The Verge’s recommendation of Brother Printers
Yes, they literally wrote that article as a meme. It’s been a joke on the VergeCast for years that their printer recommendation is, “Get the cheapest Brother printer that meets your needs (duplex, scanner, colour, etc). You’ll almost certainly be happy with it.” In your case, even if you don’t want it, you’ll probably get a scanner, but it doesn’t add that much to the price.
That only makes sense if the “older generation” is the silent/greatest generation because 95% of people I see playing pickle ball are baby boomers.
