Today I picked up our new ā€˜old’ printer. I messaged a guy on Facebook a couple of days ago and we agreed for me to pick it up today. As soon as I clocked into those early 2000’s buttons I was all in. I do love me some buttons.

It was listed for Ā£45 but I got it down to Ā£40. Are you even doing Facebook Marketplace right if you don’t haggle? I figured if he said it had been sitting in his house for a year unused he would have wanted it gone asap soon as possible. Here it is, sitting under the office desk in all its glory. It’s a Brother MFC-8370DN.

It doesn’t come with a USB cable but I don’t think we’ll need one because we can just use a USB stick to print directly. It also doesn’t support WiFi printing but I don’t mind. It only prints in monochrome but again I don’t mind. We’ll only be using it print documents anyway.

I’ve always wanted a laser printer after years of fiddling about with annoying inkjet printers. Suck it HP and Epson, you money-grabbing pieces of shit companies.
