognized and configured my brother printer on my network. But now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever seen it black holed in my query log either!

I need to get a pihole... It might not fix my Linux printing situation though. I'm able to print but a big document with a lot of pages will just randomly cancel half through for no reason.

They're amazing. I run mine on an Amazon Lightsail instance. $6/mo. or so? I need to bring that back in-house on an old Pi.

Every tried setting one up? It's hilariously easy. Install Debian or Ubuntu Server, run:

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

Receive PiHole. Setting a static IP on it is probably the most complicated thing. :)

Thanks for reminding me. Might just do that tonight!

I love my brother printer.

I have installed no drivers and can print from Linux / windows and my iPhone.

It sits on my network, it accepts prints, it gets turned off when I’m done.

I’ve never seen it try to do anything outside my network, I’ve never seen it do much of anything on my network. It just sits listening waiting to print.
