Sounds like a great deal and much cheaper to run than my Brother HL1430
which is a nice little machine. Can the drum/toner be replaced with a
new one? Cost?

Hai folks
I asked about a month ago about what would be a good mono laser printer,
for a small office setup.
Some of the information was very useful, and I thank everyone.
So what did I end up buying, well after running the slide rule over
everything I ended up getting a Kyocera FS-820, the main reasons being
very low TCO compared to all the printers I looked into.
The two main factors were the up front price of only $320ex, and that I
don't have to change the drum for 100,000 pages (you just buy another
printer).
It works fine with Linux (don't use it with Mandrake 10.1 there is a
PCL/lp0 bug in the kernel easily fixed by updating to a kernel 2.6.10 or
later).
I have no commercial relationship to Kyocera so this is all a personal
decision.
Regards
Richard Neal
