Does anyone have recommendation? Our computer is about two years old. Thanks!   Brett Citizen Username: Bmalibashksa Post Number: 2123 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 19, 2006 - 8:36 am:        We have a MFC-420CN from Brother. Fax/Print/Copy/Scan/PC Fax/PhotoCapture. It works great for us, never knew how handy a fax machine was (Think ordering ethnic food to be delivered). Our camera memory card fits into it also, so we can print with out having to put the pictures on the laptop. We use it fairly often and haven’t had to replace the toner to often. The only issue that we’ve had is that if the any color is out, the printer won’t print any colors, even black. But we bought a few backup tones and haven’t had issues. When this one goes the only change I would make is getting a printer with an Ethernet port so that we can network it. Right now it’s a shared printer on our desktop, witch then connects to our wireless network. The Ethernet port would reduce 1 step.
