Good evening!

I have a Brother HL-L2300D. It claims to be able to do 600 or 1200dpi, but all attempts at printing to it using those resolutions fail (the printer light just blinks awhile but nothing prints). Other limitations of the printer: the driver is 32-bit only and doesn't work on my 64-bit system, even with 32-bit support installed. (Also, the Brother printer drivers offered for it are ancient.)

    I 'bought' a Brother MFC J5910DW combination scanner/printer/fax -
    it came free if you bought
    a few ink cartridges. I downloaded the drivers from the Brother
    website and installed them and
    have been more than happy with the results. It can handle A3 as well
    as A5,A5, thought the scanner
    only takes A4. I had it for quite a few years now, and it's been no
    problem other than waking me up
    if I'm nodding off around lunchtime, as it does a little cleaning
    about then. I've worked my
    way through a good few cartridges since then, but I've done a lot of
    printing so I don't think
    it's excessive.
