Brother seems to be the only printer brand left that actually functions as intended.

It smells like a market opportunity

I bought one years ago that still functions on $15 high yield toner that lasts us a year.

Recently bought one for work for $199 (has an ADF) since the HPs stopped printing at all. It was the type that have the long ink cartridges for like $70. Had an employee that needed to print something quick from his phone for work and he couldnโ€™t believe how easy and quick it printed compared to the HP. I think his quote was, โ€œdamn, that was awesome.โ€

Brother is the only printer that just works anymore.

Except for the Brother printer everyone has.
