Brother HL-1440

Pros: Reliable, inexpensive, perfect Linux compatibility

Cons: Wish the paper tray had a larger capacity

Summary: I've had this printer for many years. I'm not a real heavy printer, but when I've got a large print job, this printer is a workhorse. It is pretty quick to come out of sleep mode, and I've never had a single paper jam. That's more than I can say for many of the HP's I've used over the years.

The memory was very easy to upgrade. I do wish it had a larger capacity paper tray, but considering I paid less than a hundred bucks for this printer that is a very minor issue.

One of my favorite aspects of this printer is that it is very well supported in Linux, and even the Windows drivers don't load up your system with useless, memory-hogging utilities.

The build quality is surprisingly good, without being too heavy.

I highly recommend this printer.
