Buy the Canon PIXMA TS6520.
It prints both sides, doesn't nag you for a subscription, and owners actually like it.

Five reasons
1. Duplex printing the HP simply skips
The Canon and Brother auto-print both sides of a page, but the HP DeskJet 2955 has no automatic duplex. That means manual flipping for every double-sided job, forever, on the cheaper machine.
2. No subscription trap waiting to bite you
Owners report the Canon runs fine on off-brand cartridges with no complaints. The HP's Instant Ink starts free but quietly bills you monthly after 3 months unless you remember to cancel.
3. Owners say it just works, Brother's don't
Canon reviewers report it 'prints fast' with 'no complaints so far.' Brother 1360 owners describe clogging and one calls it 'the worst at-home printer' in 30 years of use.
4. Same core features, half the price
The Canon costs $79.97 with duplex, wireless and a display. The Brother 1360 charges $159.99 for the same basic feature set, nearly double, while carrying a worse reliability record.
5. Yes, the HP is cheaper. Skip it anyway.
The HP saves you $20 upfront, but that gets eaten by the ink subscription trap and a review calling it 'the worst HP printer' in 20 years. The Canon costs a little more and skips both headaches.
