Having here an Epson EPL-N2000 that I've bought used back in '97. It's used every day. Having purchased 2 imaging cartridges on eBay for 1EUR each - which gives me a runway of couple of more years. Built in network card, but no IPP.

I need it to just work out of box with standard protocols on Linux, Windows, Android (Android CUPS Print), and iOS.
-
Linux: check Windows: check Android: never tried to print from there IOS: never used it and will never have a device running this.
-
For Linux, does it work from Firefox without installing any local cups daemon mess or stateful "add printer", just with the default auto discovery?
-
Nope. Used cups to print to it via port 9100 and using ljet4 style driver.

I’ve had good luck with low-end Brother laser printers. Cheap to buy, cheap to run, and they seem pretty robust. Admittedly their web-based config UIs are terrible, but I set mine up six or seven years ago and basically haven’t had to touch it since.
-
<3 laser. Any particular model? Does network printing work reliably? Wired or wireless?
-
Mine’s an HL2140, I think. Does USB, 10/100 and wireless. I’ve only ever used it wired though (it lives right next to my main switch). Bought it used when I was in college and it’s always Just Worked. Admittedly I don’t print much, but it’s been perfect for my use.
-
Does the HL-L2350DW look comparable? It looks like the current low-end model.
-
Yeah, I’m looking at getting that one now that the drum on mine is shot - looks like it’s pretty much the same, just adds the ability to print on both sides of the page.

I got a Samsung laser printer for the price equivalent of about 12 cups of coffee, roughly 6 years ago. Connects to my WiFi and is still going on its original cartridge.
-
I got a Brother laser printer for free because it was out of toner. Lasted me 2 years with an “empty” cartridge.
-
Laser lasts forever if you do a reasonable amount of printing. Inkjet dries up and gets clogged after a month or so of sitting idle.

We moved to an EPSON. It has networking (multiple kinds,) has individual inkwells, and only cost us $30 to buy at Walmart. We use it across Linux, and macOS.
