No, you misunderstood. It doesn't matter what side of the paper you 
print on. what matters is if you print on one side and then regularly 
use the back side to print other things, so as not to waste paper. I 
had my machine for 12 years. I was regularly saving used pages and 
printing on the backside. when you do that, over time, the laser toner 
adheres to some roller deep (and expensively) inside (expensive part, 
expensive repair). the the roller gets gunked up. then it starts not 
wanting to feed paper through any more and paper jams halfway through. 
there was no repairing the printer. Actually I could have bought the 
$250 part and had it put in, but considering the printer was 12 years 
old and I could get a faster, cheaper one for much less $, it was not 
worth it. Pennywise and pound foolish. the paper I "saved" cost me the 
life of my printer.

I have an HP 1012 which I bought a few months back to replace the 
HP4ML
that I had had for 12 years (it required a repair that would have cost
$250).  Warning: I had been using the back side of sheets to print and
eventually got toner fused to some roller--the moral of that story is
"It does not pay to do that because it ruins your printer". I like 
this
new HP 1012 printer very much. It's very quiet and very fast in
comparison to my old one. It cost me $149 on sale at Office Depot.
However, I think the 2300 might be networkable, which this one is not,
if you need networkable.
Hmm...that's news to me about the 4ML. I've been using mine for about 2
years since I got it at a yard sale. I never heard about that, but I
didn't get a manual with it. I am using mostly Office Multi Purpose 
paper
-- they don't have an arrow or anything on the packs that tell you 
which
side is the top, like some papers do, so I'm assuming that the side 
under
the top/front of the wrappers are the top. Now which way do I place it 
in
the tray so that the top side will get printed on? The little 
hieroglyphs
on the plastic tray don't seem to say.
Thanx,
