A Black and White Laser Printer for Your Office and Home!

It's not too often I find myself really impressed by a printer. Most are high maintenance machines that just suck through ink like a race car and cost you more money the longer you own it. That was before I found this gem of a printer for about $100, Brother HL-2270DW Compact Laser Printer with Wireless Networking and Duplex.

It has kept our whole office churning out pages without any hiccups at all for an entire year. It sips ink so sparingly we have yet to replace the large black toner cartridge. It helps the cartridge is massive in size when compared to the printer as the fewer times you have to replace it the more money you save. If you need to replace it,  the cost is very reasonable for about $45 found on amazon for a high yield cartridge, Brother TN450 High Yield Toner Cartridge - Retail Packaging - Black. I always recommend high yield over standard toner as the cost per page becomes lower the more you print.

Also, there is a toner saving setting when you log into the printer that can really extends the toner lifetime. We always like to keep a spare one next to the printer and I smile each time I see it, wondering how long it will be before we will need to use it.

It turns out I liked the printer so much that my wife and I now have one in our house. We print everything from taxes, to recipes, coupons and even photos. If your lucky enough to have a Netgear home router like this one, NETGEAR N750 Dual Band Wi-Fi Gigabit Router (WNDR4300), you can use the bundled software called Netgear Genie to turn it into an AirPrinter for iPhones and iPads.
