My old HP is not working right and it is very old. I am looking at
laser printers and have always favored HP. But, in saying that I am
open to any brand. I always get an all in one model since it does come
in handy. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
Every time this question comes up at work, the response is always the same:
to send the latest version of this article:
"After a full year of not thinking about printers, the best printer is still
whatever random Brother laser printer that's on sale."

My Brother MFC-L2740DW All-In-One Mono Laser (discontinued) is almost ten
years old and continues to serve me well. I am sure they have newer models
that are similar. It is on my WiFi network (as 192.168.0.42) and also serves
a Mac and a Windows PC.
Brother printers have been OK for small home loads so far, but HP would
be preferable.
Therefore:
- Toner cartridges contain not only toner, but also various rollers that
are renewed with each toner
- Drivers as PPD files, not a binary blob, all CPU architectures that
can run CUPS are supported
In my experience over the last 15 years, Brother printers cause more
problems in office environments than HP printers.
Best Regards
