    Brother printer is probably the best brand if you want it to “just work” but still have support.

    I paid the premium price for a color laser printer scanner combo - about $450 I think - seven years ago and I haven’t paid a cent since. It’s done everything just fine.

      Adding to this. Consider what your printing habits are. For me 99% of what I print are documents, and even those are rare. A $110 black & white Brother laser printer was enough to meet my demands. Been running on the original toner for a good 5 years.

      I have heard so many different people praising Brother printers and coincidentally my dad got one from his work that they were just getting rid of because they were upgrading. Cannot say how good it is yet since we’ve only printed a couple of pages, but I’m excited because of all the praise I have heard.

        When I was still doing IT support as a job, I hated every single printer I ever had to deal with. This was until I dealt with my first Brother. I ended up buying one for myself eventually and it’s the only brand I’ll ever recommend.

      I have one, and they are great. But wasn’t there just a scandal about a recent firmware update that applied DRM to ink?

          It’s good cause you can’t drm ink. And the bottles can be refilled my biggest concern right now is. Can it be used without Wi-Fi and just via usb cable and I’m looking into the linux support for it
