I had a LexMark for a while and didn't like it -- but that was in part because the available driver for the Mac OS wasn't ready for prime time. I understand the Brother printers are reliable, but don't have the features of the HP units. (this may be incorrect or out-of-date information) that 's my two cents Frank <hr id="zwchr">From: "Bert W.

I'm in the market for a new laser printer. I'll be attaching it to my small office network, so it must have ethernet hookup. 4 out of 5 computers are running Ubuntu, so Linux compatibilty is a must. I've had old HP laserjets that never died, never jammed and never complained. (my LJ4 Plus for example). So I'm kind of partial to HP laserjets, but I don't think that the quality is the same now as it was back in the glorious '90s. On the other hand, what else is out there? Lexmark? Brother? I know nothing about the reliability or reputation of those guys. So if you were in my shoes, and had a budget of up to $200 to spend on a monochrome laser, what would you get? All opinions are welcome. All I know is that if I make the wrong decision, I'll be re-enacting the printer destruction scene in "Office Space".
