      This is what i did.

      9 years ago. Still runs like new. Great little thing!

      Its 100% wireless though. But connects to my router and then everything on the LAN can print

        Might be worth it if you want network printing. Usb only is fine, but it’s worth paying a little extra to get Ethernet if that’s what you want. Mdns/avahi/bonjour make things easy for sure. Wifi printers always suck, I’d avoid that. I’ve had nothing but good results with my brother b&w on wired Ethernet.

        At all three tiers (low, mid, and high end), out of those three available brands, you always want brother.
