Default Can't repair home office printer, so need a new one

My personal preference is black and white lasers for 99% of our

I am also a fan of having two printers (though I have three*). With fax
almost dead, does one really need a full all-in-one? I agree with the
Brother recommendation. For the B&W laser I have the Brother HL2280. It was
much cheaper three years ago. What it gives me is a convenient flatbed
copier in addition to a laser printer.

Over seven years ago I bought a color laser printer. Long since
discontinued. I rarely print in color. I only turn it on when I need it.

For my all-in-one I bought the older model of the Brother MFCJ6920DW:

It gives me the feeder if I want to scan a stack. And most important to me,
it gives me an 11"x17" scanner for a reasonable price (it was cheaper back
when I bought it). I have never bought 11x17 paper and with the color laser
I don't use it to print at all.

* four if you count the Seiko label printer.
