Why does everyone hate my freedom?

dude why do you even need a printer for? Just write that shit down, yo

Brother HL-3170CDW

no bullshit

it has wireless but you can just disabled it and use wired connection instead

it does not scan/copy though

but scanners/copiers combined with laser printers is kind of overkill and a meme outside of offices/schools/unis

get a cheap standalone scanner and scan files, then send them to laser printer if you want copies

I have my old inket for scanning still
only reason I have not chucked it out from a 10th floor window is the scanner.

I run my own business and need to receive and send paper documents regularly. I want to scan everything which means a scanner with Automated Document Feeding (ADF).

>get a cheap standalone scanner and scan files,
Looked into that. Standalone scanners with ADF cost as much as laser printers with built-in scanners, due to economies of scale.

I see

One of the full scale models might be the way to go then

I do not know whether not configuring/disabling wireless and cloud print actually disables it, I would like to think it does with brother since they are japanese and not american.

Cloud print is great thing.

When planing terrorist attack just don't use tech.

>wastes all your ink and paper
Wow, what a great idea.

Just configure it porperly?

Wait, wait, are you saying that you need wired or wireless printer?

The firmware is proprietary.
There is no way to configure it "properly" without access to the source code.

Don't you have to register a printer in cloud print first? Just don't do that?

Are you sure it doesn't connect to Google before you even register it?
If the firmware was free, one could easily read the source code and remove all evil code, but it isn't, which implies nefarious motives.

>I do not know whether not configuring/disabling wireless and cloud print actually disables it, I would like to think it does with brother since they are japanese and not american.
I will definitely sniff all the Ethernet traffic of my printer in a separate network.
It's probably generally advisable to not give it Internet access at all.

Then i think you're looking for something like older lexmark, devices like X264, X363, X364 and so on.

picture related is a great printer

Why are you memeing about it?

remember that stallman started the free software movement due to a sperg out over printer drivers

if someone gets your goog password you've got much more to worry about than some wasted toner.

Now we have free printer drivers
and the botnet moved from the driver into the printer firmware

Good idea. I'll consider used professional printers.
Toner for large printers is usually dirt cheap too.

>Are you sure it doesn't connect to Google before you even register it?
Are you sure your brain is working properly you complete waste of breathing air?
