We use a Brother HL5040 at our office - it's been a GREAT workhorse. I
refill the toner myself and haven't replaced a drum yet (supposed to
have about 5000 copies ago =) Works well via USB under Linux yada yada.
Hope this helps...
Cheers

I've fairly much decided to stick with a laser as the cost per page is
substantially less than that of an inkjet so if anyone can recommend a
good value laser for light duty use I'd appreciate it.
Brother HL2040 from Bond & Bond, Riccarton Mall recently. 600 dpi,
claimed 20 ppm, toner and drum replaced separately ($70 for 2500 copies
and $200 for 12 000 copies). Parallel and USB. I couldn't see any
specified differences between it and the next model at $450.
The staff are completely ignorant but well-meaning and willing. They
pushed things off a desk in the cluttered office so I could google for
reassurance, and they gave me a week to return it if it didn't work
under Linux.
Price $250 less 10% for cash.
