[Discussion] Postscript Laser Printer?

[BillN]

Well, this is one I have some good experience with. I bought, some time 
ago, a Brother HL-5170DN, a B&W only laser with duplex and network 
support. The price was under $300.

The good news is that a later model with same capabilities, plus 50% 
faster at 30PPM, recently went on sale at Newegg for $139. It was not 
clear if any toner was included. However, I am still running on the last 
of the small toner cart shipped with the printer after more than 2 
years. I have a large (5-6000 page) cart on the shelf.

All in all, it has been reliable, fast, quiet, extremely few jams, 
usually my fault. :-} The current model is an HL-5280DN, same design, etc.
