Common wisdom has been any Brother printer (for the past 20 years maybe). I have one and love it compared to my previous HPs.
What I like:
- Build quality and the low price, the thing is huge and weighs 22kg and I paid only 100 EUR for a new one
- Availability of cheap third party toner cartridges
What I do not like:
- Every toner cartridge must include a circuit board that needs to be replaced together with the cartridge. This increases toner cart replacement price by ~4 EUR
- Third party toner quality varies a lot even from the same seller it's hard to find a cheap supplier with constantly good quality
- After 7 years and about 3k pages printed, a white vertical line / streak started to show up on the printed pages
Based on recommendations here I guess my next printer will be from Brother.
It was caught up in the HP driver security cert error of late last month (which makes me suspicious that it wasn’t an accident, but a reinstall of Apple drivers fixed it).
