A question for the #hivemind - I need a #printer for home, is the consensus still "Just get a Brother"?
I'm considering the Brother HL-L2400DW. It seems to have excellent reviews, and I can't see any mention of toner fuckery or anything like with HP.
Ordered one.
It won't be here in time to print what I need right now, but I can get that printed elsewhere.
The new printer has arrived. I had it wired in and printing in 5 minutes. Full automatic duplex. It just works.
My only wish is for a clunky mains switch that actually turn it off, rather than what I suspect is a soft-power switch.
@dtl i am rather fond of just cutting in an inline 10A switch....
@kincaid Yeah, I can see that happening. For now I just pulled the kettle lead out the back.
@dtl
When I had a Brother I had a discussion with their tech support after it used a full cartridge of ink in a cleaning cycle. TL:DR leave it on at the mains all the time. IIRC every 24 hours it does some sort of cleaning cycle to keep the heads clean (supposedly). I now have an Epson Eco printer with refillable ink reservoirs
