r/BuyItForLife on Reddit: Best (Brother) printer / scanner combo? Ideally laser.
February 11, 2024 -

I know we're all skeptical about Wirecutter, and I'm doubly skeptical that all of their top printer, laser printer, and scanner suggestions are HP. I've had enough personal experience with HP and seen enough comments here to know... never again.

The main mention here in BIFL always appears to be Brother. I know printers aren't really BIFL by definition, but I was hoping for some recommendations.

I don't need to print often, but I don't want a printer that's going to be a PITA with ink replacements or drying out. I was thinking of a laser printer this time around, and ideally one that can also scan documents.

Are most of my options going to be black and white only? Does anyone have a personal recommendation?

May 4, 2025 - Had a 3-in-1 Brother laser before that, so looking at nearing 20 years of dumping ink printers. ... I have a colour Brother laser which does double sided printing and scanning - it wasn't very costly and it just works. I'm using the wireless connection and all the Macs here (even the older Mac Pro 5,1 and 6,1) all connected immediately without fuss.

Best printer 2025: just buy a Brother laser printer, the winner is clear, middle finger in the air | The Verge
April 2, 2025 - For years, we’ve been telling you this on The Vergecast, in reviews, and probably yelling it into the void: if you need a printer for documents – shipping labels, homework, tax forms, whatever paper detritus still haunts your digital life – you shouldn’t buy an inkjet. You should buy a monochrome Brother laser printer. Yeah, I know. It’s not exciting. It’s not sleek. It doesn’t have a fancy touchscreen that plays videos (why would you want that?). It probably won’t match your minimalist desk aesthetic. It’s the sensible sedan of the tech world. And that’s precisely why it’s the best.
