I agree with these comments about brother. For example, we have a
monochrome laser that we used a lot a few years ago. We started getting
a message to change the toner. Google says to block the little holes on
the side of the cartridge to fool the printer into thinking that it is
not out of toner. That was years ago and that thing still prints (we
have a very low volume of monochrome prints). The copy is a little
broken now (not too much for our work), but it still prints. We do have
a spare toner cartridge to use when it finally quits.
Also agree with the comments about HP, Samsung and I would add the same
comment about Canon. We bought 2 expensive Canon printers, same day,
same vendor. The ADF (auto document feed) quit about 1 month after the
warrantee on both printers. (Funny coincidence). That brother still
works perfectly and we use it for all our scanning when we don't need color.

I've never had an issue where I've let Windows do the drivers for a Brother

printer, it's always just worked.
Now a Samsung color laser, that's another story. Until they came out with
the Samsung universal driver, we had tons of problems with the drivers.

Fred, I second not only the recommendation for Brother color laser printers
but also the bloatware issue. The trick is to never install the printer
from the accompanying CD! Instead, go to their support site
(http://support.brother.com/), find the printer, and download not the
"Full
Driver & Software Package" but the just the "Printer Driver" instead.
You'll get a clean install without all the other troublesome software.
By the way, never let Windows automatically install the drivers for a
Brother printer itself; it's never come out right in my experience. Always
install the drivers manually.

Thanks Fred!
The one challenge I have had with Brother was that they LOVE to install
software! Their printers come with enough software to rival HP for "number
of utilities installed." Are their consumables reasonably priced?
Anyone else had good times with a mid-range color laser? $300 to $600 price
range?

Recently bought a Brother HL-L8350CDW

for my daughter's and my wife's businesses. They seem to like it. No
trouble so far, but that's been my experience with Brother printers, no
trouble.

Need one for medium volume printing, nothing over 8.5 x 11" stock.
Not wanting ink-jet...expensive supplies.
Not wanting Lexmark...multiple bad experiences with product.
Thanks for all opinions!
