| Get my pies outta the oven!  |
My HP LaserJet 1020 is old and started jamming up bad each time I try to print so I'm going to trash it and get something new. This time around I'd like to get color printing too and not just B&W so what do you all recommend? The small Brother lasers look good both from a features and price perspective over the HP's these days? I'd like: Color printing WiFi connectivity Ability to print something from an iPhone Thanks! NO INKJETS | ||

I have a Brother laser (not color, though) and it's been nothing but solid. I bought it through Amazon, and it will automatically re-order toner when it gets low!

I’ve been using a Canon Color imageCLASS MF634Cdw (1475C005) All-in-One, Wireless, Duplex Color Laser Printer for a little over 2years now and no problems. Was $310 from Amazon when I bought it, not sure if still a current model What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

Why a laser vs inkjet? Before you answer, low cost color lasers are expensive media (ink). I understand the chap inkjets carts are expensive as well and they dry up. If you are a heavy user then by all means but not a entry level model. May I suggest an Epson EcoTank printer. They do not use carts! Very economical printing and good quality to boot. | |||

I have the Brother 3170 color laser printer. It’s great but not small—-if size matters a B&W Brother laser printer is also great. I would (and have) buy another Brother laser printer in a second. Has Wi-Fi printing, double-sided printing. However, I think it is not found on AirPrint. Let me see. Yeah, not recognized even standing next to the printer. Looked up the newer 3270 on Amazon: $180 for a color laser with all those features!! Yes per the top reviewer it does print via AirPrint, so printing from your iPhone should be easy. Looks smaller than the 3170. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

Brother, choose your model. They work well, are reliable and the consumables aren't crazy expensive. I prefer laser to inkjet, just feel the print is sharper. --------------------------------------- Life Member NRA “If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

I'm also thinking of a printer.... I found this thread helpful. https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...350075254#6350075254 I think I'll get something that allows me to scan documents. Not sure if I need the fax option - seems like faxes are almost a thing of the past. Speak softly and carry a | |||

Because I have NEVER had good luck with any inkjet printer in the past 22 years of owning computers. They dry out, the refills are a total rip-off scam. I will never, ever buy one again. | |||

I've had an HP laserjetpro 200 MFP all in one color laser for at least 4 years now. I print around 1000-1500 pages a year. It works well and doesn't miss a beat. Toner cartridges last a very long time. | |||

Brother HL-L2350DW would be my choice. I have an older Brother laser printer and it's been absolutely solid for close to 15 years. | |||

Brother, all day, every day. Monochrome or LED color. I hesitated on the color because OEM toner is expensive, but the aftermarket stuff has good reviews and is very reasonable. My mono is an HL2270DW, my new LED Color is a HL3230CDW and I'm pleased as punch with both of them. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

I hear ya on the drying out part. Low end color lasers are generally not very economical on why I recommended the Eco Tank ~ which does not use cartridges ~ the primary reason ink jets dry out. YMMV  | |||

I have a Brother HL-3180CDW that's printed my invoices for about 4 years now. I'm very pleased with it. | |||

We have quite a few Brother B/W laser printers & have been pretty trouble free. Only a few color Brother printers, most of our full color are HP. Toner is the $$$ part of those. The B/W toner isn't bad, comparatively. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||
