Brother Laser Printer Recommendations

Stop buying HP! Get a Brother laser printer.

Hands down a Brother... not an ink jet but laser. It's the only one I've never had problems with.

You probably print a lot if an ink cartridge service is cost effective for you.I’ve had 2 b&w laser printers my entire life, both Brother (after getting annoyed with Epson inkjet printers that were “affordable” in high school). The first got me through engineering school printing maybe 300+ pages a year, so like 2000 pages. Did not replace the toner once and don’t recall any meaningful problems. That printer stayed with my mom and works to this day for her odds and ends (maybe has had one

Ugh, same. Bought a Brother laser scanner/printer that has been a delight. I don't print much, but it does its job stashed away in my closet through wifi. I can even print from my phone. I've used maybe 3 toners in about 10 years and it still works perfectly.Would also buy a new Brother without even considering other brands. Sad to hear it might be going downhill as well.

My hp inkjet has empty cartridges after 14 print jobs of a page or two since the last refill. The firmware on this one is so crappy that it's turned me off of hp printers for good. (And I've had them since the deskwriter era).Lasers, on the other hand. Cheap and effective. I've got a Brother that's normally $80 at NewEgg/Amazon. The toner lasts 20% longer than advertised, it's fast, and it's never asked me to accept an EULA. I'd buy another one, but I d

what a shame. Been using Brother HL-2170w printer for 15 years without any problem. And it was less than $120 new.

Brother seems to have picked up where HP left off about a decade ago. I bought my wife one of the low-end lasers when she started law & grad school. She ran through about 10k pages/year (she'd even print front/back/upside down to "save" on paper) which was about 1.5 cartridges. It doesn't jam, it doesn't make noise except when printing, although it does take a few seconds to warm up from sleep.I think we've been on the same cartridge since s

Anything Brother makes. My father has a 10 year old black and white laser printer from them and it hasn't had an issue.I have the HL-L3280CDW and its been solid.

I have a Brother b/w laser printer from 2012. It cost around 60 EUR. Never had any problems with it. It's build like a tank, has 4 status LEDs, and one button. I buy a new off-brand toner every 2 years or so, and that's it.Before this printer I went through multiple hp and Epson inkjet models. They were all horrible and usually broken after 2-3 years.

Same here. I use a Brother wireless B/W laser, which is awesome. It cost me approx USD 300 up front but run cost is comparably lower. And you don’t have to deal with the dubious practices of HP.I actually bought the printer after 5 years of pain with an HP inkjet printer. I had ordered two new cartridges for it, supposedly original HP. After plugging them in, the printer tells me they are not “genuine”. Speaking to support of the cartridge distributer, I’m told I need to rub the chip at
