@ross Two requirements for me, color prints and duplex printing. This printer does neither. Single side printing requires more paper or printing alternate pages on two runs. That's not efficient, especially if you don't get page alignment right to keep page order. My HP 450 DN has been a workhorse for 10+ years no. My previous HP color, duplex printer still work but HP dropped driver to use it.

@wsrphoto Yeah. I get that if you have use cases for those things.

The additional cost is not worth it for me or many people.

@ross That printer does duplex printing - I know as I have it. (brother makes several models, the article is about whatever is on sale, I waited until the week the model with duplex as on sale and thus the cheapest option).

You can get brother lasers with color as well, but they are never the cheapest thing on sale. For most people though they are better off sending their color printing needs to the nearest store and picking it up on the next errant.
