I have a couple of Brother MFC-6490CW B-size all-in-ones that I just love.
Excellent print quality with cheap, chip-free ink cartridges, good
scanning, no worries.

Yes, but that is a color inkjet and not a color laser printer.
However, it's much cheaper than an equivalent B-size color laser
printer.

Also, not having to deal with refill protection chips on the toner or
ink carts is a big savings.  The Brother MFC-L2740DW laser printer I
previously mentioned is the last of the Brother home or small office
printers which do not require a toner cartridge with a chip.

I refurbished 9 used printers, kept 2 for myself, and sold the
remaining printers to customers.  The printer was introduced in
2014(?).  I think 5 of them have been cleaned, had the super cap
replaced and some rubber parts replaced.  I promised the other owners
that I would replace the battery for free, but would charge for the
rubber parts and cleaning.  So far, all the remaining batteries are
still working.

That's about 1 weeks collection of just printers.  Notice that the
pile is mostly big, heavy, office laser printers.  As far as I could
tell, they were almost new.  All the printers went to various
refurbishers to be resold on eBay or Amazon.

Good Medicine!

Thanks.  What does "good medicine" mean?

Cheers
