There... edited profile, thanks

Frankly the only thing you should be worried about is up front cost and price of toner replacement. Differences in print quality and speed won't be nearly as noticeable as the first two.

i got a HP laserjet 1012 back for around $170. u could try to catch a PM on this for 150 from time to time. works like a charm for me so far (especially when i have to print a 30 pages report)

I bought the Lexmark E232 a few months back doing a PM with Stooples. It came out to be around 100 bucks all told, and it even came with a free SanDisk 128 MB USB drive! I wish I had bought 2 back then.

does anyone own a Brother HL 2030 Laser Printer? or any Brother printers? Please let me know if you are satisfy with the printer or not because i plan on purchasing either the Brother HL 2030 OR Samsung ML-1740

I have the Brother HL-1230 which was purchased around 2 yrs ago. I remember about half a year into using it, the print quality started to smudge. I followed the cleaning/maintenance instructions on the CD and still didn't improve.

Call up tech support and they were absolutely useless. They told "well if you followed the instructions and print quality is still poor, you should purchase a new toner cartridge". I was thinking "wtf, this printer is only half a year old and there are plenty of prints left on the cartridge, why would I purchase a new toner cartridge?"...plus the toner is more than the printer itself.

Called up twice and received the same answer. So I have never purchased a Brother laser printer ever again..........just my experience.

I am using a Samsung SF-565p, pretty happy with it.

I would stay away from Brother.
Samsung ML-1470 is a good choice, a refill toner yield of 3000 pgs will cost you about $10

Used to use a brother.

I had a problem with the drum after about 8000 pgs - no surprise there. Wish that I'd realized the problem instead of buying extra toner though.

Moved to Samsung, and have been VERY happy since.

I have no problem recomending Samsung, you'll be very happy.
