[Hidden-tech] Laser printer choice?

[Deborah Chandler]

Hi everyone,

I remember recently seeing lots of discussion about inkjet and laser  
printers on this list, but can't seem to find the posts in my  
archives. Nor can I find the forum area on the Hidden Tech website.  
(If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful)

My Canon S820 ink jet printer is beyond repair, as its black  
printhead seems permanently clogged and a replacement one seems to be  
between $69-99. Trust me, I have tried everything, including 3  
different solvents and overnight soaks, per several different  
websites on the topic. It is frustrating that the inkjets are made as  
throwaways. But that's too long a discussion for now...

So, I am ready to go back to a laser printer. I see that there is a  
Brother HL-2040 Laser Printer at Staples for only $69.98 with coupon  
and rebate (from an original $119.98)

Could someone give me feedback on this printer for its price range? I  
see a review in PC World that says the downside is light print  
quality. Yes, I am a graphic designer but I don't need camera-ready  
artwork these days, just good enough to show as a proof.

Thanks,
Deb Chandler
