This is the 4th 2240 I own in 7 months. Everytime it runs out of toner, the toner light lights up and never goes off. I have bought a NEW BROTHER replacement toner -- high capacity TN 450, substitute toner from Staples, substitute toner from [@], but it does not recognize any of them when you replace the cartridge. I never refilled any cartridge, so it should not invalidate manufacturer's warranty. However, Staples does not give you support when you're having trouble with printers, only computers. I only buy the printer when it is on sale for [$], but it ended up being too costly for me because I have to buy a new one everytime. I'm going back to HP.

          Comments about Brother® HL-2240 Mono Laser Printer:

          Printer is noisy.

          Starter cartridge good for 700 pages is a nasty touch. Tape over the lens into the cartridge to get more pages. This works for all Brother laser printers.

          The CD included didn't have current Mac drivers. Amazing, because the Mac drivers are open-source, CUPS drivers.

          Speed and clarity are fine.

          I'm disappointed in this as compared to previous Brother printers. I note that my local store does not carry replacement toner or drums. Perhaps it is a use-once-and-throw-away product.

          I bought it because I needed a printer on the weekend for a rush project. The drum on my existing printer died and the local store did not have a replacement in stock.
