Just don’t buy the loss printers and buy proper office/business class printers.
Not that hard.
Our main printer at work is HP and has no HP apps (besides the driver) associated on our workstations to print on the bloddy thing.

Anddd this is why I run LTSC on my gaming desktop, with automatic driver installation OFF 👍 and Linux on my laptop + everything else that doesn’t have peripherals that only work fully under Windows.
I went to my Makerspace a few days ago to print something (both of mine are dead) and they only have HP printers… which weren’t working. The HP Smart app would freeze on the logo. Eventually got it sorted, but I’ve never had that issue when at my parents, or at my partners parents who both have Brother laser printers

Surprised they don’t force upon business some shitty cloud service to use their enterprise printers

We wouldn’t buy them if so. There are plenty of other enterprise printer suppliers (using Konica currently but not loving it) that we IT departments would contract instead. I probably won’t look at Konica for my next contract but it definitely won’t be HP.

Ah but if Samsung adds the notch then everyone gets the notch.
Just saying if there’s money to be made they’ll stop at nothing

It’s an older model so my information may be outdated in regards to current models.
We sell brother to our customers but no printer is every your friend anyway.

Same! 99% of the problems people have with Windows goes away when you use the no-bullshit enterprise edition and disable automatic updates.
Also +1 for Brother
