Gosh, why are their printers so bad to control? I’ve lost sleep over them

Is this extreme planned obsolescence?

My printer had to restart at least twice to get it to work, and I thought it was a problem with my computer…

    Maybe this is a bit much fedposting

        Best printers out there. I’ve had the same b/w brother laser printer for well over a decade and it is still going strong. None of the bullshit associated with other brands of laser printers or inkjets. It can sit unused for over a year and will immediately print something no problem. Also gives me 7000 pages between ink toner replacements and only have to replace the drum every 3 or 4 tone replacement cycles.
