And I'm over here, ~~with a laser printer~~ with 20 year old HP inkjet printer, laughing at everyone’s “printer not working” issues. Hasn’t let me down ever ~~and is a speed demon.~~ but the high-DPI setting takes 20 minutes per A4 page to create near-laser quality.

Laser printers are definitely the way to go, but still not 100% without problems. Every once in a while I get some bullshit messages about my magenta toner not being compatible, but unplugging it for a minute seems to fix it.

Which one you got?

A Brother, no idea what model or anything, googled a bit and took the most recommended color one

From what I've heard, even inkjet Brother printers are good.

Inkjet sucks when you use it for anything other than regular work. Most people need to print out a few pages each month, maybe a package label for a courier or sth. Inkjets tend to dry out and stop working if you use them that way

There's good inkjets. They cost over $500, sometimes over $1000. They exist and serve a niche.
