  Brother makes fantastic color laser printers too. I’ve had mine for 11 years, replaced the toner carts on it twice. They are NOT cheap - $200ish for cymk - but you’ll get years of prints from them. It’s not a photoprinter, but the resolution on it is great. Handles the whole family’s print work, easy to access, no driver bullshit, just works out of the box.

    I would rather pay a little bit more for toner if it works. I am serously thinking about color laser printer when my printer stops wokring. I was looking at some brother color laser printer for around 250€ which is not a lof if this stuff works. Photo quality isn’t important for me, so I thinks this could work for us.

      Mine did not, not sure what’s out there 13 years later. TBH, I have a flatbed scanner I used when my dad died (scanning photos) then when my wife’s grandmother died (again) and then when my mom died (again scanning photos). Basically, it stays unplugged until unfortunate phone calls come in the middle of the night. If I need to ‘scan’ a doc my phone does a fine job.

      Some brother printers have a fax and and scanner built in. It’s a feeder though, not a flatbed. Could matter if you’re trying to scan photos instead of documents.

        I think the feeder is not a problem. We mostly scan documents. I will look into those brother printers when the one we currently use stops working
