HP printers are shit, I don't want one even if you pay me. Buy a office-class B&W laser from Brother and never worry again.

I bought a brother color laser printer during lockdown, 4 years and it's never had an issue, and I have yet to change the cartridges. I'll never go back to inkjet.

Yeah, if you don't print enough to justify a laser printer then you probably don't need a printer at all. Just go to the library when you want to print something.

Only suckers buy inkjets.

I have a Brother laser printer that I got 25 years ago that I use so little it's still on the promo cartridge and it works fine any time I need it.

Meanwhile, an ink jet my old job got a few years ago fatally clogged itself after just a few weeks of normal use.

Sadly Brother went to the dark side this year:

Even when blocking third party cartridges, they are still infinitely better than all the bullshit HP is pulling.

That story was debunked: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/brother-denies-using-firmware-updates-to-brick-printers-with-third-party-ink/
