My brother printer is a hl2040, came out sometime in the early 2000s. It still prints. I've replaced the toner cartridge once since my Dad gave it to me back in 2016. The other day I needed to print something out and this was after I had reinstalled linux. Just fired right up, instantly recognized. Its one of the best pieces of hardware I own. permalink fedilink source parent [–] original_reader@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) Are "brother" the nice guys at the moment? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago relatively speaking permalink fedilink source parent
