If I had my druthers, all my printers would be Brothers.

Hey Brother, hire me as an adman. I can write jingles!

Give me a nickel, Brother, Can you spare a di-heim?!

Beat me to it. DO NOT BUY HP PRODUCTS ANYMORE! Brother is a fantastic alternative and if I’m not mistaken sometimes cheaper, and if not cheaper, it’s at least far better quality.

It's fucking nuts how much better they are. I bought a monochrome Brother printer a few years ago for like 250$. I'm still on the starter toner that came with it. I am never going back to ink. Gone are the days of not being able to print in black cause I'm low on cyan. Fuck HP.
