I have been so much happier since I got my Brother MFC-L2740DW. I was up late at night trying to print out homework for grad school a few years ago and was infuriated at my useless inkjet lacking drivers for Windows 10, and my "tank" Laserjet 4000 that I got off Craigslist a decade ago randomly jamming and unable to find the right drivers for it.

Now, I have a printer that just sits there quietly all day, sips power and outputs paper with letters on it when I need it. It's awesome. My only complaint is that their switching power supply circuitry inside outputs an audible whine.

Question for thread though: what should I do with my old printers? My inkjet, a Canon Pixma MP680, I still have in its original box but my Brother can scan as well, so I assume I should take this to an electronics recycler?

The LaserJet on the other hand, I have kitted out with a shitload of RAM, a JetDirect card and a duplexer. I could recycle it, but it still "mostly" works and might be worth it to a shop that specializes in maintaining the things for companies. I don't want to deal with shipping the thing either because it's loving massive, and Craigslist here is full of econo-inkjets. Ideas?
