:baba_yaseen: :agender_flag:🏳️⚧️ (npub1c7d…s5u0) Review affirmed: Brother laserprinters Just Work. Just get one. They're boring, in the best possible way.
I'm a career Unix sysadmin; printers and I are natural enemies. I have configured lp0 on more Solaris systems than I'm willing to remember. I know the guy responsible for "lpt1 on fire" being removed from the Linux kernel, and why that message was there in the first place.
These things, though? I moved one from Sydney to Amsterdam, and it damn near made the leg to Madrid. It died in harness, after about 15 years. They work, and they keep on working. This second one will probably be buried with me, because it's still working and nobody can figure out what else to do with the thing.
