duplex AIO laser printer?

[kap]

Is there such a device? If yes, which brand and model is highly recommended? This will be our second printer. We need the fax, scanner and copier more than other function. TiA

Is there a cheaper, non-duplex AIO (preferably with Ethernet) everybody likes?

brother makes some of those as well

you could look at xerox if you have a bigger budget

we snagged the brother MFC-8860DN on sale a while back for $420 delivered from costco... it's been great; highly recommend it, does duplex everything. costco also has a duplex print only model, the 8660 that was on coupon in store for $320 (now back to $400 at last visit) a couple of months ago. only difference is 8860 has duplex feed unit for scanning/faxing/copying in addition to the duplex printing. if you were alluding to wanting the duplex in your "we need..." functions, you'll enjoy your 8860 after you get it B)

only minor negative we noticed, is that the darn thing had a bit too much of an oder when we first got it when printing more than a couple of pages. it must have been like new car smell, because the stink factor has noticeably subsided since w/ longer print runs to no longer be an issue.

or you just got used to the smell. ask a visitor if they notice the stink factor or not.

I have the older MFC-8840DN. The printer's duplex failed after a couple of years, most of the duplex pages will be offset by half a page. But that's better than the HP it replaced, whose scanner went wild and made grinding noises almost all the time.

I have purchased a few of the Dell 1815dn printers over the last few months...and I have to say that I am quite impressed. Great price...ethernet/USB/parallel....good quality, speedy, batch scanning, USB port on front for quick input/prints...and even pretty sharp looking...$399 - perhaps less with online coupons, etc.

For the price...many features packed into it.

Lexmark also has a couple models that are great...even some color models (i.e. X500n) around $499. I have had some good use with them in the past (older X422 models).
