If you have a Brother HL-1040, HL-1050, HL-1060 or MFC-P2000, be aware that they are the subject of a factory recall campaign. There is a problem with the fuser cartridges (the expensive one) that can cause a fire. Details are available at www.brother.com/usa. They'll give you the name of whoever handles Brother service in your area. You'll have to take the printer there along with a printed copy of the recall page, and they will replace the fuser cartridge. In my case (Raleigh NC), the local guy says that the fusers are on backorder, and they wouldn't/couldn't give me a date when they will have the replacements. Moral: Call ahead. The upside is that mine is almost 4 years old, and was probably due for replacement soon.
Even though this message may be OT, I'm posting it because the recall has not been widely publicized. I only found out about it by accident when I visited the Brother site for another purpose and saw this little note up in the corner of their home page. For some reason, Brother doesn't seem to have made any attempt to directly contact registered owners, although they've never hesitated to send me e-mails about their latest and greatest. (And yes, I _did_ register my printer.) HTH someone -- -- cmg
