New to me HP laserjet M254dw color on win 8.1 and Mint Cinnamon 20. Connected via USB3. Oldest firmware (2017/05)(yay!)(page count 47 so far on orig starter cartridges)
I have heard (don't ask me where) that letting it shut off, or shutting it off will cause unnecessary wear and tear (during turn-on, I guess). I found last night that if I leave my laptop in sleep mode, it will keep the printer from powering off, else if I shut off my laptop, printer will power off (after 8 hours per setting). So I definitely have the choice.
Also, while I'm here, comments re compatible toner for this printer? (GPC, Jarbo, CMYBabee, etc)
Sig since I can't post sig yet
