I have a brother b&w laser printer with scanner (hl-l2390dw) that I got after years of grief from an awful canon inkjet that would clog after 2 weeks of no use. Went through so many ink cartridges on that thing.
I love the brother now. It can sit around for weeks and when I do occasionally need to print something it comes out great. Sure I do miss printing color but I can always send a print job over to Walgreen or Staples and they’ll have it printed out in an hour with better quality than a consumer inkjet printer can put out
Mine works with Linux so no issues there
Walk into any Goodwill. You will no doubt find their Christmas aisle fully stocked all year round.
Spirit Halloween probably makes most of its money on the expensive Halloween costumes that parents buy for each kid every year. Christmas doesn’t have any yearly cost item unless you get a real tree and those are already sold at temporary specialty shops
