It feels surreal just printing stuff without guilt or drama. 10/10 highly recommend.

Brother is the way to go. They just work.
Careful, they used to, older models are still primo, but don’t get a new one, company decided they would go full ink monopoly, anti repair and everything

well this is just great, literally yesterday I upgraded to a new Brother printer after 14 years with my old HP laser printer. I may have to consider returning but damn I’m so happy finally having automatic duplex printing and scanning. Honestly the amount they are pushing a subscription toner service had me kinda skeptical already, just seemed really weird from a company everyone has been touting as so consumer friendly
Yeah printer at work suddenly decided it would not work unless there was oem brother cartridge in it. It was printing fine with third party ink the day before.
I recommended Brother to everyone and now BAM ! No more good company out there.
Oh no, just got one similar to OP’s but the MFC series with extra copy/scan features after a great experience with the old equivalent Brother model I had for about 20 years with near zero problems!
I realized the new model was surprisingly cheap and with features I always wanted on the old one (which was now starting to show its age in a few ways), so I made the upgrade. Hope I won’t regret it.
Oh, brother
Hell yeah Brother!
Get sticker paper, now anything you want is a sticker.
lol. The wife has a cricut. The reason I’m just now getting a laser printer is because we needed an inkjet so she could make her custom stickers.
Weird, I bought the sticker paper years before I got my laser printer because it said it was for ink jet. The ink jet stickers always smudged or ran. Once I got a laser printer, I tried printing a sticker and it worked great. No smudging or running.
Protip - if it’s a networked printer, fuck with it’s DNS/IP gateway settings or block it at your firewall. Brother was accused of pushing firmware that locks out 3rd party cartridges .
My network gateway is actually 10.0.0.1 but I configured the printer’s gateway for 10.0.0.254 - that way any attempts to leave the 10.0.0.0/24 network will fail.
My laser printer also doesn’t fit on my shelves haha. I feel like we are slightly tweaked dimensional variants of each other.
It wouldn’t be so bad if the power cord didn’t stick straight out the back
They make 90° power cables.
They even sell them.
Wifi died on mine, so no malware updates for me woohoo!
Should’ve bought a measuring tape first lmao.
My Brother in Brother. Welcome. You purchased the dullest printer. It is glorious

My wife got that exact printer free through work. She was very confused about my excitement
F’n Legend!
I have to check if this is a dodgy printer. Any opinions from anybody I’d like to hear.
Don’t know about the printer but that pile of paper next to it is covered with creepy crawlies.
Any opinions about the printer*****
Well, it’s not a particularly good-looking printer, that’s all I can say.
I just recently setup my Brother printer with Guix Linux. I was able to use
