Brother HL-2040

Brother HL-2040: The Brother HL-2040 is an inexpensive, fast, noncolor laser printer for a home or sole-proprietor business. It's decent at printing text, so-so at graphics, and quick at both. As with the similarly priced Samsung ML-1740, what you see is what you get: a nonexpandable 250 sheets of paper capacity and 8MB of RAM. On the plus side, the HL-2040 works with operating systems from Windows 95 through XP and with Macintosh OS 9.1, 9.2, OS X 10.2.4, or higher. It also has a speedy 96MHz processor, plus both a parallel and a USB 2.0 port. By contrast, the Samsung ML-1740 snubs Macs, and it sports a slower USB 1.1 port with only a 66MHz processor
