I bought a Brother HL-L8260CDW for my mother and it works perfectly |

fine for her, except it failes with out of memory for some photo print |
11 |
jobs, she has both linux and MS-Windows computers. |

Don't know what you classify as heavy use, but the 3270 looks like a |
19 |
small, light duty printer. |

Generally, when I look for printers my spec is: |
24 |
. postscript level 3 (or compatible) |
25 |
. duplex/tumble (up to 200g/m²) |
26 |
. A3 or larger |
27 |
. >= two paper trays + manual feed |
28 |
. up to 300g/m² |
29 |
. matte blacks (most (all?) new printers make glossy printouts) |
30 |
. clean, crisp and high resolution printouts |
31 |
. lots of memory, fast cpu |
32 |
. cable ethernet connection |
33 |
. lpr port (515) and 9100 |
34 |
. price range |
35 |
|
36 |
You havn't said your spec. so I cannot recommend anything for you. |
37 |
But going A4/letter, there is too many to choose from, so start with |
38 |
price range. |
