Comment on Has HP printers always been this bad?

It’s pretty much always been this way with the HP ones. Years ago when wireless printers were not the standard, we used to connect a printer to the family Windows PC and then share it on the network. We got a new one set it up, and the printer refused to be shared. Turns out HP had explicitly blocked network sharing in their Windows software driver for that printer. Never purchased another one since. Brother isn’t perfect, but I have multiple 8+ year old Brother laser printers still in service right now and they “Just Work.”

I have been flipping back and forth between Brother and Epson over the years. My wife does high volume printing at times (teacher). I figure 2-3 boxes of paper per year.
The Epson ecotank has worked well for the past 3 years we’ve had it. Probably 9-10 boxes of paper through it already.
I have never had any software issues with it, even use it with Linux.
