It’s the first printer I’ve owned that didn’t make me want to throw it off my balcony

My previous Brother laser lasted me over 14 years using only the original toner provided inside the box. I merely had to shake it once a year to redistribute the toner inside it.
Even if I had to buy another genuine cartridge during that 12 year run, it would have been worth it. I had to get another printer simply because that specific model had been discontinued for years, and I couldn’t find a replacement drum.
Not bad for a $109 printer.
HP cartridges barely last a month, costs $40 each, and if you don’t use it for a couple of weeks, they no longer work.
Had to buy an HP inkjet to make custom printed shirts for an event; never again.
That thing ended costing upwards of $200 for 2 months of use.
I’ll buy Brother and their genuine laser toner cartridges anytime.

Brother. Strong, reliable, durable, in my own experience.

The ones that have a network jack, and WiFi that you can turn off are OK too!

Happy brother user here. We had a hp and the bastard had connection troubles then ended up only printing blank pages. Never again.

Get a laser printer not an inkjet printer
Inkjet printers will crap out if not used constantly due to the ink lines getting blocked with dry ink
I’ve got a brother laser printer and it works great

In addition to the Brotherly love, we have multiple Samsung ML-1865W laser printers that have been consistently reliable for years with no janky printing software and I have even used the $6 or whatever bottle of loose powder to refill although the regular cartridges are more convenient.
Going laser and not HP is the most important parts.

I had a Brother black and white laser (I think a HL1240?) for almost 10 years and then we started having to print a ton of education related stuff for our kid and colour made sense, so I got the closest thing that I could to the colour one that I use at work which ended up being a DCPL3551CDW.
Printing a little in Windows and Linux, but more often from apps on my Android phone and my partners iPhone.
I absolutely hate printers, but they have been fine.

Everyone talking about Brother but does the point still stands for the newer models?

I have a Brother HL-L3230CDW. It has been a horse and has quickly become my most prized possession of all things that I own. It takes anyone’s toner and produces quality without question. It works with my various Linux, Macs, Windows, and Android devices without hesitation and minimal fuss to get setup.
So that’s what I would recommend. Is a good bit of coin up front but in my opinion, it has paid for itself in cheaper long run TCO and sanity in that it just fucking works.

At work we sell our customers (small but high volume printing) regular brozher laser printers.
For s/w: HL-L5100DN or MFC-L5750D(W or N? Don’t remember)
