what's a good Brother all-in-one printer for home use?

[shmu26]

I don't need color
I don't need high speed
but I need reliability.
I print mainly 1-3 pages at a time. light to medium use.
I print documents.
what is a good model?

try looking at the tonner catrige set up. i like hp and samsung printers as the tonner and fuser is one piece. when you replace one you replace both. you have to look at cost between one and two piece set ups. ink jets if you dont use them clog a lot. with a laser printer the tonner is stable as long as it not heated up.

20.00 more and has an all in one tonner.
50.00 for 2,500 pages. cost you .02 per page in costs.

thanks.
I just watched a youtube about changing that fuser on the brother laser printers, and it looks like it could be a bit tricky for the mechanically challenged.
I think I should go for an inkjet. I print often enough that the cartridge doesn't dry out.
Brother seems to have good customer satisfaction rate.

my brother has the brother printer with the all in one tonner. you just pull the pastic zip line off of it and slide the unit in and your done. laser are faster and the printing better on them. also less on a laser set up to fail then an ink jet.

sounds good to me.
I looked at that link you sent me about the Brother printer, couldn't see where it talks about the all in one toner. What's that feature called?
