  Is it good for someone who constantly needs to print documents

    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.

      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?

    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.

      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.

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

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

    Still have it over a decade later.
