So far so good...:
Got this printer about a week ago now at Office Depot for $119 - some online deal. I used to have an HP. It lasted only 2 years. Pros:
1. Easy setup - like 10 mins. Windows 7 does not need any software installation (I usually avoid it anyway).
2. Comes with a starter toner cartridge.
3. Love the prints - very clear black
4. Very quiet.
5. Very quick printing Cons:
1. No wireless
2. No USB Cable. Ensure you can re-use your old printers USB cable or get one... more info
Broke down after about 50 pages:
I have a Brother DCP-7020 and it has worked well, so I had high hopes for this machine. Didn't pan out.

I thought it might be the printer cartridge, so I replaced it with a new one, but that wasn't it. Some of these might be fine, but my experience was wholly negative.

So I like Brother brand.I have used this new printer for over 2 months and it has still worked smooth. One feature that I love is its ability to copy multi pages automatically. Overall, so far I am very satisfied with the printer.

So my ~10 year old Xerox copy machine started consistently eating paper. I toyed with the idea of having it repaired until I realized that it would doubtless have cost me more than a brand new machine would cost. And the new machine would be able to do more at a lower cost. Keep in mind that this old Xerox had cost me about $600 10 years ago. So after a great deal of online research I decided that this unit was the way to go. I can't say enough about this wonderful little machine. Let me list some of it's... more info
