Can't spend more than that so please suggest which one is better. Also if you know please mention if toner/cartridges and other repair parts will be available easily. Thanks a lot!

If this is for business use, I'd personally go for the HP just because parts and toner are easier to come by. Those kinds of printers can and do break down frequently and it's better to have access to the parts in the event that does happen.
I have been very happy with Brother laser printers, although my sample size is very small. I gave away a Brother HL-2070N (?) that had worked flawlessly (although light duty) for probably 8 years, when I got my Brother MFC-9330CDW, and that's been working fine (also light duty) for at least two years now. Toner for each was readily available, and cheaper than HP or Dell. Previously, I had owned a couple of Brother inkjet printers, but my usage was so light that ink often dried out and/or clogged nozzles; that's why I switched to laser.
Of the two you list, I would probably choose the Canon. At work, we've had ENDLESS driver issues from our networked HP printers; they get frequently stomped by Windows Updates, suggesting they don't put their files where Microsoft says they should.

Yeah, I've heard about Brother but the thing is, their service isn't that reliable here in my area. And I currently own HP DeskJet and have had enough with it. I too have very light use of printer actually (hardly 50-75 prints/month, rarely 100+) and that's why I was looking for laser because no ink clogging there. Thanks though, even I would kinda like to give Canon a try after suffering with HP through all these years and especially after seeing so many good reviews on their printers too.
Thanks a lot for your time! Have a nice day! :)
