> Cost to print 5,000 B&W pages on my Brother laser: $25 ($12.50 per 2600-page generic toner).
I found an unused HP P2015dn at a family member's office. It came loaded with an aftermarket cartridge. I also found a new-in-box HP toner. Pages printed with the genuine HP part are much sharper. Maybe some generic cartridges are better than others... ?
The paper doesn't feed from the drawer anymore, but it feeds fine from the fold-down tray. It's got a wired network connection too, which works pretty well, except I can't print auto-duplex (manual-duplex only) over the network unless I'm printing from Chrome's printing dialogue (wth?).
Total pages printed: 60387
Duplex pages printed: 4279
Pages mispicked in printer: 783
Pages jammed in printer: 29
PCL6 pages printed: 48916
PS pages printed: 505
PCL pages printed: 12937
