I need to replace one of my Brother printers and am looking for a replacement. I have had luck in recent years with Brother printers: - HL-5250DN (needs to be replaced) - HL-5370 - working OK
I only need a B/W printer with an Ethernet interface. Toner usage is important. Average pages per day will range from 20-50. Brother recently improved with their Linux drivers; installing one under Gentoo from RPM (with minor adjustments) was ok. Looking at Brother web-page, they have: - HL-L5200DW - 8000 pages per $177.49 toner seems OK It has "Advanced security features to help protect sensitive documents" I don't know what that is, have to ask Brother. However, http://www.openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/Brother does not mention this model, so I have no reference as to how well it works with Linux. HL-L2360DW - Seems OK but it only makes 2,600-pages per $100/toner; this is NOT OK. I used to have HP but I don't like their toners with chip technology, so NO HP, unless they have changed. Any other recommendations? -- Thelma
