My old Brother HL-1040 laser printer has bit the dust after six years of faithful service. It _might_ be possible to get it working again with a new drum unit, but those cost more ($175 US!) than a replacement printer. I'm planning on replacing it with a Brother HL-2040, another inexpensive laser printer. Linuxprinting.org says that the new printer is Linux compatible.
I have two questions for the list: 1. Has anyone had any experience with the HL-2040? 2. The new printer offers both USB 2.0 and parallel ports. Is there any reason to go the USB route? My inclination is to stay with parallel because (a) I'm down to one USB port and (b) I don't have to buy a USB cable. Regards, -- cmg
