I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    Yep, I bought a Brother laser printer for $120 a few years ago. I don’t use it super often, but it’s been reliable and easy to use whenever I need it. I’ve never had to replace the toner. It just works.

      Is it good for someone who constantly needs to print documents

        This is just anecdotal, but I work in IT and I can’t recall a brother printer ever giving me a headache. HP is obviously the worst.

          HP is obviously the worst.

          HP is special kind of printers shitcompany. They probably spent years on doing market research to understand what people NOT want, so they can do exactly that. 😂

          HP used to make rock solid laser printers back in the late 90s and 00s. Shame what they turned into.

        A laser printer is best no matter if you print a lot or a little.

        Brother will generally be an excellent choice. While HP will generally be probably the worst choice you can make.

        Edit:

        Just to be clear, laser is better if you print a little, because the laser cartridge doesn’t dry, and can last a decade. While even if you don’t print a lot, you will need to replace ink cartridges regularly, because they dry out.

        If you print a lot, the laser printer is both more reliable, faster and cheaper to use.

          I love my color laser. (Again, props to Brother). It takes off-brand toner with no fuss and hasn’t failed to print yet.

          I don’t know that I would print photos with it, but it’s more than sufficient for everyday documents and even game manuals.

        I printed a ton of documents in university with a black and white brother laser printer. All my notes were always printed, for example.

        Still have it over a decade later.

        The best. Color laser is pricey but not many people would need that.
