Throughout my life i have set up a multitude of different printers. None of them have been a pleasant experience. Why is this, and is there a printer that is actually good?

Order of priorities:

Free/open software and hardware
Available ink/toner and spares
No connectivity "dumb as a rock"

Print quality really doesent matter unless it is really bad. Of course, im willing to make sacrifices on all of these points, but you get the gist.

Any suggestions for models that comes even close to any of these requirements?

I've been a Lexmark laser tech for 15 years, so I am a bit biased. Repairing a lexmark is miles easier than any other brand I've worked on, and I've worked on them all. Kyocera desktops are the only ones in a similar category. I can easily keep a Lexmark running into the millions of pages. Their network usability is as complex or as simple as you need. Their Universal driver is unmatched when it comes to stability. Their Linux support is pretty damn good too. Again, I am biased as hell here, but I personally would buy a lexmark laser in a heartbeat.

Also, fuck HP with a rusty spoon. Garbage fuckin' machines...
