Ours is an Epson Workforce 840. We can get refilled cartridges pretty easily but even with genuine Epson cartridges the photo print quality is poor. And it keeps clogging, I got a cleaner kit and it seems to work pretty well (takes overnight a couple times to unclog) but then a couple months lat

I used my brother HL-645 from 1993 till the mid 2000s, replaced the drum once, finally replaced the printer because parallel ports were OUT! I would buy a brother again, am thinking about going color laser. Anyone have any model recommendations? Old and cheap preferred, of course! Russell Court
