Paul, thanks for you in depth reply. I will do just what you said, and I already have my coffee. I have asked about the Brother 7820N at my local Office Depot and they say it is discontinued (I don't always get correct info there). They were able to locate one at another store for $149. That would not be a large investment, and as you said, we could live with it for a while, and if it does not work out we could ues it as an additional printer.
