Here is a business idea: the printer that just works.

Requirements:

- laser printer that works with non-proprietary toners

- USB plug & play on all major operating systems

- Network printing via WiFi and ethernet

- No 2GB bloatware installation required, i dont want your shitty photo management software, just give me the driver

- Replaceable parts

Brother is probably your best bet.

Pick a Brother that has all of the following features:

BR/Script (their PostScript emulation)

ethernet

duplex

And you will be fairly happy. If any of those are missing, you're buying an inferior line.

Thanks, i'll look into it.

I currently have a Samsung laser toner (M2026W). I bought it because its farily compact and blends in to my little home office corner in the living room. The duplex machines tend to be a bit larger, a pitty.

Printing - when it works - is pretty good, just the WiFi is extremly unreliable and i end up having to re-configure the WiFi from scratch by connecting via USB and using some proprietary Samsung bloatware. Horrible.

> just the WiFi is extremly unreliable

do you have an option to use an Ethernet cable?
