I've actually got my eye on that one for an upgrade in the future. There's another nifty trick I picked up about Brother toner cartridges. They use an infrared beam to determine when the toner cartridge is empty. The toner level goes low enough to allow the beam and - out of toner. However, it's barely at 50% capacity at this point so you can cover the holes on the cartridge with tape and actually run the toner all the way out. I do fairly light printing, but I'm still on the original cartridge going on 2 years now. I print about 40 pages a month at this point, when I bought the printer I had a need to print more often. --Henry /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
