BTW, I’ve had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.

    Laser printers are great, althought I’ve got me a Pantum because I don’t anticipate printing more than one page a month.

        I’ve looked into them when buying a new printer. They’re the cheapest laser you can buy, but the refills include the drums, which makes them way more expensive. They’re also extremely small for a laser.

        I ended up buying an epson ecotank, which is a lot slower than a laser, but it’s still on the original ink after 800+ pages and it’s never been problematic even if I leave it for a couple months without printing. Doesn’t seem to clog up like others have reported

        I don’t have a Brother to compare it to, but it works just fine to print and scan documents. I got it set up on wifi because I wanted to shove it into a corner where it won’t get in the way, and it’s working perfectly fine.

        Although their android app sucks.

          Thanks for sharing the recommendation as well as your thoughts on it.

          That is the kind of printer I am looking for as well. :-)
