    Oh BROTHER, not this again.

    On a more serious note, I’ve been all about brother printers for a few years now and couldn’t be happier.

        Called brother about this and talked through the issues raised by Rossmann, they convinced me enough to buy 3 printers from them this month.

      I’ve been rockin my HL3170CDW for many years now. I have absolutely no issues with this printer, and I’ll buy nothing else.
