I need to replace one of my Brother printers and am looking for a |
| 2 |
replacement. I have had luck in recent years with Brother printers: |
| 3 |
- HL-5250DN (needs to be replaced) |
| 4 |
- HL-5370 - working OK |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I only need a B/W printer with an Ethernet interface. Toner usage is |
| 7 |
important. Average pages per day will range from 20-50. |
| 8 |
|

Brother recently improved with their Linux drivers; installing one under |
| 10 |
Gentoo from RPM (with minor adjustments) was ok. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Looking at Brother web-page, they have: |
| 13 |
- HL-L5200DW - 8000 pages per $177.49 toner seems OK |
| 14 |
It has "Advanced security features to help protect sensitive documents" |
| 15 |
I don't know what that is, have to ask Brother. |
| 16 |
However, http://www.openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/Brother |
| 17 |
does not mention this model, so I have no reference as to how well it |
| 18 |
works with Linux. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
HL-L2360DW - Seems OK but it only makes 2,600-pages per $100/toner; |
| 21 |
this is NOT OK. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I used to have HP but I don't like their toners with chip technology, so |
| 24 |
NO HP, unless they have changed. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Any other recommendations? |
