I have a brother laser Printer which I use via IPP from my network. It can hold a bunch of pages in RAM and Print them once the other (it can Print 3 in a row) are finished.
Now what does any propriatery printing service do?
They feed ONE PAGE AT A TIME, so my printer starts printing, then it starts cooling off, but then it has to HEAT UP AGAIN FOR FUCKS SAKE, and that every time.
Also if I just print via CUPS from my Linux machine, its like 5 times faster.
And I just don’t understand how my 15€ thin client from over 20 years ago can do more and better than my 1200€ iPad.
Just a reminder why I keep using Linux.
Yeah! CUPS is great. I just connected my Brother printer to it and everything Just Works.
bump. my brother multifunction worked flawlessly. scanner, printer…I assume the fax would work if it was hooked up.
Mac is 85-90%
Windows, I just completely uninstall/reinstall for each use because it is more reliable than trying to use it otherwise.
oddly enough, the Canon I got will only work properly from the phone, which pisses me off everyday. that thing is a POS.

big ol dookie on Canon…💩💩💩
one of the worst technology purchases I ever made.
I bought the laser brother for scan and documents, which is awesome.
but I needed something for photos… found this “highly rated” Canon photo only printer… hot garbage.
i used to have an old brother laser printer that lasted for almost 15 years and the replacement that i got lasted less than 2; it makes me wonder if it was intentional.
