Thoughts on laser printers?

I have always loved HP’s, and have used them for more than 25 years.  I have some small experience with other brands, but I always come back to HP.  My experience has been that the non-HP’s are more difficult to configure and less reliable.

 

They are still my first choice.  YMMV.

Looking for opinions on laser printer vendors – need to replace an older HP Laserjet and was looking for something a little less spendy in terms of upkeep over its lifespan. The Brother HL-5370DWT looks promising – dual paper trays and low-cost consumables – but the comparable HP, the P2055dn, has a larger RAM compliment and a slightly faster page-per-minute rating. My big concern with the HP is that consumables are $160 a pop for the high-capacity cartridges, while the Brother unit takes larger cartridges that run $80 or less.

Does anyone else on campus use non-HP printers?
