Brother HL-2170W Wireless Laser Printer for $90 + free shipping Setting up a Brother printer can be hair raising. To get the low price they have cobbled together a bunch of open source software for the printer's controller and the documentation is slim. So if you are good with Linux or know a

I'd recommend a Brother printer. They are relatively inexpensive and I've had good luck with them. They have been very easy to use with my Macs. The MSRP of HL-2070N is $129.99, but I've seen them on sale for $99. While I do not have my Brother printer networked, a friend of mine bought
