> For personal use, the brother laser devices <$100.

Rarely do I fanboy over a piece of electronic device, but this rings so incredibly true. I get thousands of pages out of my Brother laser printer per toner cartridge, it duplexes, the wireless just works. If you absolutely need a printer, get the sub-$100 brother laser printer.

Likewise. Mine is possibly the most reliable piece of hardware I have ever owned. It does exactly what I expect it to do, all the time.
May I inquiry your Brother printer model ?
looks under desk HL-2270DW, but that version appears to be an older model now (I've had it for about 5 years). Check out the newer version on Amazon for $80, its the version I bought for my Grandmother and it is just as reliable.

Thanks, old is fine, maybe I'll snipe one on craigslist, even though, very few brother laser printers get back on the market ;)
I have a 2340DW. I think I paid $90 for it.

It's great... works with AirPrint, Google CloudPrint and standard printer protocols. I think you can even FTP jobs to it.
