I looked into upgrading the ancient HP LaserJet 1200 in our home office because it is 20+ years old and slow to print some black and white documents with embedded graphics. This printer is due for it's 3rd or 4th toner cartridge.
I briefly thought moving from this network-attached printer (via USB-A to Airport Express) to a newer AirPrint compatible HP laser printer might be nice. Read about the HP printer issues (ink drm, ink subscriptions, reliability problems, etc) and decided another third-party toner cartridge for the LJ 1200 was the right choice. Glad to wait for this old HP to print our few hundred pages per year, considering the alternative! :)
Thanks to everyone for sharing their Brother recommendations. Will look into a light-duty BW laser printer from Brother if the LJ 1200 ever gives up the ghost.

Generated Summary
The article discusses the fraudulent activities of Manish Lachwani at his start-up, HeadSpin. Lachwani inflated revenue, falsely claimed major clients, and misused company funds for stock trades. Despite no CFO or audits, investors overlooked these issues, leading to a $1.1 billion valuation. Lachwani, who pleaded guilty to fraud, exemplifies a trend in Silicon Valley of rapid growth overshadowing proper oversight. The case reflects a broader pattern of negligence in start-up governance, with similar instances in other companies. Following Lachwani's departure, HeadSpin's valuation has significantly decreased.
