Brother. Look for:

- BRScript3 (their clone of PostScript)

- ethernet port

- a "D" on the end means it can print on both sides, duplexing. It's slower but oh so much more convenient.

Printers with all these features start around $100.

Yup. I have had two brother printers so far. The first was about 8 years old when the paper feed became unreliable, so I replaced it with a newer (color) model. Prints great, takes whatever cartridges fit, works fine with Linux, windows and osx. Haven't tried network printing from Android or iOS yet.

Disclaimer: I probably print about five pages a month, so it hardly sees extensive use. I also don't print photo quality stuff, mostly role playing maps and characters for gaming sessions. But under those constraints, it's been great.

Good service too. Brother sent out a Pitney Bowes repair person free of charge for my $350 color laser printer.

This is great actionable info, thanks! I just googled around for printers with these features, and learned something I didn't know.

Haha, broscript... Sorry, thought I was on Reddit.
