    I’ve been happy with my Brother printer. If you don’t need an inkjet printer, I highly recommend just getting a toner printer. The toner is significantly cheaper, for a significantly greater volume (at least it was the last time I had to buy some, which was ages ago).

    Did well with Brother laser printer. Canon was okay.

    I had setup a friend’s HP printer and noticed he was constantly switching to WiFi Direct in order to print. I did him the favor of connecting it to the AP, so he wouldn’t have to manually switch all the time.

    The moment it got online, the printer locked itself down and refused to continue print until he paid for a subscription service on the ink.

    Brother, my brother. My little HL1200 serves my needs nicely, is cheap to run with both genuine and third party toner, and the company isn’t run by a bunch of greedy pigs. Probably the only printer brand I’ll ever buy again. Fuck HP indeed.

    Edit: discovered Brother plays that game too

    I’ve had a Brother MFC-9330CDW for a long time and it’s been great. No driver updates in like 5 years but don’t really need updates when everything works. I moved away from buying official Brother toner several years and buy a budget brand off Amazon. Basically 4 toner carts for less than the price of one official Brother cart.

    Brother had one for almost a decade now and not 1 issue

    Ink jet printers are a cartel and a scam

    I love my HP printer. Always prints when I ask it to every few months, uses third party toner, 0 issues whole time I’ve had it. Of course it’s a laserjet from 2004 so it’s built a bit different. I wouldn’t recommend a new HP though lol.
