I have only good things to say about Brother printers. My old laser printer (actually a bigger printer/scanner/copier all-in-one with the option to autonomously scan to email) died just last year after 18? years of service. If I were to buy a printer today, I'd choose Brother again, but I just don't do much printing these days, and it's just a 2 min walk to Staples from my place where they do all kinds of printing, scanning, and photo services.

This is what I've ended up doing. We print maybe... 3-4 times a year? So I just walk down to a convenience store where they have a big multi copier/scanner/printer you can use for 10-20 cents a page. It also does photo printing so I don't have to choose between buying a laser or ink printer.
The only worry is you know the internal harddrives in those things are holding a copy of every thing that's gone through them, and god knows how they're going to be decommissioned...
Brother makes printers here with giant refillable ink tanks, instead of cartridges. Still on the ink that came with the printer when I bought it almost two years ago. On HP I would've had to replace the cartridge every few months for the same usage.
We had a HP with replaceable ink tanks before. You still had to replace not just the ink tanks, but the whole printing head assembly because it would still clog up every half year anyway.
