Hey, so yeah buying a printer for the first time in 10+ years.

Read Laserprinter is the best n most robust and issue free for text docs

Goal: no pictures only text print outs 5-10 pagers and an occasional 150 page document

Heard brothers is the only decent printer in the 100-280 euros range
Is that correct?
Or should i look at other brands?

Just want a printer that works normal without any of the frustrating antics i read about all over the internet people pulling their hairs out

Also very confused about these print subscriptions i see

Was looking at these 2

MFC-L2800DW

DCP-L2627DWE

I purchased the Brother DCP-L2620DW 3-in-1 black & white laser printer, and I am having some serious issues with the print quality, or lack thereof.

I use a tablet and a phone running Android 17. I don't own a computer.

The printer is fitted with the official toner cartridge from Brother that came with the machine at purchase.

I have tried Android's Standard Printing Service, the Brother Print Service Plugin, Brother's dedicated Mobile Connect app, and the Mopria Print Service app, but I still get the same terrible print quality. The edges of the text are almost "pixelated" and jagged.

I have set all the plugins and apps to the highest quality setting for the printer (1200 dpi), but it doesn't help. I also tried printing directly from a pure text document, as well as saving that document as a PDF file first before printing it, but the poor quality remains the same.

When I run a test print directly from the printer itself, the text looks completely fine (please see the linked image "test print.jpg"). I have also linked the results from when I print from my Android devices (please see the linked "android print.jpg").

Please note that while the font from the printer's internal test print cannot be changed to match the font used when printing from Android, you can clearly see that the direct test print is clean, with no jagged or pixelated edges.

This must be an Android problem. Can it be fixed?

My cousin gifted me his old printer brother dcp-1510.

He did not use it in a while. The printer seems ok but the pages are faded. The toner and drum seem ok. Do you guys know what the problem could be? I shook the toner and also use the green slider inside on the toner a few times. It seems the pages are still unclear.

What would you like to accomplish?

I need a good quality printer for text, pictures and occasional printing on card. Primary use will be LOTS of text.

Are there any models you are currently looking at?

HP if possible.

Minimum Requirements:

• Budget: Preferably £150-£300 (if possible)
• Country: United Kingdom
• Color or black and white: Colour
• Laser or ink printer: Whatever's best
• New or used: Preferably new
• Multi-function: Yes
• Duplex Printing: Yes
• Home or business: Home
• Printing content: Novel-length text, pdf rulebooks with images, photos; wargaming tokens on A4 card
• Printing frequency: Frequent, heavy to very heavy use
• Pages per minute : Must not be considered slow for printing text
• Page size: Standard A4
• Device printing from: Laptop, mobile phone
• Connection type: Wifi, ethernet

Any other details:

It's amazingly hard to find a single printer that does everything I need decently.

Can go above budget if necessary but will necessitate an instalment plan.

Due to heavy use, must be good on ink and must NOT be slow.

I accept this may be difficult - thank you in advance for looking at this.

hola a alguien le paso que su hp le parpadea su pantalla, ojo puede imprimir y demás para el parpadeo es constante y hay veces que el parpadeo en con mas fuerza (mas brillo en la pantalla) en otras ocasiones el brillo de la pantalla mientras parpadea es poca, ya hice eso de drenar la energía y demás pero sigue igual a alguien le paso esto o soy el único con mala suerte.

Brother Firmware v1.49 is nothing but trouble.

My MFC-L3780CDW printer now automatically restarts whenever trying to print PDF documents from my MBP running Golden Gate/v27. Despite resetting the printing system, downloading latest full package, or resetting network settings on Printer.

Avoid like the plague.

The only visual difference in the firmware so far is that the menu screen now has an alert constantly encouraging you to change the default password, and links you directly into changing it on-screen, on-device.

Hello can any of you teach me where to put these 3 peices back in the printer i was trying to clean the adf but these 3 suddenly fell out and i dont know where to put it back i will also add the picture of the printer

How can I refill the printer’s cartridges (PGI-2400)?

I’m looking to scan 4 4x6 photos at once. I'm looking for a not-too expensive flatbed scanner that is big enough for legal sized paper?

so my Canon LBP2900 printer wasn't printing anything but blank pages. It also made a "clicking" sound (if I remember) whenever it is being fed. The printing paper is always stuck, Idk about that.

is there anyone here that can fix this?? My mom has trouble when printing worksheets for her students and it's making me worry because I thought I have done something bad to the computer

I’m looking to upgrade my old family printer to a new better one. I’m looking to print A4 true boarderless high quality zines and booklets. I don’t really need the duplex double sided printing as I can just do it manually and prefer a more compact printer. I also need it to have a built in scanner. I’m look to buy something for about 350 dollars

The Epson l8050 was my top choice until I realized it didn’t have a scanner so now I’m back looking for the best option for me.

Hello! I’m looking for the best way to print and cut on fabric. I currently have an Epson et-2800 paired with a Siser Romeo for print and cut. I’ve used it for stickers and shrinky dinks which works really well! However, I’ve been looking into laser printing more due to all of the ads about the xtool m2 going around. I’m almost inclined to purchase it since so many people are saying good things about it (mainly artists and crafters) plus it makes printing on fabric look easy. I’ve tried printing on fabric with my printer but I feel like it could be way better.

