@Minion-Queen - Is Brother strict on whether the toner is official Brother toner? I would typically buy Dell toner from Dell (rip off). Every so often I try to buy off Amazon and you end up with a third party toner that doesn't work or only works for a few prints and then warns you that the toner is not compatible.
In all honesty, you could probably skirt the OEM toner, but at risk of your warranty.
For the cost and piece of mind I'd just buy OEM.
-
And the reason that I'd buy OEM is I don't want to spend 400 - 600 on a printer, only to break it with something aftermarket.
Maybe after it's useful life would I start to use aftermarket toner. But not on new equipment.
-
@DustinB3403 - I just looked up the price for toner on the MFC-L6900DW and it is half the price of Dell.
-
Think I will definitely be venturing in the Brother direction. Thanks!

That's what we use at home, too. We have a decent sized commercial black and white one.

I hate Brother printers. not as much as lexmark, but i never have good luck with them.
I was buying HP, but they are failing.
Last one I bought was a Canon.
-
@JaredBusch - Yeah I think HP is in the same boat as Dell. Both are just overprice crap.
Hopefully I have better luck with Brother.
Which Canon did you go with and how has it been?
-
To be clear I wouldn't buy anything Brother that wasn't business class, cause that is crap.
-
Perfect timing

My Brother HL-5170dn from ~2005 is still running strong.
