   I've been really happy with my Brother printers, including the   
   HL-L2395DW print/scan/copy/fax/email I've had for 2 years now.  New   
   toner cart is $20 or so.   
      
   The wireless connection is annoying, though.  When we had a power   
   failure recently our router got a new IP address for the printer and we   
   went through a LOT of shit before discovering that that was the problem.   
     There's a USB connection for the windows machine (no wireless   
   capability), but the linux machines have to do things wirelessly.  CUPS   
   is a real POS.
