Brother MFC-7420 - all-in-one $ 249.00 at staples

I can not find anything on the printer, which is $ 249.00 at Staples after $ 50.00 rebate. Prints up to 20 ppm, the memmory is 16MB, is flatbed. HP 3015 prints up only 15 ppm, and has more memmory - 32MB. Any input ? TIA

I have used hp printers for 20 plus years and tried a brother one time and it is still sitting and just being used as a fax machine as it never did work right. Go for the HP. I would not even consider another printer, just my opinion. I have 5 hp printers for our business, not perfect, just better.

Here is an HP 3015 for $189.00 plus shipping. It is refurbished and comes with a 1 year HP warranty. I bought mine here and have had NO trouble whatsoever with it. I received the printer 1 day after paying for it.

Go for HP also...I have a Brother MFC8220. You could not cheat on the toner. HP toner cartridge can be refilled if you buy toner. On the Brother, everythime I refill the cartidge, I could not use it anymore. Too much toner comes out resulting in a smeared or black streaked copies or prints. I have tried it many times and nothing worked. Brothers are very expensive printers to keep. On the other hand, my HP Laserjet 1300 is working like a horse. I could refill the cartidge at least 6 times (saving me almost $600) before I will need a replacement.

I have this printer, and have had no problems. It prints quickly. I can print a set of loan docs with around 100 pages around five minutes. It is not a dual tray though, but it is just a easy to switch out papers for me. I am pleased with it.

Does this Brother handle all of the different types of e-docs that can be sent like the PCL6 requirements? Thanks.

I was checking out this printer also. I did find a page (on the Brother website) which describes this printer and its capabilities. I can send you the link if you send me your email address. (My email address is: [e-mail address].)

By the way, under "emulations", this printer has "no" which means it doesn't have the PCL6 that everyone says we need to do edocs. Just so you know.

Hope this helps.
