Love my Brother black and white laser printer.
It is important to point out that it isn't the brand that makes it good, it is the fact that it is laser.
I used to have a Brother "multi function center" printer/scanner/photocopier/fax that used inkjet and it was pure asshole design. Wasting expensive ink just by remaining plugged in and refusing to do anything if one cartridge was low on ink (but was actually still half full)
But if I had to single out a brand that should absolutely be avoided for printers it is HP. They do asshole DRM to a whole new level. They bricked a brand new ink cartridge because I didn't put it in properly at first.
Now I have a laser printer and the nightmare is finally over.
FYI, Brother seem to be acting a little shady in the last couple of years.
It doesn't surprise me, I feel like I'm navigating a labarynth trying to reset the drum/toner count on my brother printer. It feels like they have the framework in place to make laser just as bad as inkjet brands.
