This afternoon, I picked up a very nice Brother duplexing color laser printer, which someone was kindly giving away, because it didn't work with a current Apple thing.

But it works perfectly with Linux and CUPS, out of the box. With open standard generic open source drivers. And toner is priced affordably, because no DRM.

And if tomorrow you want to print from your iPhone you can always set up CUPSAirPrint: https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSAirPrint
