Great value for money printer for home/small office use.
At home I leave the printer switched on & connected to a network all the time, so the kids can use for homework etc. - Bad points:
-
Print quality is not as vibrant as some printers, however this can be adjusted in the setup.
When replacing toner carts, it was more cost effective to purchase a new printer and claim the cashback. This can't be the best poilcy for the environment.....

Printers Buying GuideManufacturer's Description
The HL-4040CN can print up to 20ppm in mono and colour thanks to single pass print technology. It’s also one of the safest printers in its class, thanks to SSL, ensuring that unsecured data passing over the network cannot be accessed by other users.

no one is selling it, we're sorry to say,
not 400 retailers nor anyone on eBay,
but please don't worry even if it hurts,
