Was not sure if best here or in "I wanna"....

Brother HL2040 Laser Printer

Any good?

I'm looking to print b&w letters, low volume, but high(ish) quality

Currently on sale @ Viking c £55

Any help, tips or advise appreciated

(oh Fran the "printer" link from the FAQ would not work for me this morning..)

Hi dell,

That printer (as with most Brother laser printers) looks suitable for the job you want it for. I have found a link where you can purchase refill toner from - see this: http://www.refilltoner.com/MachineProducts.asp?id=TN2000&manu=Brother&mach=HL%2D2040. You will probably want to read the home page of the site as well: http://www.refilltoner.com/

Thanks, tigermatt

I have a very old HP Laserjet 3P But it works fine and does exactly what i need it to(black&white prints) the quality is top notch. Im sure the Brother HL2040 being a newer model it will be fine too.

I've been using a brother HL2030 for 6 months now and wonder what I did before getting it.(still on the original cartridge, got a refil waiting. Don't buy new from brother, costs as much as the printer--nearly) Only problem now is the epson colour printer isn't used as much and sometimes blocks up.

I put it in my diary to give the printers a good Nozzle Check and head clean every few weeks as the nozzles do occasionally block up and can be a pain to sort out. Best to be safe than sorry! tigermatt
