+1 I had a Brother laser/scanner for 10 years before having to replace it (a small plastic cog in the paper feed wore out). I got another one that's slightly better with 2-sided printing. Toner is 3rd-party and very reasonably priced. I would never buy an ink-jet printer. If once in a blue moon I actually needed colour I would use a print service. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
