I actually bought two when they were on an absurd sale. (The cost of a second printer was about the same price as a set of toner cartridges) Unfortunately, that turned out to be a good idea as one of the two stopped working after about a year or so. The other one is flakey and often my Ubuntu systems can't talk to it over the Ethernet. I bought a $99 LexMark all-in-one monochrome laser (with duplexer) and use the HP so rarely I'm not even sure it it works. (Note: After 5 minutes of fiddling just now I managed to get a test page out.) Exec. Summary: I wouldn't reccomend HP 2605dn.
