Has anyone gotten a laser printer recently, which worked out of the

Yes. After getting fed up with a Brother printer which was supposed to work
but did not, I just got a Canon MF741C-743C. There is a non-supported but
available from Canon Linux driver, but I didn't need it — it shows up and
works as "driverless". This lets me set print quality, duplexing, etc., and
even shows me ink levels. No fuss at all.
I haven't figured out how to scan from Fedora Workstation, but I can scan
*from* the printer to an SMB share, so that's good enough for most scanning
use I have.
