My first laser printer was an HP Laser Jet MP5 that my boss threw away because ‘it was noisy’. Workhorse beast printed easily another 15,000 pages before I replaced it with a color laser from Brother. That beast (purchased in 2013) has gone through 3 toner carts for CYMK, and printed high res great output in glorious color for over a decade now.
Moral of the story: HP wasn’t always garbage, but they certainly are today; Brother makes a damn good printer.
Love finding me. I’m not particularly feely and didn’t have examples of loving couples growing up. Did not see that coming, wasn’t on the horizon at all. Got lucky.
