Color-Laser-Printer: Xerox Workcentre 6515DNI
After my 15-year-old Konica Minolta magicolor 2530DL finally died, I was on the hunt for a new color laser printer. This post outlines my requirements and compares the top contenders, ultimately leading to my choice of the Xerox Workcentre 6515DNI.
I finally gave up my 15-year-old color laser printer, the Konica magicolor 2530DL, due to a failed firmware update. I cannot find out how to reset the firmware via a USB-Stick since most links now go to 404, and the DL model from 2003 does not have a parallel port anymore. USB and Ethernet are dead. Help is appreciated!

Yes, a deep dive into Python. And I don’t like it. As well as PHP. Do Rust. Trust me!
