Agree with the earlier positive kyocera comments
We have a fleet of 10 Kyoceras purchased in mid 2003 - used an abused by
doctors in the dual bin and hand feed configuration
Older model obviously now - "kyocera mita FS 1010"
One was a bit lemony and has gone to the great landfill in the back blocks
Remaining 9 still strong but getting a little tired - bit smudgy despite a
service and clean - however still working!
Little to go wrong, easy to extract paper jams etc, easy to change toner
If used in the doctors rooms important to check "time to first page out" -
as obviously lots of stop start printing of scripts etc Some other printers
are fast BUT slow for the first page out!

Our old kyocera front desk printer needed a new drum after 10 years.
We got two new cheap printers and way more throughput for less money
than a replacement drum. (RAID principles applied to printers - 3
cheap ones could be bought for the price of a dear one and see which
prints pages faster.) I prefer an integrated toner/drum cartridge for
long-term print quality - no service costs.
Reusable drum is nice to environment, but print quality only goes off
over time - which does not figure on quoted TCO calculations.
When I was printer shopping a year ago, specification first page out
times ranged from 6 seconds to 15 seconds. The OKI won hands down
with 6 seconds. All the rest were 10-13 seconds.
Paper handling (number of trays + capacity of sheet feeder) was the
decisive difference amongst all the printers for me.
