Would someone help me find a small office desktop colour laser printer please.

The heads current current colour desktop laser printer has gone pop.

 

The printer that went pop was a Brother HL-L8260CDW

I would get this, but I'm concerned that it must be old now, as I believe we purchased this years ago.

 

I have also found the following.

Brother HL-L8430CDW

Does the fact that 8430 is a higher number than 8260 mean that printer is newer or better?

Wonder why this has no price or reviews? I did find it on Misco, so it is being sold.

 

I dont want something that is about to go EOL

Any other recommendations or advice very welcome, as I only purchase these once every 5 years or so.

 

Thanks for you time.

BTW, I hate printers more than anything 👍

So the heads old printer is almost 10 years old and the one I found came out this summer, so that helps loads.

 

anyone recommend anything else?

Up to you ..... But recommend a managed printer / print service these days.

 

(See if you can find anything about these being mentioned in the Meeting digital and technology standards in schools and colleges https://www.gov.uk/guidance/meeting-digital-and-technology-standards-in-schools-and-colleges requirements to back you up)

 

By context... 

Some SLT don't have CARS that are 10x years old, let alone a printer. Some of our unmanaged ones are 12x years old and have been warned .. numerous times...when they die, they die and won't be replaced.
