Printing is not overrated. I like paper, its reads that much easier. These days all in one laser printers are cheap, of good quality and they print for low €/sheet.

Personally I have great experiences with Brother on Linux. Brother has well-maintained Linux drivers, recommended.

Using CUPS on my Linux machines has always been an exercise in frustration. Installing the proprietary brother drivers using their shell script always just works. I wish they had drivers for ARM though so I could use a raspberry pi for sharing the printer instead of my Intel server.

You’re at a disadvantage today if you prefer reading on paper, it’s too slow. I’ve tried to go back to paper and I can’t. The information density is low and it’s too hard to maneuver paper quick enough to make up for that. Computers create a “Mary Poppins bag” of information that would take huge desks and rooms to match.
