Fred, I second not only the recommendation for Brother color laser printers
but also the bloatware issue.  The trick is to never install the printer
from the accompanying CD!  Instead, go to their support site
(http://support.brother.com/), find the printer, and download not the "Full
Driver & Software Package" but the just the "Printer Driver" instead.
You'll get a clean install without all the other troublesome software.

By the way, never let Windows automatically install the drivers for a
Brother printer itself; it's never come out right in my experience.  Always
install the drivers manually.

Mike

Thanks Fred!

The one challenge I have had with Brother was that they LOVE to install
software! Their printers come with enough software to rival HP for "number
of utilities installed." Are their consumables reasonably priced?

Anyone else had good times with a mid-range color laser? $300 to $600 price
range?
