I have a Canon Color LaserJet scanner/copier/printer for documents, and a large format Canon inkjet photo printer. Aftermarket toner, aftermarket ink, and they work flawlessly. I did a ton of research for both. I would never buy an HP printer.

I did the same when I purchased my Samsung color laser. I specifically excluded HP....then Samsung went and sold their entire damn printer division to HP. I refuse to use the Samsung drivers now because I suspect HP would push firmware into the unit blocked non-HP owned toner.

No regrets on my Brother laser printer! Didn't even consider HP, they've been trash for ages.

Brother has gone pretty down hill over the past 5-10 years.
