My old Epson finally gave up the ghost around 10 months ago, which lead me to look for a new Printer to hopefully last me the next 5 years.
I eventually chose the Brother HL6050. Although this machine is probably the largest of the ones I looked at, it is by far the best. 42cm deep, and 31 cm tall.
Incredibly quick printing, for the price (24ppm - pages per minute), and a paper tray which holds a full ream (500 sheets).
You can use traditional cables, or USB or Infra red. I use USB, as this is very quick and reliable, unlike the infrared.
One very useful function is the reprint function. If you have just printed out a document, and need another, simply press the reprint button, tell it how many copies you require, and press go, and they are reprinted for you. This can be very useful if printing from a document on screen which has crashed, or which you forgot to save.
Another wonderful feature is the dual side printing. Gone are the days of printing side one, then taking the pages, trying to work out which direction they need to be placed in the tray, and then printing side two, only to discover it's printing on top, or the wrong way around. With dual side printing, it prints side one, and then automatically takes the page back again, and prints side two, before finally dispensing the page in to the tray. Amazing!
It does make a bit of a noise though when working, although in fairness, then it's not working it is silent, unlike some printers which seem to be constantly making some kind of noise.
Toner cartridges are around £55, and a new drum is £71. A toner cartridge will last for around 7500 according to the manufacturers specification, although it all depends on the coverage of the page. with my last toner, I got over 18000 copies !. At that rate it works out at 30p per 100 copies.
To summaries, a very reliable machine, with good functionality, and low running costs. If you are short of desk space, you might have to look elsewhere though.
