Not bad! I've been looking for a laser with wireless, though. Any
recommendations?

If you don't need the fax or sheet feeder:
<http://www.staples.com/Brother-Refurbished-EHL-2280DW-Laser-Multi-Function-Printer/product_125551?akamai-feo=off>
$100.

Or with both:
<http://www.staples.com/Brother-MFCL2700DW-Mono-Laser-AllInOne-Printer/product_1174233?tid=5051&akamai-feo=off>
$130.

Note that these are all "refurbished" and use the same cheap TN450
toner cart.  All that I have ever received looked brand new and not
used.  I have a huge pile of carts that I was saving for refilling,
but at the current price for clone carts, it's not worth the effort.

Brother has a newer line of printer, which might be worth
investigating.  They're easily identified by the color LCD display and
faster print engine.  However, they use a different tone cartridge and
I haven't worked on any yet.

The scan directly to Dropbox etc feature seems like a useful feature.
