I am on my second Brother laser printer, an HL-5140, which I've had for several years. Can't remember which Brother model I had previously. Before that I used an HP Laserjet 4L - which I still have, and still works at 4 ppm, since 1995. I've taken it with me whenever I've worked and lived away from the house.

She wanted a MFP so we could make copies and scan paperwork to send to the colleges the kids went to (you would not believe the amount of documents colleges demand to consider financial aid nowadays). Right after she bought it I showed her how to print anything in just black & white. She forgets to do that regularly but not every time.
