There’s so many models and companies these days and hard to know what’s quality and refills won’t cost an arm and a leg, or what long term will last at least half a decade. Previously went with Inkjet printers, but I’m done with them since I rarely print photos. TIA for any recommendations and thoughts on your experiences on this!

Any hope for a recommendation in my price range? 🙏

This thing is as reliable as you can get with reloadable parts that you can get from 3rd party vendors.
Every additional bell and whistle is an additional potential point of failure, so this thing is pretty lightweight and lacks any frills.
Rivalarrival ( @Rivalarrival@lemmy.today ) English14•9 months agoNot HP. I wouldn’t accept an HP printer unless you paid me more than $20 and didn’t force me to use it.
If you wanted me to use it, I’d charge you no less than $200 per month.
Fuck HP with a rusty Buick.
Rough but I get where you’re headed, had nothing but experiences with them in the past.

nocturne ( @nokturne213@sopuli.xyz ) 9•9 months agoI have a Brother MFCL2750DW Monochrome All-in-One Wireless Laser Printer at work and love it. I got a second one for the house too, I wish I had gotten one of them in color though. The last time I purchased toner was in 2021. I do not do a lot of printing.
Looks exactly like what I’m looking for but tad more than I can afford at the moment. 😣 Any models more in my budget?
nocturne ( @nokturne213@sopuli.xyz ) 2•9 months agoThere is a refurbished on Amazon for $240 ATM. The Brother HL-L2460DW is $160 at Staples. The Brother HL-L2405W is $120, seems the cheaper does not have duplex (guessing that is the ability to print both sides of the paper). Brother DCP-L2640DW is $200, unsure what the difference between that and mine is.
tyler ( @tyler@programming.dev ) 7•9 months agoLike everyone says. Brother. But just buy it used. You don’t need a new one. People are recommending them for a reason. They last.
StrawberryPigtails ( @StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org ) 6•9 months agoJust get a Brother. Any of them are fine.
Extras ( @Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today ) 3•9 months agoCan only share my thoughts on the matter. Got myself a brother HL-L2320D a couple of years back and I’m not unhappy with it but I would avoid it if I could time travel. Really wish it had a dedicated Ethernet port and a scanner and I urge you to look for those features, especially since scanning apps are going the subscription route nowadays. My use case is probably different from yours but I didn’t print in color at all in the past idk 5 years now so you might save money on getting a monochrome one but really its up to you for that part.
