I'm one of those weirdos that need to print and scan at home since my hobbies include a bit of office work. I've been using a HP Color Laserjet multifunction machine for a number of years but genuine toner cartridges costs an arm and a leg. I've been using Chinesium eBay cartridges in it but the last set didn't produce very good printouts. The HP also didn't do double-sided printing or scanning.
Enter its replacement, a monochrome Brother MFC-2750DW that cost less than a set of genuine HP CMYK cartridges... and yes, it came with a full toner cartridge in the box. It's faster, quieter and less bulky than the HP it replaced and can deliver scans directly to a number of cloud services including Google Drive and Dropbox. It even has OCR scanning built in.
The "full software package" for Mac was like 10MB and consisted of a wizard that installs the printer and a link to the Brother app on the Mac App Store. Installing a new printer on a Mac takes like two mouse clicks from within the print dialog of whatever app you're printing from and I had already done that by the time I got around to installing the software. The Brother app is only really useful for scanning photos and the like.
The touchscreen UI displays the fax feature front and center, which is beyond my understanding considering we are living in 2020. Other than that it's well thought out and easy to use. Can recommend.
