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.

Damn for a color one at that... That's amazing

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
