I have a ~$400 HP with a flatbed scanner and sheet feeder, no complaints. Works well with Windows, Mac GUI apps, Mac CLI, Linux, iOS, and Chromebook. Use the generic Post Script driver for Mac CLI printing with lp, not Air Print, as the duplexer won’t work with Air Print and CLI apps (for instance I print groff PS files.) Works fine with Mac GUI apps and Air Print.

IPv6 completely locked it up. It would reboot over and over. This happened after changing my home router to one with full ipv6 support. Disabling ipv6 on the printer fixed it. It could be that subsequent firmware updates fixed this but I haven’t checked.

I use only genuine HP toner. No way I am trusting random toner from the flea market—er, Amazon.

Even if HP makes good printers, i would never buy a printer from them after their past behaviour. See https://www.npr.org/2021/02/17/968704526/why-printers-are-th...

I think this is what I have…that died way prematurely
