Brother HL-2280DW wireless AIO Laser Printer $100@Newegg

I recently picked up a refurbished Brother 7860DW from Staples ($95 with tax after rebate) and love it. Comparing this deal with the 7860DW [findthebest.com], they look pretty similar except for faxing and document feeder. Anyway, Brother seems to make nice printers. I'm very happy with mine.

Quote from blueiedgod : Looks like a good AIO, but there is no fax. I guess for $100 you can't get everything. Ideally I would like to replace the Epson 610 AIO Inkjet and HP 1012 with just one machine... Ideal replacemtn would be a AIO Color Laser with Fax...

Wow -- are you my doppelganger? My Epson Workforce 610 died recently (I'm guessing some bad ink carts caused it), so I picked up a wireless Cannon printer. My HP1012 still works great, but even though I share it from my desktop PC, my wife has trouble printing to it from her Mac. I didn't want her continually printing on the inkjet, so picked up the wireless Brother laser printer. It's awesome and I couldn't be happier.

Quote from dstppy : This model only has Wireless B/G, so it's basically only WiFi. Android probably supports this, but not Apple. Amazon says mobile device is only "Cortado Workplace" You got to have an AirPrint printer for that. Good deal, but not for smartphones across the board.

Get rid of your overpriced proprietary Apple devices and your problem is solved.

I concur.

Quote from Buckeyefan 1 : The Brother 575 Fax usually goes on sale during the holidays for $9.99. Works great as an outgoing fax. But I agree, too bad the 2280 doesn't have that features. For as little as people use faxes, the 575 works well for us, and we get no spam faxes as we don't load the machine with paper.

hrm, while not a bad idea, I am trying to consolidate the machines. I missed out on the Brother with Fax last week from Staples. Went out of stock as I was checking out...

I see the price as $189.00. Is the deal over?

I did read your post indicating that you've been a little too busy to call Brother.
On the other hand, I've seen you try lots of different things and respond to several suggestions.
In that time, you might have called Brother and they might have had a solution for you.

This is the same price that I paid a while back. I think its a good deal because I haven't seen it this cheap in a while. The printer has performed great. My wife prints off a lot of coupons and she loves that she can do it wirelessly from her laptop. Setting up wireless is very easy with the given CD. She also uses the duplex feature to save on paper. The scanner works fine, but we don't use it a whole lot. As for ink, you will find a multitude of 3rd party generic options that make this printer incredibly cheap in the long run. Oh and compared to my old inkjets, this printer is FAST! In my opinion, get this if you need a good reliable printer, with cheap ink/tonner, and you don't mind the lack of color. Wireless, duplex, and scanning are nice extras on top of all that.

Quote from Wildcardz : Sorry for the stupid question....does this print color as well ?

Nope, its black and white only. I actually see that as a positive since I don't have to mess around with multiple cartridges. We keep our old inkjet around just in case we need to print something in color. But that hasn't happened yet and its still gathering dust as we speak.

Did you actually the the post???

Quote from orion2001 : Dunno if that is an issue with the printer or your setup. It works great with my wife's Macbook Pro and has always printed wirelessly. Brother thankfully has good OSX support unlike my last Canon printer which required 3rd party Gutenprint drivers to work.

I may have to call customer service, my girlfriend has a 2009 Mac Book Pro upgraded to Mountain Lion with the latest drivers installed from the Brothers website. It still has issues finding the printer and printing from the printer. But everything Windows based in my house works perfectly fine.

It's not even 10 AM PST...

I'd rather not whine and cry for Ice Cream Sandwich to come on my device . . .

Might want to price shop for a Samsung before you start calling Apple overpriced
