Hello All,
It's on sale right now at OfficeMax. What I like is that it can do
stand-alone fax and that it prints via a LAN connection, not via that
dreaded printer sharing that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
Toner seems to be around $50 for a 2500 page cartridge, not cheap but
ok. I couldn't quite find out from the downloaded manual whether it can
remain in the 10W sleep mode to receive faxes. If not it would hog a lot
of power.
Hi Joerg,
One thing you have to watch with Brother is the cost of the drum as it
can be very expensive. I have an MFC8300 which I've had pretty good
luck with as a fax/printer from Linux. I haven't tried it as a scanner
from linux.
For my model, it is cheaper to find a new printer on sale that uses the
same drum and throw away the rest of the printer. Cheaper from an
economical sense. I'm not condoning this, just giving the facts. I was
lucky to find someone who wanted the blank printer and I wanted the
drum. So that worked out well.
Other than that issue, I haven't had any troubles with mine for 5 years
or so. Admittedly, I don't print a whole lot. But that is actually
harder on some parts of the printer than printing large runs where
things get warmed up and it runs continuously for long periods of time.
James.
