Years ago, Brother printers seemed to be one of the few feasible options. What’s the printer landscape like today? Are there any plug and play options that aren’t part of some ink scam?

    Afaik, most of them are supported. Haven’t had any problems with a printer in linux. Linux uses CUPS and CUPS is made by apple, so, I thought, most of printers are supported by it.

    And you could also search for drivers on manufacturer’s page, there’ll be linux version.

      CUPS is made by apple

      IIRC CUPS started independently and then apple employed the main dev. After a few years he then left apple and forked his own project under the Linux Foundation, which is now the “proper” upstream
