printer opinions

[Todd Cole]

*I will second Brother Printers MFC line and ADS scanners are second to
nonewe have 5 printers and two scanners and only one repair in the last 5
yearsand work with Windows OSX and Linux but the software is proprietary so
that isthe only draw back. At home I have a MFC-9440CN that I bought used
three years ago*

*it is a color lazer that does not work well for pictures posters ect but
cranks out documents*

*all day for little cost and easy to clean and fix if needed. I also have
brother HL-1440 black and white*

*lazer that is much older and still works perfect and I have only opened it
to add a new toner*
