Might not be the best place to ask, but nowhere else reliant seemed alive.

My old laser printer has given up the ghost. What are people's recommendations on a replacement. As far as I'm aware, Brother are about the only company both making reasonably priced printers and not playing stupid games. Beyond that though, I'm not up to date on what's good and what's not.

Requirements.

  • Colour laser.

  • WiFi

  • Works with both windows and Linux

  • No need for scanner etc.

  • CD/ID card printing nice, but not required.

  • Photo quality nice, but not required (we have an ink sublimation printer for photos).

I'm UK based, which can mess with availability.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve had decent results with my Brother MFC-L3750CDW. This one has a scanner because my use case is a bit different, but it definitely ticks the color laser, wifi, and Windows/Linux boxes. I wouldn’t necessarily use it to print photos, not because they’re bad, but because the colors tend to show up dark.

    It's also in the same range as the one I'm now looking at getting, which is a good sign.

    My current printer has a scanner. It's not actually been used for at least 5 years. I think I can get away without one.
