Beware of Brother. They have separate toner and drum units. Replacing the drum it's gonna bite you hard. I'd rather go with Samsung. They are very friendly towards Linux and they make decent hardware. Best is to first do an evaluation on supplies, i.e. toner, drum etc and calculate the price per page. Don't look at the price of the printer itself, compare the price of the replacement toner. My 2 cents, Dumitru On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 7:21 AM, Croombe F.
