Thanks, I think I'd have to agree with laser and I figure as much printing as we do, it would probably pay over the long-term to just go with laser. The nice thing with laser from what I understand is that you can refill your own if you choose for a very reasonable price.

I use a Brother something or another for business and it has been working for two years with absolutely no problems. I just do simple printing, faxing, copying all with black and white print jobs. I don't know about the interface because I use it as a stand alone machine but they are solid as they come. I also feel that lazer is better for the money weather or not it's cheaper upfront or not simply because it last longer.

Folks,

I've been doing some research on all in one printer, scanner, and fax machnes. I have found a Brother MFC-5460CN and a wireless version of this unit which is an ink jet and the MFC-9840 series which is wired and wireless units and this is a color laser. Now what made me consider this particular brand is the fact that apparently you can utilize the scanner, printer, and fax functions from the Mac. I'd like to know a few things.

1. Does anyone know if there is an Epson or HP unit that would allow the same abilities.
2. Do you know if Brother is a reliable brand like HP.
3. It seems that although laser is more expensive, does provide a little better quality print, it does out last ink jets in terms of those cases where you don't print as much since the ink jet uses liquid ink which is of course going to dry up at some point.

Does anyone know if the ink jets have improved to make it worth paying less for the unit up front and then just replaces cartriages every six to eight months? Actually the one thing that Brother does offer and I think some of the more expensive HP printers allow you to replace some cartriages as opposed to all of them since they are split into multiple cartriages of different colors.

tnx
