I suspect the one you mentioned isn't sold any more. I found a

Brother HL-1212W (the W means wireless) I found on ebay.co.uk for
44.99+4.99 pounds refurbished, 59.99+5.99 and upwards new, so they're
still around.

Brother HL-L2300D which is a basic monochrome laser. There's a
Samsung with WIFI that costs less but I hear brother a lot in the
context of printers. Both it and the Samsung have XP drivers.

Wifi not needed for you - I was assuming you and your wife were in the
same house when I said you could share a wifi printer! Though handy if
your XP machine is a portable.

The Samsung printer division was bought by HP.
As to why, we can only guess.

Sounds like you have a guess - care to share?

Brother printers tend to have Linux drivers available,
which is why you might see them discussed a bit more.
