From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Another vote being cast here for a both Brother and laser. The nice thing about laser is that you can go without printing for weeks, or even, months, and just pick up right where you left off. My old ink jets, if you left them that long, would have completely dried out and need to be replaced.
man the new inkjets must really suck ass then. But im not really surprised since HP normalised paying 10 bucks for 10 ml of ink, bastards. can laser printers also do color? if they can id get one in a heartbeat.
laser printers can print color but it’s a bit expensive up front.
Brother color laser owner here: I've had it for a decade, put 3 toner carts in it (4 colors it's nearly $200 for all 4 but you get a FUCKTON of printing out of it. Heartily recommend.
