To be fair, when are printers not broken?
Buy a brother LaserJet and never worry again.
Brother gang, rise up
Brothers, even.
Our Brother sewing machine is fantastic. It doesn't print though
You know, we also have a very sturdily built Brother sewing machine and I never noticed that they're the same company that made our printer.
Maybe it's a sibling company ?
Technically it does. Just not through PC.
That's right....
Amen, Brother.
100%. I got the Brother HL-2370DW and it served me well, but it’s a black-and-white laser printer and sometimes I needed to print in color. I got fed up dealing with inkjet printers so I got the Brother HL-3270CDW. It’s great at printing off props and visual aids for my weekly tabletop game and so on.
It’s not technically “perfect” - sometimes a Mac will fail to print to them wirelessly and say they printed fine (and that seems to be an issue on the Mac side) and I think we average maybe one paper jam per year - but it’s as close to perfect as I’ve ever gotten with a printer.
You have no idea how much I regret buying a Canon Pixmass printer on offer for 50€. I should have just sucked it up and coughed up 100 more to get a damn Brother laser printer.
Well,at least now I get to replace ink cartridges every week or so and I get to print my ass on photographic paper.
Live and learn I guess.
I haven't had a broken printer in years!
My local library branch is walking distance and has free printing, so I got rid of my printer.
Awesome!
Last time I tried to print from a library, it was print-to-pdf wasn't an easy thing, and laptops were rare and underpowered. So printing from a different computer was hard if that computer didn't have the same programs.
I'm glad things have gotten better and you are able to use the library!
