There’s so many models and companies these days and hard to know what’s quality and refills won’t cost an arm and a leg, or what long term will last at least half a decade. Previously went with Inkjet printers, but I’m done with them since I rarely print photos. TIA for any recommendations and thoughts on your experiences on this!

Not HP. I wouldn't accept an HP printer unless you paid me more than $20 and didn't force me to use it.

If you wanted me to use it, I'd charge you no less than $200 per month.

Fuck HP with a rusty Buick.

Rough but I get where you’re headed, had nothing but experiences with them in the past.

Any hope for a recommendation in my price range? 🙏

Brother laser, they're workhorses and toner lasts ages. Can also buy off brand toners.

I have a Brother MFCL2750DW Monochrome All-in-One Wireless Laser Printer at work and love it. I got a second one for the house too, I wish I had gotten one of them in color though. The last time I purchased toner was in 2021. I do not do a lot of printing.

Looks exactly like what I’m looking for but tad more than I can afford at the moment. 😣 Any models more in my budget?

[–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Agreed. It’s a great printer, but usually runs around $299, so it’s $100 out of their price range.

When i purchased mine it was under $200. My first one was $189.99, the second one 3 months later was $199.99. i did not look at current prices, only my orders.

Damn. Another reminder prices are ridiculous these days... 😣
