I have had one of these (slightly older model) for 15 years. It does not work as well as it once did, but for home use it's good enough. I had to replace the developer a few years ago, but it was never quite the same since. BIll On Sun, Jun 7, 2020 at 10:51 PM Jeffrey Golas via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
I literally Just got the Brother MFC-3770cdw. Prints fine so far, and scanner works fairly fast. Also have it hooked up scanning to a nas. It did seem to take a while printing via airprint, but I had a power outage that I think goofed up something on my wifi, so not sure if it was the printer or my wifi.
Downside is the firmware looks like it was written by a first year comp sci student, very crude compared to an HP, but it works.

I appreciate everyone's advice, experience and suggestions on a color laser printer. Because of the higher cost I decided to split the cost with my brother and sister. So now we all want an all-in-one printer, scanner, copier and not just a printer-only. So I need suggestions on a color laser all-in-one. It seems those who responded to my last e-mail recommended HP, Brother, or Samsung. I didn't hear an opinion about Canon.
Consumer reports recommend HP, Brother and Canon. Here is the list that Consumer Reports rates highly: Brother MFC-L8900CDW Canon Color imageCLASS MF644Cdw Canon imageCLASS MF642Cdw Brother MFC-L3750CDW HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw Brother MFC-L3710CW HP Color Laser MFP 178nw Canon Color imageCLASS MF743Cdw Canon imageCLASS MF733Cdw HP Color LaserJet Pro M283fdw HP Color laserJet Pro MFP M180nw
Any recommendations on any of these?

I bought a small cheap B&W laser in 2010, still going strong and consumables are cheap if you go for the non Samsung replacements. My test for the printer when I first got it was to print the manuals for a Tektronix 7854. The only gripe I have is the paper tray is smaller then I would like but for less then $70 new, can?t complain.
Wow, can't complain about that at all! I've always been impressed by most of Samsung's products. There are exceptions, but they generally make good stuff.
But you can?t go wrong with a big HP either, especially one with 11x17 capability, great for printing out schematics.
That's very handy indeed. :)
