If you can run this off a server via USB, I'd strongly recommend it over yesterday's deal on the MF4570d2. I picked up an earlier version of this in 2007 (plus another in 2009) and they are true workhorses. Great performance.
Mono puts me to sleep..
"workhorse" printer but only 2k page cartridges... must be a short work day. At least inexpensive 3rd party carts seem to be available.
#3: common practice to include 'starter cartridges' these days... Annoying but they all seem to do it. I have this and like it a lot.
#3 Knows that. Based on numerous useful comments he's made I assume he's making a different point?
In any case, I've already said this a dozen times, but: the Canon MF series (I've always wanted to say that!) takes the ubiquitous 104 cartridge. As #3 likes to point out, you can either (a) refill it yourself, or (b) buy it super-cheap (<$20) on Amazon from third-party.

And when I say "workhorse" I don't mean an office of 20 people. More like a normal human who prints <100 a day.
What DOES piss me off, though, is the tray only handles like ~100 sheets. I hate refilling the tray!

Even at 100 a day... that's only 20 days.
Granted to get all the improvements one can think of you'd spend closer to $300 than $100 but for some uses it's worth it... there's a big difference in scan quality for example, between the cheap and more expensive AIOs like a Brother MFC-8480dn, which has the networking, 250 sheet tray, and takes 8K page carts including 3rd party cart or bulk toner support.
Gee, sounds grim when you put it that way!
