I’m gonna get myself one and see. I’m leaning towards the comments are just authentic users excited about a quality product. I never got an uncanny valley feeling from them.

I’m just so sick of the inkjet racket and this latest HP move is the last straw.

I've written before about my laser Brother. It's not an excelent quality product, just a regular printer that doesn't extort you. And sadly this is all it takes to put a printer brand as a top value for your money, and to make a buyer happy.

This is exactly what I thought, so I have a brand new £55 Brother laser printer sitting at home, ready to be opened and tested!

I did have a cheapo Samsung laser printer many years ago, and it was great. Not sure why I reverted to bloody inkjets after that (I have two once quite expensive inkjets sitting in the corner here, sworn off).

I've had a Brother 5150D for over 10 years without problems. Some issues with Windows drivers over the years, but pretending to be a recent Brother model has always worked.
