Office inkjet printers has come a long way to match laser/led printers. > Brother HL-L3270CDW Now I googled some, which can be dangerous at I bought a Brother HL-L8260CDW for my mother and it works perfectly fine for her, except it failes with out of memory for some photo print jobs, she has both linux and MS-Windows computers. ... > Duty Cycle: Up to 30,000 Would that be OK for a printer for home use, > likely heavy use the first couple months? ... Don't know what you classify as heavy use, but the 3270 looks like a small, light duty printer. /// Generally, when I look for printers my spec is: . postscript level 3 (or compatible) . duplex/tumble (up to 200g/m²) . A3 or larger . >= two paper trays + manual feed . up to 300g/m² . matte blacks (most (all?) new printers make glossy printouts) . clean, crisp and high resolution printouts . lots of memory, fast cpu . cable ethernet connection . lpr port (515) and 9100 . price range You havn't said your spec. so I cannot recommend anything for you. But going A4/letter, there is too many to choose from, so start with price range. Regards, /Karl Hammar
