    I have a Brother black-and-white laser printer, and it is, in fact, evil. I commented about it in this thread in fact: it never prints when it’s asked to because its deep sleep is so deep that computers can’t communicate with it without the use of troubleshooting software. So it doesn’t fit the requirement of “prints without any problems”.

      If it is network connected, consider giving it a static IP in the router. I can imagine the computer being confused by the printer having a new IP since last time (can happen with automatic IP), when you try to print something.
