The best printer decision I ever made was to quit buying disposable inkjets and purchase a cheap Brother laser printer instead.
I've had it for about 8 years now and it's still going strong. I don't print much (which is why the inkjets kept clogging up stopped working), but about 2000 pages later, it's only on its second toner cartridge and will probably not run out for years.
I'm kind of hoping that it breaks so I can replace it with a color laser, but it's been extremely reliable.
- mingabunga 10y agoAgree. Struggled with an Epson business inkjet for years and gained some pleasure from smashing it up in the end. Replaced with a Brother color laser and it was ridiculously easy to setup (I was expecting some pain) and works really nicely.
- djfergus 10y agoFor what its worth, the cheap Brother printers use a binary blob driver for Linux which only has x86 drivers. So don't get caught thinking you can use your ARM Raspberry Pi or Synology NAS as a low power print server...
- rsync 10y agoYes. We bought a "Brother Hl-l2360dw" and have been so happily surprised. Finally a printer that actually works and doesn't make me want to kill myself (and others) every time I interface with it. Don't get an all-in-one, don't get an inkjet and don't get color. Following those rules will allow you to actually print things stress free.
