BTW, I've had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.

I got a small xerox laser. It's fantastic. Works on everything I'm the house, including phones, tablets, windows and Linux. It's a bit more eh feature rich than I was expecting, but after tinkering in the settings I've not had to touch it in years.

You know, I've never considered a Xerox (despite them being kind of OG in that department lol).

I guess I just assumed they only made the big MFP's for offices.

Will keep them in mind. Thanks.

It's a xerox B230 if you're interested. It's small, and as survived cats, a 4yr old and several water spills lol.

Now that's an endorsement!

I will say, despite some of the reviews, and as an IT guy - set it up on wired lan. And add it as a network IP printer. Apparently the software (USB I'm assuming from reviews) is a sore spot for some. I see it up out of the box on my network and have never had any (non self inflicted) issues.

Edit: no software needed with IP, from any of my devices.

My experience working with the MFP xeroxs has been "change a single setting? Guess what? Reboot!"...
