Been using an old HP Laser printer for like forever and it still works pretty well. Havent had a single problem with it
That's the key
Brother just has the most recent ones, but if you can find an old laser the brand almost doesn't matter.
Most of those old HP lasers were also office behemoths that, inflation adjusted, cost over $5000. They caused all sorts of problems in an office environment--the printer in Office Space was basically about those--but they work great for small family use.
I only ditched my 5si because Windows stopped shipping drivers. Could have hacked it, but I figured if there weren't drivers, people would slowly get rid of them, and the replacement toner market would disappear.
Same. Mine's 11+ years old, flawless. Even if it finally shits the bed, I can probably get a refurb kit for a few bucks.
