  • Review: HP's smallest laser printer – M140w and Linux set up
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Apr 2022
    I bought a Brother HL-L2320D which at the time was the cheapest mono laser with duplexing I could find. On Windows and macOS it's fantastically uneventful, unfortunately on Linux the situation is less great. brlaser [0] does mostly work, but it seems there is a bug as some more complex documents (typically scans) won't print [1]. I ended up patching my version to reduce the size of one of the buffers [2], and haven't seen it fail since, but I doubt I've actually fixed the issue and instead just moved the threshold.

    HVF works with some patches that are on the mailing list; it's possible to get Nix to build it with an overlay. [1] for the base, then apply [2] to SLIRP if you don't want to use HVF's network adapter (which needs root). I'm happily running FreeBSD and Linux VMs on my Mac Mini with this
