My neighbor down the way has a Brother that he has been very happy with. ?I 
didn't say much because I'm not sure of the exact model number and he's not 
around to tell. ?Anyhow he bought generic toner from eBay and has always 
loved how cheap it is and well it performs.

Good luck!

Thanks to everyone! I have been reading a few reviews, including 
customer reviews on Amazon. As several folks have indicated, Brother 
printers seem to be a better deal. There is a Brother 5470dw on big sale 
now at the usual outlets. It looks like it will fit the bill nicely. The 
major customer complain on Amazon is that its initial warmup surge can 
trip modern circuit breakers that include Ground Fault Interrupt 
protection. My house is old enough not to have them, we just have 
ordinary circuit breakers, and GFI outlets in the bathrooms.? So I think 
I will be OK. Everything else sounds great, and the toner is much less 
expensive than HP.
