Howdy, |

I'm looking at printers. I been wanting a toner based printer for a |
| 4 |
LONG time now. I'm so tired of those poorly made ink jet things that |
| 5 |
don't last long at all. I've found one so far. According to the |
| 6 |
printer support website, Linux supports it. [1] The site says this: |
| 7 |
"Color printer, works Perfectly". Sounds good. This is the model. |
| 8 |
Brother HL-L3270CDW Now I googled some, which can be dangerous at |
| 9 |
times, and not sure this is a printer I want. It seems to be light duty |
| 10 |
and I suspect when I first get this thing, I'm going to be printing a |
| 11 |
LOT of stuff. According to a spec sheet on the cartridge, it does about |
| 12 |
3,000 pages for black and 2,300 for color. Should I try to find a |
| 13 |
printer that does more than this or is that about the norm? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I did some searching on duty cycles and such. This one shows this: |
| 16 |
Duty Cycle: Up to 30,000 Would that be OK for a printer for home use, |
| 17 |
likely heavy use the first couple months? What sort of life should I |
| 18 |
expect from this type of printer? |
| 19 |
|

Any insight on this would be nice. As some know, I'm on fixed income so |
| 21 |
I'd like to get a printer that can handle my needs and not be breaking |
| 22 |
to much. I wouldn't mind having cartridges that can either be refilled |
| 23 |
or are affordable too. Sometimes just a few dollars more can get you a |
| 24 |
lot more printing. BTW, I don't need one that scans or anything. I |
| 25 |
have a scanner already. If there is one that is a really dependable one |
| 26 |
that has a scanner, I wouldn't pass it up just for that but it isn't |
| 27 |
needed. Mostly, I just want a printer that is economical and dependable. |

Thanks much. |
