I just bought one last week and holy shit you aren’t joking. Our Canon was malfunctioning for the last 2 years, so I finally bought a refurbed B&W Brother Laser. I’ve never had a printer just work like this. I didn’t even have to connect to it. My browser just automatically detected it, even on Linux.
I have one of their all-in-one colour toner machines for my GF’s business, it’s awesome. Scanning to an SFTP share means she can just feet a stack of paper into it and get a PDF in her Documents/Scans directory.
AND fun fact, there are no lasers in “laser printers” they all use 1D LED arrays to transfer the image data to the drum. Only the early toner based printers used a real laser and they were operating almost like a CRT, scanning a raster onto the drum.
Probably misspoke saying the browser is what detected it, but the first time I went to print anything was from Firefox and the printer was already there.

Printer support on Linux is honestly better than Windows.

Wait, what?