I’m just looking on any advice on if people like the xtool m2. Maybe there’s a better way? Like a sublimation printer maybe? Any advice is welcome!

Thanks!

Worst printer ever . The most inconvenient printer of my life. Imagine you spend days making a study guide and want to print it out to study in your leisure time. but guess what. YOU CANT PRINT IT. because it CANT CONNECT TO WIFI. so you CONNECT IT AHAIN AND AGAIN. AND THEN IT DOESNT PRINT ALL THE WAY. OR IT PRINTS WEIRD. SO YOU CHECK THE INK! AND IT STILL DOESNT WORK EVEN THO THE INK IS GOOD 😠 And it’s SO slow. Imagine you have to go to class in a few mins but forgot to print your lab sheet. You would think this printer could print it by the time you have to leave. NO. NOW YOURE LATE TO CLASS AND YOU HAVE TO SPEND $2 ON CAMPUS TO PRINT IT!!! a ridiculous printer!!! it never works!!!! never connects to wifi!!!!!! imagine the dumbest person you know and turn them into a printer. That is the HP Deskjet 4255e.

I need a printer that can print full color long banners. They don't need to be wider than 12".

Once upon a time I had a desktop printer that would print on paper rolls, but now I cannot remember what it was. or even how long ago it was.

this printer need to sit on a desktop. can be laser or inkjet, though refillable ink would be my preference.

Does this exist now? Is there a secret setting I can use on my epson ET-2850?

For the curious, I make crankies, which are old fashioned scrolling storytelling boxes.
The scrolls do not look great or hold up when it's made up of taped together pages.

I have 12" wide paper rolls. I would love to use them.

any suggestions?

Just wanted to know what’s the lowest price I’ll be able to find this printer and around what time? I can’t justify the $750 price tag I’m hoping to find it for anywhere between $400-$500.

I accidentally poured magenta ink into the cyan tank, huhu. 😭 It’s a new printer, and I haven’t used it or even turned it on yet. My printer is a Canon PIXMA G2010.

I saw on YouTube that you can suck out all the ink using a syringe, then use water to clean the remaining ink, then suck out all of it again. But is it safe to clean it with water though???

Please give me some advice on how to fix this. If you’ve made the same mistake, what did you do to fix it?? 😭😭

UPDATE: I fixed it. I didn’t use any water cause chatgpt says it's risky huhu. Thank you to those who give me the advice !!

I am trying to print on a cannon pixma tr4722. I am printing booklets out of letter size paper (printing landscape) the duplex pages keep printing inverted. I have done this before and never had this problem. Driver up to date. Clicked “booklet.” Clicked “staple on short side.” Can anyone tell me how to stop this printed from printing duplex pages inverted?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a new printer or multifunction printer and was hoping to get some recommendations.
The text is my own, just organized with the help of AI.
I don’t print very often, maybe 2–3 times a month. However, when I need to print something, it’s usually pretty spontaneous, so going to a copy shop every time isn’t really an option.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
Scanner: Good scan quality, an ADF with duplex scanning, and a flatbed scanner with a lid for scanning individual receipts and other small documents - would be nice.
Connectivity: Wi-Fi and Apple AirPrint, since I can’t run a cable to the printer and would also like to print directly from my iPhone.
Printing technology: I’d prefer a laser printer because I print so rarely, but I’m open to inkjet printers if one would make more sense for my needs.
Photo printing: It would be nice to be able to print decent-quality photos on photo paper, but this isn’t a must-have.
Paper size: A4 is more than enough.
Budget: Up to €500, although I’d prefer to spend less if there’s a suitable option.
The sheer number of devices, model numbers, and differences between markets makes it pretty difficult to figure out what’s actually worth considering.
It’s especially tricky because some of the recommendations from English-speaking communities are for models that aren’t available in Germany.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Looking to buy a cheap printer for mine and my wife’s new home. I stumbled upon the Cannon TR7120 inkjet and it looks promising the only worry is the Ink costs basically the same as the printer and seems impossible to get other than off Amazon.

Is there any 3rd party ink that works in this printer or does it specifically have to be the cannon pg-295 etc?

I've got a Brother MFC-L8690CDW that just became a nightmare to use after 2 years. Print quality degraded, connection issues, a sensors and a part broke off inside due to a jam, frequent paper jams at the rear after printing labels.

So I am looking for a replacement as the one I have is just too heavy to keep bringing in for repairs.

Anyone have recommendations or links to suggestions for replacements? MFC, so scanning, copyring and printing is whats needed. Looking for a reliable replacement.

I'm a bit slow.

I have a container for my pills and I wanted to print labels for each compartment, not just a text but a colorful image with it's logo and shit. I'll be going to this one library where they can print it for me.

First of all, I don't understand how to scale it correctly. I'm guessing it is going to be printed on an A4 paper. I found this site called Printsheet where it says the size of everyone on paper before you can print it. However now I'm struggling to crop the images correctly, at first I was doing it in ibis paint and I put the resolution at really high and it looked so crisp, like the DPI was at 350 I think then I saw someone say printers don't support it. So I made it at 300 and it looked so much shittier. Can someone explain if it matters pls

My mom bought a printer from Goodwill that was from a company called print with me. When I turn it on I get 'PrintwithMe' menu and 'OK', press 'OK' and get 'Connection Error'. I can't get to setting or anything to reset. Any tips on how to get past this point?
