    Assuming I don’t want to buy an Epson printer from the late 90s, what are some actual options for DRM free no subscription printer? Or the entire industry is fucked?

      Last time I checked, Brother was still the best brand for no nonsense, cheap printers, even with good Linux support. I have a laser printer from them.

      Not sure if it’s still the case.

      As for an ink printer… Man good luck with that.

        Just bought a brother printer. Works great with Linux, no extra BS. Love it.

        As far as I can tell, it’s literally the same thing I bought almost 10 years ago. Which, I mean, is fine. I don’t need anything more.

            HL-L230D

            It’s monochrome, but in every other way all I could want

        my canon mf3010 lazer printer pretty decent i guess.
        i mean it works, even with linux and even my phone over an usb otg adapter, scanner is a but quirky and hard to get working in windows
        it got no bullshit like wifi and stuff

      Brother might be the best there is, but I still had issues with ink continually drying out. Check with your local library. Mine allows me to print more pages than I need each day for free; I just bring a thumb drive with me out there. Considering how much clutter I avoid at home, it’s preferred in my case.
