Just a follow up to this, I picked up a Brother MFC-L37750CDW from my father-in-law for cost. We set it up tonight and everything went really smooth from the test pages we printed from the mac and my iPhone. He said for small businesses its one of his best sellers and relatively low on the "requires service" call list so hopefully it pans out. At the price we paid it couldn't really be beat.

Great choice. I switched to a brother color laser ~10 years ago. Gave it away to a buddy who needed a laser printer so I could upgrade and get a new Brother to get AirPrint compatibility. Both printers still going strong.

I use Lexmark for the business. Their toner return program cuts the cost by about half.

Printers are a crapshoot though, we stopped selling them years ago. People could have a computer that stalls on them every ten minutes and you'd still have fewer complaints than a slightly problematic printer.

Which one do you have, Rage? I have a Samsung C430W now but I really would like something that does duplex printing. I don't know if a printer for at-home use also has the top-load paper scanner but certainly would be nice.

Some quick comparisons seems to point me to the Brother MFC-L3770CW for what I'm looking for.

This is what I have. Can't believe they still sell 'em.

I paid way less than that, want to say it was on sale at $300.

edit - don't think mine does duplex printing though.

I fucked up in my original post and had too many 7's. I bought the MFC-L3750CDW which is a colour printer. The 3770 is one step up from what I have and the only real difference is NFC printing with androids, the multipurpose tray that flips out of the front can hold multiple sheets versus mine which is one at a time, and it can do duplex scanning where I think mine is one side at a time for scans. But for what I paid it does everything I could ever want from a home user.

[msommers]

The 3770 is on sale via Staples or Amazon for $379.99, down from $549.99. Sale ends today. You might be able to go to Bestbuy and deal with them for the 10% difference since they're still advertising it for regular price, I think that'd save you a few more dollars.

Duplex scanning and printing at home FTW.

I have a duplex scan/print unit from brother. We scan a shitpile of medical shit for the kids so that save a lot of hassle. Quality still not close to the commercial scanners at most offices, but good enough.

This thing is a beast and also the cat's ass, wireless setup works perfect. Not looking forward to buying ink for it though at $400 for the OEM high yields
