    +1 for Brother HL printers. 2 toner bars got me through 3 years of nursing school.
    If I need something printed in color, I’ll just let a professional do it.

      And it’s extremely easy. Upload the PDF, wait for your mail. Thanks. The last time I needed something printed in colour was years ago, and the money and hassle I saved myself by buying a monochrome laser printer isn’t offset by this one print job I had to pay for.

        I have even gone one step further I don’t have a printer at all. If I want anything printed, I will either do it when I’m at the office or get it printed by a stationary store for a small fee (like .05 USD per A4 page in local currency where I live).

        I can count with one hand how many times I needed hard copies in the past couple of years.

            I hate multifunction printers. They try to do everything but end up sucking at doing everything.

            I ended up getting a separate, high speed Fujitsu scanner with built in auto file naming and OCR and it’s been fantastic. I can just scan in all the things and shred them. Less paperwork cluttering the place.

            That’s rough. Good luck mate. I wish you’ll come an emotionally lighter and happier person from the other side.

      They’ve got color laser printers too, just bought a HL-L3290CDW last week to replace my roommate’s cheap Canon printer that I got tired troubleshooting every time we needed to print something. Absolute monster of a print device: color laser printer+scanner+copier+fax machine and a seamless printing process to boot.
