    Get Brother. Epson works but it’s more fiddly, I haven’t tried a Canon in a long time.

      I have a Canon eco tank, works well under Linux, and with off brand ink, it might be cheaper than my Brother B&W laser.

      Still, I would still have to point out that I’ve had my Brother printer for 17 years or so, and it’s rock solid. Off-brand toner is easy to come by. I have refilled toner as well, but it’s already cheap enough.
