  This. Every brother laser printer I’ve ever owned has worked perfectly aside from the occasional cartridge/etc change.

  Brother inkjet really aren’t better than HP. I have one and the scanner doesn’t work if the ink is out. And it reports no ink waaaay too early. I can trick it into printing longer and almost double the life of the cartridges.

  Maybe brother laser jet is better? I’m sure hp laser is too though

    HP laser is still markedly worse than Brother laser. Much more expensive toner, harder to find and use off-brands, and (in my experience) much higher failure rates.

    In general, toner is more robust than inkjet, but also HP is worse than Brother.

  Don’t bother, buy Brother.
