I agree. Toner doesn't spoil sat there doing nothing for long periods of
time, whereas the ink for inkjets can do.
The next question then becomes: mono or colour?
Brand? The situation current is this, that only HP released their printer
drivers as Open Source (at least 99% of them).
The direction of travel for printing is entirely driverless, so this is
less important than it used to be. And indeed, driverless printing is a
lot less of a headache to administrate, IMHO, than drivered - even with
open source drivers.
If I were looking for a new laser printer today I'd look at Lexmark (on
a recommendation from a friend), the firmware for which is apparently
based on Yocto Linux.
