in that case, Brother make some quite cheap printers.
Don't panic when the supplied toner cartridges run out quickly,
they're only ever 40% full. It's a "courtesy" from the printer
manufacturers as Brother once told me over phone.
I had a really really bad experience with one of their printers which is
funny enough to share. It wasn't entirely their fault, admittedly. I was
trying to sort out an exam paper (*setting* exams can be traumatic too)
which had ancient greek in it, and Word was misbehaving, randomly
spacing it very badly. I finally got it sorted out about 2 am (it was
due at 5pm that day) and sent it to my Brother laser printer. But it
came out with a black stripe down it. Knowing that using another printer
the next day would take me back into the Greek issues (this was long
before print to pdf), kept fiddling with it, eventually giving up about
4 am (the drum was knackered, it seems). I was by now covered with
printer toner up to my elbows.
I gave up, went to wash it off and found that there was no water. I
looked out of the window to see a Thames water van messing around with
the water mains.
I was lucky in the end -- I discovered my flatmate had filled the kettle
before going to bed and managed to clean up all the black smudges on the
doors, the kettle, the cloths before collapsing into bed.
I bought a new drum and sold the printer straightaway. I could never
trust it again...
