Brother HL-2270DW Compact Laser Printer with Wireless Networking and Duplex

Having owned both Inkjet and Laser printers, I have to say I like the laser one better. The Laser printer, in the long run, would save you a ton of money. The reason? Ink for Inkjet printer dry up over time even when you're not using it. On the other hand, my old HP Laserjet 1200 Series printer that I have still printing and shows no sign of running of ink after 5 years of using it. I think it would eventually. I didn't want to buy the toner for the HP since it is now old and does not have Wireless connection. That is the reason why I got the Brother HL-2270DW. It got Wired and wireless connection as well as USB. It also support Auto Duplexing (printing on 2 sides of the page automatically. This is a great little laser. I have used it a couple of times and the printing speed is a lot faster than my old HP. I'm still using my HP until it runs out of ink :-)

Amazon.com has the Brother Printer HL2270DW for $99.99 + Free Shipping the last time I checked. Click on this link to check it out.

  1. Thanks for your comments! I have not used other laser printers so I'm not sure. The best way would be to talk to someone from Office Depot/Best Buy or similar to see if they know of any.
