Hey, what inexpensive laser printer would folks recommend? I'm done with inkjet.

Don't need color. Don't really need the scanner either, usually scanning something with my phone is enough.

If I get into more photo scanning (which I might eventually) I'll do a separate scanner, not a multifunction.

I'm in the US, I'd prefer not to buy from Amazon (but not a dealbreaker).

#QRcode #LaserPrinter #Labels #code
A question has arisen at work. I’m working on a bespoke app (react) that generates QR codes for conference attendee name labels. The QR encodes conference programme URL and attendees ID (as a parameter) in a single URL. We print the labels on Avery label sheets using a laser printer. In a test run *most* of the labels scan okay, but some don’t. I’m thinking our URL is to too long, so I’m looking at a URL short link for the conference programme to reduce the size of the overall URL, and some other tweaks.
Anyone have experience printing QR labels onto Avery-type label sheets? In particular how many characters can you encode into a given size QR, before the fidelity/error correction on an off-the-shelf laser printer label isn’t good enough?

My venerable DCP8065DN has been so dependable that it took me literal days to remember, yes, it has consumable parts and that might be why the prints look weird.

I now vaguely recall replacing the toner 12 years ago.

The onboard diagnostic estimates that the drum has 64% left.

This printer might outlive me.

Never change, Brother.

I’m looking for recommendations on a #Linux compatible color #laserprinter that both works well and is affordable. I’m leaning towards a #Brother #printer as people seem to rave about it, but wanted to see what others here used or what they’d recommend.

It pains me to say but our old laser printer has finally reached the end of its life, it’s over 15yrs old and has become unreliable, had to use a nanopi to host a cups server as it’s not even supported on Mac etc. 15yrs feels like a fair lifetime.

Which brand of printer should we look at? I don’t want any of those stupid ink subscriptions?
