Visit brother usa.com Model HL-2040 USD119.99 - 600 dpi Mono printer Model HL- 2070N USD149.99 - up to 1200 dpi 16MB memory- network ready Model HL-5240 DN USD 249.99 - 1200 dpi Duplexing and network ready Consumables will cost you about 1.5c per copy, better that the 9 -12c for inkjets, and depending on the cartridge supplied up to 3000 (for2040) to 6000 copies before replacement - the drum is good for 20,000 copies before replacing. The Brother machine is a good economical workhorse, HP are not that much better to warrant the price differential. At the University we used them for personal printers - they gave a lot of service - if you are looking for bang for your buck - you would be hard pushed to do better. I have used Brother Monochrome Lasers for more than 10 years, without any grief - no I don't and never have worked for Brother	KenESmith (6287)

Epson were better than HP but the canon ones (i'm on my fourth) have always been the best (I wrecked one by using el-cheapo replacement cartridges though). Current one is an IP4200. The ink is expensive but lasts a long time. It prints excellent quality photos and prints cds as well. My wife has the MP500, which is basically the same printer with an added scanner/copier and it too is a really nice printer. You will find that the cheaper printers tend to be expensive for ink, but n the end, the ink is the biggest cost for all of them.	andy (473)
