    You just want a Brother laser jet black and white printer

    It’s no bullshit and will work forever

      I’m with the others recommending Brother. They aren’t perfect, but they’re the least bad.

      Running about a 10 year old MFC 9349 CDW here, only changed the black toner so far. Used a cartridge reset truck I found on YouTube to get more life out of the original black before that.

      Scans to network nicely, does 2 sided prints etc.

      Go for a Brother.

      I’ve owned a HL-3070cw for a decade (I think, close to if not) - I’ve changed the toner carts 4 times, it’s printed high res color daily for pennies. Shit just works, and quality isn’t bad at all. Works from any device on the network - phones tablets desktops laptops - practically zero network admin/setup, it just fucking works for everyone. Cannot recommend enough.

      Which is fine until Grandma wants to print out all the selfies and other photos our Grand kids send her. Then, that black and white anything won’t cut it. And I can’t afford a photo quality laser printer…

          She has multiple digital frames. But she still wants to print some out. Grandma’s will Grandma…
