The closest thing you're likely to get is a black and white Brother laser.
It's as open as a printer is likely to ever be in terms of driver support, the availability of parts is reasonable, and you plug the thing in via USB and then forget it exists until you need to print something.
I have a 2300D I've had for most of a decade now and the only thing I've had to do is put paper in it.
My wireless brother is also setup and forget. So long as you keep the same wifi name and pw it will alway work. Ive moved 4 times with it and theres not been as much as a single misprint or anything
Also a black/white laserprinter, bought in 2015
That's a good unit! The fuser assembly in that one is bulletproof. I won't recommend or buy anything except for Brother laser printers.
Got the same printer, it's also great if you don't print a lot. I'm still on the same third party toner from 7+ years ago. Never again will I buy an inkjets printer.
The whole reason I bought a laser printer. I was sick of paying $20 every time I printed something once a month or so. 100% worth it.
Will definately take a look, thanks.
2350dw, use the wifi, just works on all platforms including bsd.
