Brother laser printers are great.
I got mine almost a decade ago and I've replaced the toner once, never had issues with it.
It just works
Haven't used mine for 2 years, but it worked with the first toner for over a decade now.
Another vote for the Brother monochrome laser printer. My LH-23200 has needed toner once since 2017, and a four pack of toner from Brother costs about $30.
Thank you, brother. Which brand do you recommend?
I’ve heard the lady who fucked up HP has been hired to the board of Brother, though. So who knows how long this sort of thing will last.
I’m not finding anyone who fits that description here or here so hopefully that’s not correct.
Second! I love my brother
Yup.
A few years ago I needed to print something for a job I was applying for and I had three inkjets, none of which worked. Replacement ink wasn't even a guaranteed solution and was going to cost three figures anyway...so I started looking into whether there was a better option.
Ended up buying a Brother color laser printer. A bit spendy, but now when I need to print something after not printing for months, I just literally tell it to print and it gets it exactly right, first try, every time.
Zero regrets.
