Colour Laser MFP

My Samsung printer is acting up. Can't print from an Apple device unless you installed the driver's before specific OS updates as apple blocks the install on newer versions. Doesn't always register replacement toners now etc.

I do have a harder time justifying the cost for how little I print anymore to justify replacing it and I'd probably just either resort to wait to print something at work or leverage a staples location or something. But you seem to print enough to still justify it. Of the 3 you linked in pretty much at the point I'd refuse to buy HP just due to their business practices anymore and I'd probably blindly pickup the brother printer considering how long the units have lasted in our office.

I have the Brother MFP that SSWilson mentioned as well. We had to exchange it once due to an odd wired networking issue it was having, but they didn't ask us to send the old one back with the warranty swap. If you're interested in getting new ink for it and setting it up on wireless, then you're welcome to have the old one. Other than the physical networking issue, it's a pretty solid unit.


One of the things I'm impressed with is how long this thing seems to go without drying out. We don't print a ton of pages (under 150/month probably closer to 100) but it still kept chugging along for 16+ months on the carts it came with.

I don't know if yours does the same thing as mine, but it runs a self clean if it hasn't been used for a couple days. So it may just be that the firmware is doing it's job to keep the ink fresh.

I had saw the $50 coupon earlier this week off $200 but didn't pull the trigger on anything.

I guess if it's $499, the coupon won't work? lol

Hmm my printer gave a warning today saying the ink absorber is nearly full, so I guess that mostly settles it. The steps to replace it look to involve tearing apart the whole printer (https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MFC-J4410DW+Ink+Absorber+Box+Replacement/125060) and while it looks like Amazon has some replacement sponges, I'm guessing that would be awfully messy to remove and swap.

One questionable element... every other re-certified printer on the Epson site has a "What's in the box" section and mentions ink. This is the only listing that does not. Is it safe to assume that it would come with ink... or do you think they'd actually sell it without?

This one is effectively the same (Costco-exclusive model): https://epson.ca/Certified-ReNew/Al...tank-Printer---Certified-ReNew/p/C11CL43202-N that says it comes with 1 bottle of each ink... but it is $55 more.
