We needed a reliable printer as I am currently working from home. We researched as many options as possible and the Brother HL-1212W all in box laser printer came closest to our requirements. It does what says on the tin, was easy to set up, comes with lots of ink and does good quality black and white printing. It does not scan or photocopy and if you need more sophisticated colour prints it is not for you. It is exactly what we wanted and what we expected.
