Been with a laser Brothers for 10 years. Switched to a newer one 5 years ago but it’s only because I needed the wifi feature. Works great, no bullshit update software, stays connected to my wifi, never had to fight drivers or anything to get a new Mac connected to it.

It just works.

My HL-2140 still runs, but I can’t use it from my work laptop. Their macOS 13 drivers dropped some models.

I run a small Linux print server to expose a generic network printer that ends up printing to an older laser via CUPS. I use Proxmox now to host the print VM, but you can do this on a Raspberry Pi as well.
