Need printer for B&W proofs

[Ca Bob]

I've had a couple or three brother machines, and every one either had an original issue or broke down and started spewing parts. My original HP laser printer lasted forever and always worked fine. I think I replaced it after 15 years or so because the new ones are much faster. Now using Canon three in ones that work fine.

I would like to reread the original jokey response to the question about the black and white proofs that appeared on DM in what -- 2001 or so?
