    What is the cost of this wonderful machine?

    • jv on 05/10/2021 - 22:26
      +12

      I'm fairly sure I paid around $60 for mine a while back…

      • payless69 on 11/10/2021 - 16:02

        Full retail used to be $99. And I got one for free and now passed it on to my biggest enemy!
        Prefer drawer printers, less mucking around.

  • douglasac10 on 05/10/2021 - 22:26

    Pretty sure this is the usual price for this machine.

    In saying that - they're cheap to feed, with 1000 page toners at ~$18 each.

    We bought about a half dozen last year for some people to work from home with, most of them have done over 10,000 pages and they haven't missed a beat.

    • jv on 05/10/2021 - 22:28

        you must be pretty toned then

      • berko_max on 05/10/2021 - 23:05

        Where did you get them from? We’ve had our printer for almost 2 years so waiting for the message any day now.

          $12.80 for 1, $19 for 2, $32 for 4……

          • whey4000 on 06/10/2021 - 00:34

            @jv: Do you need to change the chip on these generic toners to the chip on the original toner that came with the printer to get it to work?

            • jv on 06/10/2021 - 00:40
              +1

              @whey4000: Nope, they work fine…

              Previous ones I bought years ago from another ebay seller worked fine too.

    • douglasac10 on 05/10/2021 - 22:36
      +31

      Also, other thing you will want to do: switch them to Toner Continue mode. This ignores the chip on the cartridge so that they don't stop printing when the chip says its empty, rather you can keep printing until the cartridge is actually empty.

      • [Deactivated] on 07/10/2021 - 03:08

        Also when toner begins to streak, remove the cartridge and shake it back and forth horizontally half a dozen times then replace. I have a similar Brother printer and doing that not only restored print quality, but the low toner warning disappeared.

  • ButterYourMuffin on 05/10/2021 - 22:33

    So this does not come with toner?

    • douglasac10 on 05/10/2021 - 22:34

      It comes with a starter toner, about 500-700 pages.

          This is a laser printer, not inject shit and you don't know what you are talking about.

          The generic Brother toner cartridges are like $15 that gives about 2,200-2,500 prints.

            @No ONE:

            not inject shit

            I have an epson ecotank too, that runs almost as cheap as this laser using generic toner, and i get full colour photos…

            • mickey on 06/10/2021 - 02:35

              @jv: What's the model number of your Epson EcoTank printer? Also, can you please tell me where do you get your refill ink bottles from?

              • jv on 06/10/2021 - 09:34
                +1

                @mickey: ET-2750

                I just use the Epson genuine inks. They're only about $17 per bottle and last me about 18 months each.

            • No ONE on 06/10/2021 - 08:34

              @jv: Yet those high yield inkjet printers costs $350+ the least.

              With inkjet following is true:
              Low cost printer = high running cost (ink) and low yield prints
              High cost printer = low running cost (ink) moderate to high yield prints

            @No ONE: On point, inkjet is disgusting, get 20 prints max on the starter. The guy you responded to is absolutely a broken wagon wheel just repeating what he heard on facebook.

          • resisting the urge on 07/10/2021 - 14:46

            @No ONE: Thank you for your kind retort, but the assertion is misguided.

            People throw out cheap printers, because they are used to the toners costing $100-$200 each (and yes, ink tanks marketed at insane prices), and don't even contemplate keeping it in comparison to getting a spangly new one.

            The fact that Brother and others now have some more reasonable consumables hasn't updated in most minds.

            Plenty of these, and duplex+network versions are available at your nearest kerbside cleanup, many with toner and no faults at all

          most common resolution is to dump it into landfill and buy a new one.

        Officeworks Alexandria (NSW) didn't have theis requirement when I printed a few months ago. Just had to email the document to some public email address. Cost me 10 cents for 10 minutes of his time (in questions). I didn't really like the idea of sending personal documents to some random email address though.

    • peterpeterpumpkin on 06/10/2021 - 04:14

      My only advice is never use an HP MFC for scanning photos. My older model, at least, made photo scans unusable for viewing on screens, even at max resolution. Apparently Epson does OK scans but I never tried it.

  • whitfords on 06/10/2021 - 04:13

    FYI for the iOS users out there: no AirPrint support.

    • Sydney-bargainhunter on 06/10/2021 - 07:42

      Yeah using this with a mac sucks, you have to use this really crappy Brother software which only allows you to print PDFs and you can't alter any settings, just print exactly how the PDF is set up. So you need to convert everything to PDF before printing and if you only want say page 10 to print, you have to extract that into its own PDF as you can't use normal print settings. Lucky it's wireless so you can easily swap to a secondary PC to do your printing.

      Like other Brother mono lasers this printer is fairly good for easy jobs and toner is super cheap off those eBay sellers, WiFi connection never seems to disconnect.

      Problems include:
      - Mac support as noted above
      - trying to print more than say about 40 pages, it overheats and will have to slow to a crawl (1 page every few seconds), and starts curling the paper up on the sides pretty bad as the heat rises.
      - Duplex mode is mostly unusable. It's manual which is fine but the problem is if paper is not new/perfectly straight, it just catches/blocks constantly so you have to keep taking the thing apart to get out stuck/ripped paper in paper jams.
      - I think this is typical to all Brother printers, but the printer's opinion on the 'toner' life, is always wildly off, like it throws up the 'won't print, need more toner' flashing lights WAY too early, like 50% ink left early. You then can't print anything until you either replace the toner or override it. There's a way to override this by pressing random button combinations, but you have to do it every time and it's just such a PITA - like I'll decide when to stop using a toner drum thank you..

    If you only need to print occasionally, i.e. assignments, reports, job apps - I've found that it's way easier and cheaper to just use a local library (or Officeworks). These just take up too much space and are a waste of materials in this day and age.

    I have the previous model and it's a ripper of a little printer. So cheap to run, ink never dries out. If it went back to $60 I'd think about buying a 2nd one and put in in storage just incase mine dies. I don't think I could go back to the crap the other brands dish out.

      If you are printing in high volume, go with laser colour. Very expensive though

      Low volume, go to officeworks and have mono laser at home + buy generic toners off ebay.
