Can confirm, I bought my brother laser printer that looks similar 3 years ago maybe? Still on the same toner cartridge. My wife is work from home and uses it like an office printer.
I wonder about Kyocera, because I haven’t yet used one but I did have a rugged phone that took all kinds of serious beating and drowning (like actually being thrown full force into the wall/ground and spending the night in the rain) and still turns on to this day
and my experience with other brands of printers was never stellar. Brother was the less bad one, even though the one I used the most. HP was awful
all of this was inkjet, though. I have barely used laser in some offices but the one I’m furnishing now asked for one, which I also thought was the best option for durability and reliability
Jumping in here to say that I have worked in an office for a while and we had a Kyocera, definitely seems to be on the more reliable end of printers in my experience
I got a kyocera colour laser over 10 years ago as it was very reasonably priced, and the price of original toner also was (well, still is) very reasonable. It still is working nicely, only required replacing some rollers last year as paper started slipping - for which it was trivial to obtain the parts and do it myself.
I did this with a raspberry pi next to my ISP 's router and printer in the basement. The whole family prints to it from their various devices without any trouble at all.
I’ve had the best luck with Brother laser printers. For scanning, I highly recommend NAPS2. It’s free, and so much better than the vendor software that comes with the scanners I’ve used.
People make fun of our giant expensive Brother LaserJet that just prints, but at least we’re not suckers :) Seriously, these nickel and dime operations are infuriating.
This is awesome! Thank you OP, truly. I’ve been trying to get a CUPS printer server working for a while on and off, and this might be just what I needed.
