[DM-MUG] Brother Laser printers

[Matthew W.]

HP is a great choice. Any reason why you passed over the Laserjet  
1018 for $129? Also the 1020 (which is being replaced by the 1022) is  
$129 after rebates. I have recommended many 12xx, 13xx and 10xx class  
HP LaserJets and they just keep going. You don't even need to install  
or download a driver for Mac OS X. I purchased a 1012 about 2 years  
ago and I haven't replaced the original toner yet.

I cannot directly speak on the Brother as an option, but a printer  
friend of mine is much more fond of HP, except for the 11xx and 13xx  
class of printers, which he says are difficult to repair.
