Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Laser Printer

Despite endless predictions of a paperless office, we’re not there yet, and like it or not, a printer is still a useful accessory to have on hand. They can be frustrating, there’s no doubt about that, so we recommend skipping the fancy color options which rely on frequently changed ink carts for a laser printer instead. The $120 Brother HL-L2300D is relatively affordable, and a replacement toner cartridge will set you back as little as $40 with a promised yield of 1,200 pages. The printer can also handle double-sided duplex prints all by itself, and while it’s limited to black and white, when was the last time you actually printed out one of the photos from your smartphone’s camera roll?
