this is the most devastating review of anything i've ever seen
Scary Whitta @garywhitta· 1d:
Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.
You're viewing a single thread.
plot twist: It's a Brother monochrome laser printer.
The equivalent of an old brother mono laser would be a Lada or a Toyota hilux. It may not be pretty, but it's simple and it will run forever.
We got rid of the old hl2030 in favor of a fancy color printer/scanner. Now we have neither.

Your words cut deep.
Agreed entirely. I'm a big evangelist for Brother's business class black and white laser printers. I bought my hl2050 twenty years ago and I've only had to replace the toner once. It just works.

you monster! I love mine and I'll never part with it
I still regret the decision to this day. Best little printer there ever was.
Also maybe one of those OG land rovers Queen Elizabeth used to drive
I bought a brother printer / copier / scanner about 15 years ago. Still going strong, I replaced the ink once.
I bought it for $99.99
I still consider it the best money I've ever spent
Edit: $99 Canadian!
They are also indestructible. The brother monochrome that I have for my business is about 16 years old, last year a huge rock got thrown through our window and knocked it off the counter. Snapped the scanner cover back on, works like new.
Is there a story there?
Not really, and I genuinely wish I could say otherwise. It was some asshole kid who thought he got scammed on tattoo work because it costed more than $60.
The owner (big scary dude, the guy thay actually tattooed him) found out who he was (we had no idea who did it) and shook the shit out of his ass. Since then the kid has turned his life around and honestly is doing pretty good for himself. He still comes and gets work done every once in a while now.
Best printers.
I just bought one. Works instantly out of the box. One click "install" on Windows/Android/MacOS/Linux, and doesn't require any of their bullshit software.
Setup on Windows is as easy as going to
Printers & Scanners > Add device > Brother
Done.
Now I can print/scan/copy and my computer has no bloatware on it. It's wonderful.
