this is the most devastating review of anything i’ve ever seen

Scary Whitta @garywhitta· 1d:

Imagine if your printer was also your car. That’s what owning a Tesla is like.

    The equivalent of an old brother mono laser would be a Lada or a Toyota hilux. It may not be pretty, but it’s simple and it will run forever.

    We got rid of the old hl2030 in favor of a fancy color printer/scanner. Now we have neither.

      Your words cut deep.

      Agreed entirely. I’m a big evangelist for Brother’s business class black and white laser printers. I bought my hl2050 twenty years ago and I’ve only had to replace the toner once. It just works.

        I still regret the decision to this day. Best little printer there ever was.
