My inkjet hp started to throw error codes at me last month.

I bought a refurbished brother laser printer and that thing is awesome

You can do even better buying plain old used instead of refurbished.

I got a pair of MFC-9340CDWs -- with duplex and color -- off Craigslist for like $50 each a couple of years ago (one to use, and one as a spare). Even if I have to buy a new fuser relatively soon because the ones in both of them are almost worn out, it's still an incredible deal.

Yeah, their refurbs are great if you can get one before they sell out. That’s how I scored my first Brother for $99. Thing is a champ at home.

Yeah I acted quick, instead of 249 new it was $179 refurbished
