[DM-MUG] Brother Laser printers

[Matthew W.]

Whoa sorry! You're right, Ray. That's bad mojo I'm spreading. HP does  
this every once-in-awhile, deleting Mac support from specific models,  
but I'm behind the curve on these models. Stupid practice from a Mac  
perspective, but profit is profit. Stand by, I'm investigating.

I still prefer HP, but you might also check out Samsung. I've read  
that they've made some good Lasers lately too.
