[X-HW] Laser printers (brother vs. HP)

[Rob Griffiths]

Hmm, I've had the opposite experience with Brother printers. We have a
Brother HL-1270N, with PostScript, Ethernet, and no proprietary drivers
-- just a PPD file that I copied from OS 9, and it works like a champ.
I print to it from a desktop G4, a wireless iBook, and a couple of
Windows boxes without any problems.  I think it cost around $600 new,
and I've yet to put a toner
