I&#x27;ve gotten to a point where I favor HP laser printers... will never own another ink printer again.  I don&#x27;t print for months at a time... my printer (M451nw) is in standby mode, attached to the network via ethernet, and when I need to print something, a few seconds later, sheets of paper stream out, getting it setup so I could print from my phone (via google&#x2F;hp cloud) was the only cumbersome step.<p>I&#x27;ve had trouble with Brothers getting them to work in Linux, which is weird since they opensource much of their drivers, though no idea on licensing.  And the scan&#x2F;fax function never worked outside windows.<p>Then again, my current HP is about 3yo, and running strong... last one I have for 5+ years (and bought it used at a school auction) HP 4000, that was a wonderful beast.  Prior to that was a Brother scanner&#x2F;copy&#x2F;fax laser, still running, with my ex-wife.  Before that I had a few different inkjet printers of different makes and I hated them all... as I said, don&#x27;t print often enough.<p>I wish OS drivers&#x2F;printers for ink would print a test&#x2F;flow page every 3 days that they haven&#x27;t printed, assuming they have power, just to keep the jets lubricated.
