Peter,
My office had the non-duplexing version of the printer. The performance and reliability is one of the reasons I won't purchase another printer from Brother. Print quality was good for a while but by the time I stopped using it dropped to mediocre at best. The printer uses color toner even when set to black and white only mode. The cartridges have a habit of leaking. The cost of replacement toner is outrageous, especially since it requires new color toner cartridges even though we produced very little actual color output. That's a scam, IMO. We still have the printer at my office in our warehouse. It's collecting dust despite it being a fully functional printer because we refuse to put another dollar into it. We spent the $$$ that would've been used towards toner for the Brother on a little black and white network laser from HP and a cheap color inkjet all-in-one as a replacement for it and haven't looked back.
