If you don’t need an all-in-one printer, then the Brother HL-L2350DW is great. The best thing about it is that it prints. These accolades are really the bare minimum you’d expect from a device called a “printer”, but that’s where we are in the world of consumer electronics.

I made the mistake of recommending Brother printers without identifying the exact version. The Brother printer my coworker bought took a page from HP’d bullshit. He returned it after a week.

Imo - Look for ones that don’t need internet or just perform 1 extremely specific thing. Or in my case, I printing a lot of b&w docs as cheap as possible.

My recommendation would be the brother laser printer HL-L2300D from 2014. The 2350DW looks similar and is more recent from 2021 and might be okay too.
