BTW, I’ve had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.

    As other have said, brother and canon are probably your best bet. Nothing fancy is really needed, but just print.

      Cannon will charge you an arm and a leg for ink. There are third parties but its a mixed bag with the DRM

        Canon black and white laser. Our original toner lasted for years and years, well above it’s rated number of pages. Not that we print a ton, but it was still impressive. The driver is a little flakey at times, but overall it’s been a reliable wifi printer.

          Until they push out an update that makes you buy a new one. Not that a bad update is Cannon specific. I just know they pushed out a update last year that made the printer reject third party ink.

            That’s disappointing. We’ve had our MF229dw since 2016 and it’s pulled zero schannigans.
