Yeah, I tell everyone to just buy a brother laser and leave it at that. They may cost a little bit more up front and they don't do photos (who really prints photos at home anyway). But they just work.. Which is saying a LOT for printers.. God I hate printers.

Last printer I allowed in the house was a Brother. Used it until the drum died, just wasn't worth my time or money to replace a drum in a $99 printer.

How do you submit your surveillance reports now?

They are directly debited from the memory.

Yeah, you probably got enough use out of it that it paid for that $99 unless you got a dud. Then again, their "wifi" printers in ~2006-2008 were a massive PITA.

Yes. Got several years out of it. When I used it last, I hadn't printed anything useful for probably a year or more. Decided it wasn't worth the time to fix or even get a new one.
