I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

Okay so I see all this talk about ducky printers but if I want one that's not trying to guck me over which would that be?

[-] snobben@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago

Brother printers are fantastic. They cost a but more upfront but actually work

[-] CarnivorousCouch@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Yep, I bought a Brother laser printer for $120 a few years ago. I don't use it super often, but it's been reliable and easy to use whenever I need it. I've never had to replace the toner. It just works.

Is it good for someone who constantly needs to print documents

[-] VelociCatTurd@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

This is just anecdotal, but I work in IT and I can’t recall a brother printer ever giving me a headache. HP is obviously the worst.

HP is obviously the worst.

HP is special kind of printers shitcompany. They probably spent years on doing market research to understand what people NOT want, so they can do exactly that. 😂

HP used to make rock solid laser printers back in the late 90s and 00s. Shame what they turned into.

[-] stranger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I recently had an HP printer to set up for a client (IT as well), and it only had USB 2.0 and Ethernet interfaces. The printer needed an internet connection and activation online before it would even let you print over USB, and of course the Ethernet port was dead and wouldn't connect, so now it's just a shitty white brick with HP stamped on it. At least they were able to return but how does that make sense in practice?

makes me wonder, how are they still in business doing that?

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

A laser printer is best no matter if you print a lot or a little.

Brother will generally be an excellent choice. While HP will generally be probably the worst choice you can make.

As long as you don’t need color a laser printer is way better for printing documents.

[-] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I love my color laser. (Again, props to Brother). It takes off-brand toner with no fuss and hasn't failed to print yet.

I don't know that I would print photos with it, but it's more than sufficient for everyday documents and even game manuals.

[-] Cornpop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The best. Color laser is pricey but not many people would need that.

[-] ebits21@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I printed a ton of documents in university with a black and white brother laser printer. All my notes were always printed, for example.

Still have it over a decade later.
