I have a Brother HL-2270DW for the rare printing that I do need to do at home. Has been great so far.

I have this printer hidden in a corner. You would never notice it is there until it receives a job over the wifi. Simple and just works.

I have a ~ 10-year-old HL-2040 that's somehow still running. I use it for printing throw-away stuff like notes or recipes. It was maybe $30. It predates even the toner cartridge caps being welded on, so refills are relatively painless and $4.

I also have this printer and would highly recommend it. It's cheap and it works great.

Yup. There's a reason it's been Amazon's best-selling laser printer for... at least a year, I think.

Chinese printnet! XD

EDIT:

Stupid comment... Brother Industries is actually a Japanese company. Learn something new every day.
