I got a Brother HL-730 Plus ( 6PPM/true 600 DPI) about 4 years ago off of e-bay. Haven't yet had to replace the toner. I print envelopes all the time with no problems. And the Brother website has XP drivers for it. The toner is under $20 and the Drum kit is around $80 A couple of months ago I seen brand new HL-730 + printers selling for $75 on e-bay. Right now I only see the newer models going for $85- $149 Pc -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
