Thanks for this, good to know. I’ve had nothing but problems with my HP and had many a day of wanting to schwing it out the window.

Any particular brand out there that’s still known for decent build quality? I feel wary of them all now.

Brother printers are still very decent and most importantly, not DRM ridden.

Would you say they're...A bro?

I have two oki mc363's (office and home).

Cost about $600, 6 years ago. Weighs about 30kg, must have a cast iron chassis or something.

Rock solid, great printer scanner in every way. Wouldn't change a thing.

My parents have an okidata microline 82 that still prints. One of the dots hits a little light these days.

They also have a 1994 HP LaserJet 4 plus that is still chugging along. Back from when HP made decent printers.

I’ve had a Brother laser printer for years now, never given me any issues.

Funny. I was about to mention my brother laser toner printer. Have two. They are black and white but tanks

from what I've heard brother makes pretty solid laser printers

Except their printers are good awful to get hold of without the connect X here and there stuff.
Give my my god damn driver without all the other shit to connect via USB to my god damn scanner!
