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.
