I'm nae the voice o' the darkened thistle, but th' darkened thistle cannae bear the sight o' our Bonnie Prince Bernie nae mair.
I've looked at all the megathreads but their OPs have inaccurate information and I'm scared to talk to them. I want a printer that:

1. Prints black and white
2. Prints fast
3. Can connect to my phone or laptop with bluetooth. No bullshit.
4. Costs less than $150

buy this. close thread

then shop around for off-brand compatible toner. it will last forever so if you get 2 youll probably be set for 2 forevers
i bought some off meritline and its still working and i dont even know if meritline is still a site

Yes I agree. Get a Brother laser printer. I have one that has to be 8 years old now and still works fine. Never buy a loving inkjet printer again!

My cheap Brother laser printer was like $50 on sale. I don't know if it connects to Bluetooth but it's wireless and is connected to my wireless router. Can print anything from my phone / laptop pretty easily.

I use a brother laser printer because I only print one paper every 3 months or so and toner lasts a long time compared to regular ink that dries out in 6 months. I'm still using the starter toner my printer came with

Yep, buy a small brother with wifi. the mono laser brother range is fucken bulletproof. Don't get a colour one though, the colour fusers always bubble and mark the paper within 2 years.

get the cheapest Brother laser printer you can find. be sure to get Brother brand because it is the most common type of office printer and you can find generic toner cartrages very easily. Avoid Canon laser printers, they are more rare and the cartridges will be harder to find.

if you even think about inkjet hit yourself in the head

they all do

if you put the same piece of paper through the printer like 15 times you can see the yellow dots show up, it's pretty neat

My gf has an 8 year old Brother Inkjet printer and it still works perfectly. Connects to the wifi network and to Windows and Apple computers with no issues and no horrible software required. It doesn't have Bluetooth or phone connectivity but maybe current models do. Either way it's been amazingly painless in comparison to the HP trash I've subjected myself to over the years

All ice cream is now for all beings, no matter how many legs.


Hp m402n it uses tiner so no need to worry about dried ink and it's cheap af per page, comes with a standard sized toner cart I think the last one I bought was 125 on sale and they go on sale all the time.

I think standard price is $200, I support a dozen or so of these the oldest is 6 years old none have had problems even at 200k pages.

Oh you want bluetooth? That never works, but you plug it into your network and print over wifi. Anything with Bluetooth printing is poo poo.

I'll second the brother recommendation. Whenever I need something printed, I just email it and he brings it over. Works with Bluetooth too.

While our printer doesn't have the wireless stuff can confirm. Our Brother has been trucking along for over 12 years.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how Bluetooth printing is something desirable. Like, something you presumably are willing to pay more to have included.
