Hi all, You might want to know what I did with all your advice. I bought the Brother HL-2070N that was recommended twice. It was $135 including tax with free shipping from Circuit City. The other printer is sitting here. I'm undecided about what to do with it. I may still try to fix it - I miss the good manual sheet feed already - or find a home for it. Meanwhile, I can print and get back to work. Thanks so much for chiming in. You saved me HOURS of research. Annamarie On Jan 29, 2008, at 12:56 PM, Frank Aronson wrote: > I concur with Tom Kopec.
