Just get a Brother laser printer. It uses a normal power chord same exact as any desktop PC, and uses toner, same exact as any real printer that’s not a money farming piece of shit ink jet.
DISCLAIMER: I have not investigated Brother or other brands for enshittification in recent years, so YMMV.
My Brother lazer color printer has just been sitting here, pooping out pages and pages of what ever I want, sometimes sitting there off for months, year after year. Still haven’t changed the toner.
Same, had a samsung for 5 years and it sucked, my Brother has been solid for over 5 years now. Just get one that has network support, so you can print from any computer (and even a phone) in your network.
I really miss google cloud print, it was an amazing product (my printer still supports it).
My HP color laser was such a hassle, every time I wanted to use it I had to hard boot it, and even then it only worked half the time. No wifi or apple access over the network or any other fancy stuff ofc.
Have a b&w brother now, the android app is meh but else it’s wonderful, just doing its job all day long.
In my experience, yes, but I also do not print a ton of color things, or things in general. It’s just been spitting out random pages here or there for years. Maybe only went through 1.5 reams so far.

Is that an AC/DC power chord?
Sir/ma’am, you win the best comment I’ve seen today, congrats

Seconded! I have several Brother MFCs. Rock solid, great Linux support, rarely change the toner.

Is the color laser as good?

I had a Samsung laser back in college and now it’s leaving streaks down the page. No clue how to clean it. I think I gave it away
