Update printer recommendations (once we roll out driverless/IPP printing)

[deeplow]

Once we tackle driverless printing (SD Client 0.15.0) we should revisit our printer recommendations. In general anything AirPrint-compatible should suffice (although we want to keep the advice on recommendations to address WiFi exposure). Apple keeps a list of compatible printers and many even ship with a convenient sticker on the side of the box:

Found an interesting quote about driverless printing readiness which could inform our future printer recommendations once we move to IPP/Driverless printing:

Confirmed by most people answering down the thread it turns out that currently Brother is the best choice, and there especially laser printers. These are reliable printers which perfectly work as driverless IPP printers and scanners with all operating systems and devices, and especially they seem just to be designed to do their job of printing and scanning and not to suck lots of money out of the users by making them buying lots of over-expensive ink and toner.

Especially I found another thread about a purchase of a color laser multi-function printer from Brother and also answered there, telling that we have currently 657 Brother printers on our list and this answer was my most successful Mastodon post! 21 people favorited and 16 people boosted my post!
