A warehouse work-horse that lasted for years.:
I'll be honest - I bought this printer a few years ago for less than $40 brand new through one of the "big box" office supply stores. I should have bought 2, especially since the toner costs more than the printer did. The 2040 has been a solid little work horse and has bee extremely reliable for several years.

The tech support has gone down the toilet!:
Brother's technical service has gone from excellent to terrible. The first few times I called, I got extremely knowledgeable and helpful people. Then my paper started jamming.

Solid basic printer:
I bought this printer about three years ago when I was looking for a job. It is a solid printer that does the job. I've had very few problems with it jamming or causing problems. It does have a tendency to curl envelopes or paper beyond the basic printing stock. For my home needs, it's perfect and was reasonably priced.
