      And yet, somehow still better than HP.

      I can’t stand that company (their laptops are shite as well, except for maybe some of the Omens).

          I believe their laser printers should be of better quality than the inkjets.

            I’ll have to take your word for it because I’ve had a xerox laser for 2 years now that works flawlessly and the software isn’t nearly as abhorrent as brother’s

              I have two Brother laser printers, an older one and a newer one. Both still work great. When I see people recommending Brother online it’s mainly the laser printers. Maybe they’re just made differently from the inkjet printers.

              I’m glad you are having good experience with a Xerox and I would like to know how they compare to Brother ones on a price point. Do they cost a lot more? Also good to know about the software. I’ve personally only used my printers with the default drivers that came with Linux.

              P.S. I also have a Kyocera laser printer which I’ve never had any issues with.

                In my experience, an equivalent Xerox machine is always more expensive. But, the software is extremely lightweight and also customizable, although I run it on a windows machine. The print quality is second to none as well.
