I honestly don't remember my printer brand. And that's a good sign. I bought it years ago, and it now lives under my basement stairs on a static IP via wifi, accepting the on average bimonthly print job that I need from it. Then I walk down, fetch the print, and close the door on it again. I should name it Harry Potter.

I hope it’s at least in standby mode, and not always on.

Nah, it's been running since '11 and because of a critical network vulnerability that op never patched, it's been a bitcoin slave since '15. But the paper is always nice and toasty.

You may not remember the brand, but sounds to me like you got yourself a Brother laser printer.

"Dude, you're getting a ~~Dell~~ Brother!"

I might not know the brand of my Brother laser printer either, if it weren’t for all the other printers sucking so badly.
