It helps to buy a big one yeah, a little maintenance here and there helps too.

just get a laser printer

you're supposed to do your printing at work

Get a cheap brother laser printer for

owning a printer is simply not worth it

and NEVER BUY HP

>microwave sized
>giant
That's a normal size for desktop printers. "Giant" printers are those fridge-sized machines of doom you get in offices and schools.
What your pic shows is some sort of onions printerlet. Don't be surprised when you buy tech designed with appearance in mind and find it compromises on functionality and reliability, and doubly or triply so for tech that relies on complex mechanical parts.

Have this thing for last 10 years. Printed many books for uni with it in duplex and with cheap chinese toners and it still works like new.

Was not cheap tho.

desu I just lurk up and garbage dive old printers. And once the one I got dies I go diving for another one.

This is false assuming you need to, you know, print stuff. I work at a print shop and the prices are insane.

It's impossible to live normal life without scanner/printer combo.

Which one has wireless printing and support for GNU/Linux and comes with copy/scan function?

10 years of use.
Buying chink cartridges at .75cent each.
I miss the WiFi capabilities but will not change it unless it explodes.

Can you answer few questions?

All of them, if you send printing stuff to the printers address on your network. You can tell if it has scanning functionality by seeing if it has a scanner nor not.

How do you setup wireless printing in CUPS?
Also I meant native wireless printing.

I bet you also use the laundromat you dirty socialist

The fat office printers are like 30 years old, they simply get refurbished, cleaned and gets a new tablet attached for youtube printing every 5 years

oh we got a cool guy over here
HEY EVERYONE
CHECK OUT THIS COOL GUY
EH DOESN'T LIKE BOOKS AND DOESN'T AFRAID OF ANYTHING

our laserjet 4mv printed 3.5 million pages in 22 years. in all that time it only needed toner, 2 or 3 roller kits, a fuser lamp and a cpu fan. we only trashed it because the VFD burned out.
replaced it with a xerox mfd that's been even more reliable, i can't even remember what model it is because i've never had to work on it
