@defnull My first thought, before I saw your follow up message, was “It must be a Brother printer”.
I admit that I don’t print a great deal these days - but I’ve got a Brother laser printer, as well as a thermal printer for shipping labels and they’re just rock solid and unproblematic for Linux, Windows and MacOS.
I only JUST replaced my laser printer a few months ago after almost 7 years of perfect service from the last one.
Perhaps I’ll consider other options if I ever get back into doing high quality photographic prints - but for literally anything else there’s no reason to look elsewhere.
