BTW, I've had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.

Ironically, the last time i needed a Windows PC was to set up my Brother laser printer. You needed to do it with some utility that was only available for Windows.

That's weird. I didn't have that issue with mine (though I've seen Canon and HP printers require something like that -- or a smartphone app).

Mine is an old 2013 model with ethernet and wifi. You could find it's DHCP address from the panel and configure everything through its web UI. It even lets you enter the wifi SSID/password on a very tiny, awkward onscreen keyboard lol

Yes, mine has one of those. I tried to set up the WiFi with that but that just drove me nuts.
