I use linux and have had some issues in the past with older models that were refurbs...theall in one I received printed blurry (this was back in the inkjet days though).. I ended up with a good deal on a Dell Color Laser and then purchased a cheap all in one with document feeder inkjet and just never even inserted the ink cartridges...for the same price as a set of inkjet cartridges that will dry up if not used and are only expected to print 500 pages I could get a toner cartridge that would print at LEAST 1500. The old Minolta 1250W Winprinter (the brains were actually handled by the pc) I've had for 20+ years recently finally died (the paper feeder appears to have died) so I've been on the lookout for a cheap b/w laser replacement with good replacement toner options. Where did all the $50 b/w laser printer deals go?

Thank you. Looks like the 3290cdw would be the best all in one option under $300.

It doesn't have manual paper feed tray, pass.

HLL8360CDW is OOS. Still got 4x color laser in box from old fire sales - mostly just for the print cartridges.

For those interested, walmart.com has the factory refurb Brother HLL2325DW with duplexing and wireless for $79.99 with free shipping. Very good price. Here's a link:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Brothe.../466839149

These laser printers have a major flaw with the bottom paper tray not being recognized after heavy use. The paper tray slides into the printer and this tiny plastic piece tells the printer if the tray if the tray is in or not, after inserting paper into the tray over and over, you will get an error message of 'no paper tray - reload paper'. I tried to get mine fixed which was nearly impossible, moist places will not fix or work on printers, I did find one place but they wanted $80 per hour to work on it with an estimated 4 hours to disassemble and repair it. Buy the extended 3 warranty through Allstate/Square Trade-Walmart's warranty company.

Avoid and I mean avoid the new Brother printers like the MFC-J1010DW which does everything--print copy, fax, scan, duplex printing, and even ADF., Replacement ink for a set of 3 colors and 1 black and white will set you back, $60 each time. There are no OEM or generic inks for this model anywhere. Uses the Ink LC401 series. I had a problem with this printer only a week later getting low ink messages after only printing less than 20 pages and Brother told me to replace the ink cartridges to fix it. $60 in the trash. This printer only costs $100.

You can go the EZ-refresh monthly subscription ink-jet program, $2.50 for 40 pages per month, $5.50 for 80 pages per month, $10 for 200 pages per month, and $16 for 400 pages per month. The laser costs are more expensive.

If you go over your allowed limit, you will get charged more automatically and when you cancel the refresh program, any refresh ink left in your printer immediately stops working. I printed 9 envelopes and was already down to 31 pages for the month, insanity.

Do yourself a favor, and check the prices of replacement ink cartridges or toners before buying any printer from any brand. New printers are chipset locked, making 3rd party ink useless and brand name ink prices are overpriced.

The best solution for me was to get an all-in-one black and white laser printer, No expensive ink cartridges to deal with and toner ink doesn't dry up if say you only print once a month. Color laser printers are not worth the price as the color output looks faded compared to what's on-screen.

Hope this helps Smilie

So much frustration and expense that printer manufacturers are building into their new "subscription models". It's nothing more than a money grab, not unlike what cable TV did with historically free broadcast television years ago. They want you on that treadmill of recurring expense, and go to great lengths to block any other options you may have. Shameful.

For scanning? Is there an alternative for sub 300?

I can't comment on the refurbs, but brother makes the best printers imo.

We've had our brother laser printer since 2009!

Well, the difference is 79c/gal gas was 30+ years ago, and these same printers (B&W basic duplex + network or wireless) were $50-60 just a few years ago. Also Moore's law and all that.

I never buy refurbished printers. The print drums can be worn out and are almost the cost of the printer!

I bought a refurbished Brother HL-2270DW printer I found at a Staples store for $17, about 3 years ago. It came with a full toner cartridge and has been used daily.

Since then it's gone through at least 5 more toner cartridges and 1 drum unit, all inexpensive 3rd party items. Zero printing problems. Duplexes perfectly too. I don't know what kind of printer you're used to, but I suspect it ain't no Brother!

Anyone know why there isn't any knock off ink for some of these units?
