Hi all--I'm new to the list...am in the process of upgrading from a Umax c600 to a Sawtooth 400 and a longtime subscriber to the Lowendmac Supermacs list. Anyway, I bought a Brother MFC-7300 nearly 2 years ago. A basic piece of junk, I would describe it. The drivers were atrocious and ink cartridges dried up almost as soon as they were unwrapped plus there are no knockoff cartridges for Brother machines. I wished I would've saved a few more pennies and went with a laser mechanism and HP. Few ever got fired choosing HP. Far more Mac friendly and industry standard. -- Pax, Pastor Mac Made on a Macintosh, of course.
