There’s so many models and companies these days and hard to know what’s quality and refills won’t cost an arm and a leg, or what long term will last at least half a decade. Previously went with Inkjet printers, but I’m done with them since I rarely print photos. TIA for any recommendations and thoughts on your experiences on this!
Brother, brother.
Seconded. I have one of the compact Brother laser printers and it works nicely
Just read this article and don’t worry about it
Any hope for a recommendation in my price range? 🙏
Brother printers are easily within 100-200.

Are you even looking at them?
Brother Printer RHLL2320D Compact Laser Printer with Duplex Printing (Renewed) https://a.co/d/cw90xah
This thing is as reliable as you can get with reloadable parts that you can get from 3rd party vendors.
Every additional bell and whistle is an additional potential point of failure, so this thing is pretty lightweight and lacks any frills.
Brother laser, they’re workhorses and toner lasts ages. Can also buy off brand toners.
If you live near a college, check their surplus or recycling. I got a brother printer for the low price of fixing a paper jam.
Not HP. I wouldn’t accept an HP printer unless you paid me more than $20 and didn’t force me to use it.
If you wanted me to use it, I’d charge you no less than $200 per month.
Fuck HP with a rusty Buick.
Rough but I get where you’re headed, had nothing but experiences with them in the past.
Any Brother Laser printer really.
I have a Brother MFCL2750DW Monochrome All-in-One Wireless Laser Printer at work and love it. I got a second one for the house too, I wish I had gotten one of them in color though. The last time I purchased toner was in 2021. I do not do a lot of printing.
Looks exactly like what I’m looking for but tad more than I can afford at the moment. 😣 Any models more in my budget?
There are so many out in the wild, I bet you could pick up a used Brother laser printer off FB Marketplace. As many others have said…any one will do. I also have one, they’re great.
There is a refurbished on Amazon for $240 ATM. The Brother HL-L2460DW is $160 at Staples. The Brother HL-L2405W is $120, seems the cheaper does not have duplex (guessing that is the ability to print both sides of the paper). Brother DCP-L2640DW is $200, unsure what the difference between that and mine is.
Agreed. It’s a great printer, but usually runs around $299, so it’s $100 out of their price range.
When i purchased mine it was under $200. My first one was $189.99, the second one 3 months later was $199.99. i did not look at current prices, only my orders.
Damn. Another reminder prices are ridiculous these days… 😣
Sorry, I don’t have 100 recommendations.
