I don't know whether that model is still available, but I'll look into it. I tried a Brother 2270dw, which is extremely popular, but the print darkness was not good, and when I tried to do the fixes that Brother came up with, I found that they were not available to me. Brother help people didn't know what to do and led me to try a million things without any success. I gather that as with some other manufacturers, quality has gone down as prices did, ditto.

I also tried the fancier Brother 5370dw, because it was supposed to have better image quality. That one was pale also, and it gets much worse reviews, all over.

The Samsung I read about today, ML-2525W may not even be available anymore. As I said, though, it seemed to have all that I want, except for the dealbreaker, that it doesn't get along well with Macs. I don't know whether that is true for more than the two or three reviewers (on CNET reviews) who had that problem, but it was sobering enough for me to seek more enlightenment here. If anyone with a Mac has had good experiences with that Samsung or another similar printer, I'd like to hear about it.

I apologize to you, too, for posting twice. My only excuse is that I've just come off an editing project that I've been doing (literally) night and day for a couple of weeks, and I was just fuzzy in the head and didn't see that my old post was still around. I'll be more careful in the future. I'll also check out user reviews for the Brother that you recommend. Thanks again.
