Intrigued by the hugely favorable reviews for Brother printers. I like appliances (printer or otherwise) that just work. If I ever have to buy a printer again, I'll seriously consider Brother. I currently use HP InkAdvantage 2135. Everyone at home uses Linux and it works flawlessly. Didn't have to particularly install anything for printing. After reading the comments here, I'm starting to believe that we got lucky. Here are the downsides of my HP: 1. You cannot print a lot of pages on a single cartridge. They claim just 480, but I would put the realistic number to below 400 pages. And the cartridges are NOT cheap. 2. No auto-duplex 3. No wireless connectivity option for this particular printer. But I knew about 2 and 3 while making the purchase, so it's not really a downside. However, considering that Brother printers are cheaper and paper yield is substantially higher, I feel that I should've bought that instead. I'm secretly hoping my existing printer goes kaput :)
