My wife's Samsung M2020w printer has been acting up - shows as online,
but can't print unless you restart it. I finally got sick of
supporting it and swapped it out for a Brother monochrome laser.
Takes up more room, but it'll print 24/7 without a complaint.
Samsung made great printers in the 2000s and 2010s, it's a shame HP
bought their printer business.
I had an M2525W that lasted for close to 15 years before a toner leak
inside made it unusable. Great printer.
Is there a desktop form-factor printer made now that doesn't suck? I'm thinking of a small printer with a fold-up paper tray that doesn't
take up a lot of room on the desktop.
I had a Brother monochrome laser. One day it had a paper jam. I removed
the paper but it still showed the same error. I ended up stripping that
thing down and couldn't find the problem. I ended up getting a new one.
Some time later I ended up taking the toner out of where it fits into
the drum and there it was...a bit of paper that must have torn off.
These days I have a multi-function fax/copier/scanner which is neat, it
can scan to email, network drive, pdf file or jpg, and lots of other
stuff. I think I had an Epson between the two and that failed also. I'd
never buy another one.
