Moose, I am also a Brother all in one user, couldn=E2=80=99t be happier. It=E2=

As for the HP color laser, a friend was required to buy particular HP printe=
r years ago because of the software he was using. Toner was expensive but si=

 the toners when printing black & white & that couldn=E2=80=99t be turned of=
f. My point is you might want to watch color toner consumption.=20

Maybe try that and give up on the scanner for now.=20
