Anyone in the market for a printer: Get a Brother (printer, not human)
I love how every thread or post about printers ends up in people just recommending a Brother.
I really hope they keep going doing what they are doing.
We replaced our HP OfficeJet with a Brother this year. I don't even know what we were thinking getting the HP 5 years ago or so, it was gross overkill for us. But of all the things it could do, it was most consistent with printing like shit and jamming paper. Part of the problem was that we just print too infrequently, but having to replace overpriced cartridges from HP didn't help. You also have to install apps for wireless printing (or if there's a workaround we didn't bother with it).
The Brother is a color laser printer and it's perfect for us. No apps needed, super quiet and hassle-free (there have been no paper jams or transmission errors), and the print quality is crisp as hell.
But also get a Brother (human). They can be handy.
The downside is that if it's a brand new one, it may take a while to become useful.
Good point. Thankfully theres a thriving second-hand Brother market.
This is starting to sound a little too slavery-y...
And here I was thinking of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program lol
Especially if they own a printer.
not sure if Buster Bluth or Hulk Hogan
This is what I ended up doing. Not specifically because of HP but inkjet printers in general. I don’t print all too much anymore since college so inkjet would sit and clog up, and become unusable. Brother laser printer though? No issue.
Also get a laser printer. They cost more but are much better suited to infrequent use, with an ink jet the ink will dry out if you don't use it, a laser printer can be left alone for ling periods. A black and white laser printer is about as expensive as a colour ink jet. I really like my brother b&w laserprinter.
