I need to buy a black and white laser/led printer and I have narrowed down the choice to these two network devices:
1) Brother HLL2350DW (30 ppm 109€)
2) Oki B412dn (33 ppm 122€)
The Brother wins when used with compatible toner cartridges: 2 x 3000 pages toner cartridges cost €21.90 both on Amazon. Most user comments on Amazon suggest that Brother compatible toner cartridges work reliably with this Brother printer, while for the Oki printer the compatible toner cartridges are not judged reliable by users.
The Oki printer wins when used with the original toners: the genuine 7000 page Oki toner is about 70 € on Amazon, while the genuine Brother 3000 page toner is about 80 € also on Amazon.
I would take the Oki printer if the compatible toners were reliable, but I’m not sure: what is worth buying ? Is there a better alternative to these two printers ?
