PERFECT but Does Not Copy Well b/c Skips Pages if More Than 5 Pages:
I am a solo attorney and have to copy peoples documents and documents for court. I use about 1000 sheets per month in the Bother 7820n and a bother hl-1440 so my use is below requiring a corporate copier. BAD COPYING/SCAN/FAX OF MORE THAN 5 PAGES AT A TIME.
If I copy, scan or fax 5 or more pages I have to either hold each page as it goes through the copier or count the pages when it goes through. It misses a page by throwing 2 or more through at a time every time I do more than 5 pages. BAD... more info
Great machine!:

One way to get around toner low issue:
This printer refuses to print when the toner low signal comes on. Simply take the toner out, look for two holes on the side of the toner and put a tape to block one of the holes.

Does everything but make breakfast:
I had had it with cheapo printers. Especially the kind that say they do everything. Well I decided to buy a really good laser printer. I couldn't be happier! With an added wireless hookup I am in printing,faxing coping and scanning heaven. Granted it only does black printing, but I never saw any reason for all that added color gobbldegoop anyway. If I need to print pictures I will take them to the store. I works like a dream and FAST! WOW! It has so many functions that I haven't yet discovered them all but... more info
