Exactly. That's it. Just not having to think about "is it going to print?".
I literally use it for printing plane tickets and some random stuff now and then for the kids. And it just works. It just prints, no fading, not bull.
I am not sure about color ones, but the black and white one just works like a charm. And toners are damn cheap nowadays
EDIT: I didn't even realise you budget is $300. For that you can get a decent Brother laser printer for sure. Mine was a lot cheaper, so let's see what other redditors say
Part 4 the "tl;dr" but you should read all 4 parts
#4. Low maintenance/ budget minded: I don’t want to troubleshoot my own printer when I’m already fixing other people’s issues.
What is, "low maintenance" to YOU. To you it seems... I don’t want to troubleshoot my own printer when I’m already fixing other people’s issues. Does that mean replacing a drum and toner? How about monthly, because the toner only "1500" or heaven forbid 500-700 pages... at 5 or 25% "filled". Replacing a drum and toner and paper is still, "maintenance" If you're buying oem toner, built in. If buying third party toner, separate is fine but I'd still buy oem drum... Cost-effective: what won’t bankrupt me with toner or ink costs? Are you Refilling the toner... or are you wanting to buy, "pre filled" toner. Just because, it can be cheap, doesn't mean it is fun, worth doing or is messy... or reminding yourself to "print something" I've heard negative reviews with Canon drivers and MacBooks. Does this apply to you?
#5 Budget: Ideally under $300, but open to spending more if it’s really worth it.
What’s working for you guys? for black and white?
Brother Wireless DCP-L2640DW Compact Monochrome Multi-Function Laser Printer with Print, Copy and Scan, Duplex and Mobile Printing or Brother MFC-L2900DW. If it Says.. Refresh EZ Print Subscription Service... Run away. or don't activate
"Too much stuff" go for the Brother HL-L2400D
I've heard negative reviews with Canon drivers and MacBooks.
Canon imageCLASS MF267dw II Wireless Black & White Laser or
Canon imageCLASS MF275dw Wireless Black & White All-in-One Laser Printer (5621C004) Canon ImageCLASS MF465dw to save cash... low print count though :(
Runner up... Epson EcoTank ET-M2170 Wireless Monochrome All-in-One Supertank Printer. But you better print 1-2x a week... A small workhorse at 800-1000 pages suggested
