I see these constant horror stories of having to pay to print, silly ink prices, having to log onto a web server etc.
Is there no company that just makes a printer that works, does what it’s supposed to, and doesn’t play bizarre games?
I think a printer might be useful in my life right now… but, I’m actually just scared.
I’ve had a Brother toner printer/scanner for a couple of years now with NO issues. USB or wifi printing & scanning, reasonable toner price and no issues with genuine ink or anything else.
Same. Toner is the way. Pennies per print and can last for years when not in use. A little more upfront cost but that’s the only downside.
I’ve had a Brother MFC for 15+ years
Same here. I switched to Brother (laser) about 5 years ago. The day I bought it, I went online and ordered a replacement toner cartridge. Whenever it runs out, I just swap the cartridges and order a new replacement. No more trips to the overpriced OfficeStaplesDepotMax or whatever. Life is good.
Same. I outfitted a medium sized business with brother laser printers when I was the IT monkey and had very few issues. Bought a multifunction brother laser for home a few years back and it was the best decision ever. Brother lasers are today what HP laserjets we’re back in the 90’s.
