          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 couldn’t believe how easy and quick it printed compared to the HP. I think his quote was, “damn, that was awesome.

          Brother is the only printer that just works anymore.

        Yeah, The Verge apparently is fed up with printers

      Thank you this looks great, but I also want to be able to scan and copy documents on flatbed as sometimes they are connected or can’t go into the feeder for other reasons.

        Brother also offers many MFPs; the MFC-L5700 for instance, has a feeder and flatbed scanner

          This one looks very good. I actually was thinking of MFC-L8895CDW which I saw on costco.com, but then I saw MFC-L8900CDW which supposedly is identical to the former and MFC-L8905CDW which costs as much as the one in Costco and was wondering why Costco version costs as much as 8905 and got into a rabbit hole researching what’s the difference between them. And ended up not buying anything so far.

          Perhaps those are overkill though.
