[DM-MUG] Brother Laser printers

[John Kisner]

I bought a Brother HL-1650 laser printer roughly ten years ago.  I  
got it because it was the cheapest duplex printing option at the  
time.  Worked great.  It was getting very hard to find a toner  
cartridge last winter, so I went ahead and upgraded to a color  
Samsung laser.  The new printer is noisier and slower, so I guess  
color still has costs (beyond the extra dollars).
