Damn 20 years?! That's a commendable vouch for Brother.
My brother hl-2070n from like, 2006-2007 is still going strong. Drivers aren't in macOS anymore, but the generic one works fine. I think I've only replaced the toner once, maybe twice since i got it. They are excellent printers, fuck hp.
HP small business printers are almost as bad as their home printers.
Around 2006, I started at a company it had a couple of small business MFPs. I spent more time fixing the printers then they spent printing on them. I ended up talking them into a couple of Enterprise class MFPs They were fantastic but we spent several grand on printers. It's kind of a shame we don't print so much, but we scan to email and fax a lot and it was worth it to have something that just works all the time.
I kind of regret not going with brother at this point though we probably could have gotten away much cheaper.
