  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Maybe a regional market quality thing, but mine fucked up it's cartridge pretty soon and has a long procedure of changing them, not plug and print like in older models. Sometimes it happens. Jusging by youtube videos it seems some models are just rare unlucky picks.

    Probably I'm the only Linux user that can't connect to my office printer over the net I guess... But I can't connect to our HP one either, so there's that

    Why? Linux has the best printer support by far

    Got a basic brother laser printer from walmart for $100 a few years ago. The toner reset sequence actually works! only problem is the wifi died 6 months ago but it still prints great!

    I've had a brother laser printer for 8 years now. Recently my wife was asked "can we get a color printer" and I said but we have at least 5+ years of toner left in this thing!

    Yep, I like to eco-tank feature…. And the drivers work.

    Can confirm, bought a Brother MFP like five years ago with ink refills and I still have one left. Best $90 I ever spent

    brother certainly has a good reputation, but i've been using an epson ecotank for a couple years now.

    once the 18000 page self-brick counter goes off, i'll try to reset it. if that doesn't work, i'll definetely try getting a brother laser printer. i print B&W most of the time anyways.

    I have a Brother but I think I must have bought a lemon. It prints SO SLOWLY (like it takes long pauses after every page). And it constantly loses connection with our devices. :(

    That's your settings more than likely.
