Sure. It could be the printer, but 3 outta 4 Printers that had the same issue repeatedly is more likely to be the drivers fault. Then everybody and there mother suggests getting a Brother printer. That's one brand out of how many? I don't own a Brother printer. That's the only brand you ever see Linux enthusiasts recommend. And then so top it off with Raspberry Pi. I shouldn't have to hook up a Raspberry Pi to use my fucking printer. You can try to convince me that CUPS is improved, but my own experience is completely the opposite. I will shit on it every time.
