If Brother Laser Printers didn't exist I'd be more worried. I don't know what people that need color printing do anymore.

  > my brother laser printer is such a piece of shit. Mine has been going for nearly a decade with no issues to report and almost no one has anything bad to say about them, so I'm curious what issues you had?

    At a guess he didn't buy it a decade ago...

    One day it just stopped working on the network. Tried to use it direct via usb and that didn’t work either. Tried to factory reset it and that didn’t work either. It’s just a brick now. It was great when it worked, though. Got two years out of it.

Brother (and Oki) LED Laser printers exist in color version as well.

I bought a Brother color laser printer. Love it. It can't print photos well (at least I assume, I haven't tried) but I'm generally not doing that at home anyway. For printng a large amount of simple flyers it's cheaper and faster than an inkjet and perfectly passable. I sometimes print labels and other things that are fine as long as I use laser media. It has no problem accepting third party toner cartridges I buy on Amazon. Works great over Wi-Fi from pretty much all my devices. Never buying HP again, even if it weren't for this.

  Yeah, same. It's been a great choice.

Recently moved my mechanic to a Brother B&W laser, their HP SOHO laser was hot garbage. Never expected to see that with HP's laser line.

My Brother color laser printer is great, but it does not print photos as well as an ink jet. Instead of maintaining an ink jet printer, now I just print them at Walgreens or CVS.

Brother has color lasers FWIW. If you're talking about photo printing IMO you go up to the professional class of printer or you just send out your printing to a photo printing establishment and let them deal with the mess.
