My daughter bought this printer for her office (she does accountancy & bookkeeping) about SIX years ago. She upgraded to a more powerful model after two years (Brother of course) and we now have the original as the main printer for the main home computer - it is black and white, but we don't have any call for colour.

Having, in the past had FOUR so-called excellent printers, by HP, Lexmark, et al , which required ink cartridges, I can only say that the Brother HL-1230 leaves them all standing at the starting gate. It is only on its second toner cartridge and we do a fair amount of printing. There is also the fact that with a laser printer there are no ink cartridges to dry out.

The initial monetary outlay may be a little more but is more than compensated for by not having to buy ink cartridges, which do not last anywhere near as long as the toner ones.

The speed, clarity and over-all excellence of the printer is fantastic. Occasionally a piece of paper may jam but it is simplicity itself to fix. It is also unobtrusive in that it's square and does not take up a lot of space

I suppose the poor old thing is getting old now, but my maxim is 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Anyway our mad cat loves it because as you switch it on the side vent where the cooling fan is makes a humming noise which he loves. He is still mystified as to where a printed page comes from and spends a lot of time peering into the outlet aperture!

I heartily recommend this make of printer as the model HL-2040 now used by daughter is just as reliable and efficient.
