To be fair, when are printers not broken?

Buy a brother LaserJet and never worry again.

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 ?

[–] AtmaJnana@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

What are you doing, step-printer!?

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Technically it does. Just not through PC.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

That's right....

[–] foxglove@feddit.de 4 points 8 months ago

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.
