All Brother all the time.
For now at least yes. I would have said the same thing about HP 25years ago.
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.
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.
Same model here. Love it!

Brother. Mine, a laser monochrome, is 12 years old and works perfectly fine

We went with their black and white MFC which also does double sided ADF scanning… and I recently had a bit of FOMO when a colour MFC went on sale (ofc, for like three-four times the price, and at that price I might as well just print colour at a local print shop).
Brother monochrome laser
Also Fuck Epson Ecotank series.
I’ve heard good things about it. What’s your take?
The “catch pads” are where they screw you over. They have to be changed regularly. My wife has had to change the pads more than buy new ink. And then you need a $10 code to reset the counter ON TOP of the pad.
Yes, this 100%. Had to bin my old Epson due to the waste ink firmware counter - despite taking the printer apart and redirecting the tank tube into a user emptyable container!
IMO Any “eco tank” inkjet printer with waste ink pads, instead of a user replaceable waste ink tank, is complete garbage

Also here to shill Brother laser printers
Brother had one for almost a decade now and not 1 issue
Ink jet printers are a cartel and a scam
At work we sell our customers (small but high volume printing) regular brozher laser printers.
For s/w: HL-L5100DN or MFC-L5750D(W or N? Don’t remember)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
Brother.
