My brother laser printer MFC is eight years old. It's done a great job, but buying the various parts it requires (toner reclaimer or something) is going to cost about 1/4 the cost of a new printer, and it doesn't print double sided any more because some other part wore out. We've decided to just get a new one with features we want. My default choice is the MFCL3770CDW Colour Wireless LED 4-in-1 Printer as it looks like the newer version of the MFC-9140CDN I already have, but looking for opinions / experience.

 

What we're after is:

 

  • Color laser printer for low volume printing. I don't want an inkjet, I've had plenty and they fail as we print fairly rarely
  • Double sided scan through a paper feeder, with decent software supplied or easily available. I scan all my receipts so I use this quite a bit
  • Network printing ethernet and / or WiFi. I have ethernet to the printer but if it had WiFi I can reclaim that port which would be handy.
  • Photocopier
  • Nice to have: envelope printing

Can anyone recommend something better than the Brother @ $462 inc GST?

Thanks all for the thoughts and advice. I think I'll order that Brother mfcl3770cdw I linked to in the first post, as I do want a laser printer not an inkjet, and the other mentioned while good don't quite do what I want at a price I want to pay. Double sided scanning would be a time saver. Any other thoughts or advice are still welcome.
