Looking for an all in one laser printer.

Low volume (approx. 10-15k pages / yr)

Color

A4 (~ US Letter)

Scan (incl. scan to fileshare)

Fax (ya, we'll get rid of this ~~soon~~ never)

Duplex scan

Duplex print

Two paper trays (>= 250 sheets / tray)

Preferably no bloatware drivers

Ideas?

Looks like a showdown between Kyocera Ecosys M5526cdn and Brother MFC-L8690CDW.

Anyone using one of them?

I don't like Brother printers. At least none of the ones we've got here.
Mrs nadnerB has been looking at MFC's for our house and found Brother doesn't fair so well in the long run, hardware wise.

I despise their "Control Center" software and am not overly impressed with their hardware.

I will state that I'd take one over a Fuji-Xerox.

From what Mrs nadnerB and I have seen in the lower spec space, the Kyocera would be the better of the two.

Brother's have lasted us at work far longer than Xerox and HP printers, both printer and MFC.

Just hacked a new admin account onto a computer because nobody added a local admin account when it was setup..... and no, we don't have a domain here. FFS.

We have a Brother laser at home that didn’t last at all.

Hehe, yep. Anyway, I was about to place an order until I saw where the Kyocera stores its toner cartridges: on the right side. Now guess where the right side of the printer will be placed - next to a wall.

Will order an HP 477dn instead. A little plus: You can adjust the display position, so you could use it without getting up from your chair. The printer itself will be placed on a desk.

Trying to get SSL Certs onto my Unifi controller but not having much luck.

Do I need to still generate a request thingy form the controller if I already have a WildCard SSL?

My dad was in the same boat. A $100 brother laser lasted at least 6 years.. I think he moved (and downsized) before it died.

Years isn't a good measurement for a printer, it's more about pages.

Very true.. his usage was pretty low.

So was ours, go years without printing. After very few pages, it just stopped working. We should have just paid Kinkos to do the printer for as little as we used it.

Obsolesce

I don't like laser printers. Call me old fashioned idc.

A simple HP ink jet all-in-one, with HP Instant Ink works so well for us, and has been for last bunch of years. And we're not very light with the page count, 50-100 pages a month if not more.

Minion Queen

I print about 200-500ish pages a month, not a massive amount but a really steady amount.

Yeah then laser makes more sense.

At home, it's just for my wife's college work, and activities for my daughter. No laser printer needed for that.

My Inject at home has only been used 2-3 times in the last year, and twice from by the Sister-in-law to print Job applications out lol.
