30 watts in standby??!!! I'm glad mine isn't turned on.. I've got a spare jet direct card for one if anyone has need. <BR>
<BR>
I should offer the hp4p as well as its only gathering dust. Ok, one hp4p with jet direct card working with toner (last time I used it) and a jet direct card to anyone that has need.<BR>
<BR>
Contact me off list, no cost just pick it up.<BR>

How is the energy usage? My LaserJet 4 uses 30 watts in standby mode :(
Also, post here the second you find out if your printer truly supports postscript. I've
been looking for a laser printer for my dad's machine and this model might fit the bill.

No problem. Hardware shopping with a long list of requirements can be
difficult, especially when low cost is one of them. I spent about 2
days deciding on a printer model to replace my aging (built in 1985!) HP
Laserjet IIISi and somewhat less aged and less capable HP Laserjet 6MP.
I've had the HL-2070N in my possession now for a few days. I've only
tested network printing using LPD queues over TCP/IP with the hl1250
driver at the highest supported resolution (1200x600 DPI). The
combination works excellently, with essentially no setup (assigning an
IP to the printer, selecting the appropriate queue). The printer claims
Postscript as well as PCL6 support as well, although I have yet to test it.
I've got a small pages up at:
<A HREF="http://narrow-band.net/index.php/Brother_HL-2070N_Laser_Printer">http://narrow-band.net/index.php/Brother_HL-2070N_Laser_Printer</A> to keep
notes on the printer. It's linked to from the linuxprinting.org entry
as well.
So far, I'm really happy with it. It's fast (although it doesn't seem
quite as fast as my IIISi - but it's really close). The real-world
controls (4 LEDs and a single button) leave something to be desired, and
the web interface isn't the most intuitively constructed. That said, it
has every feature I've ever needed in a laser printer and a whole lot
more (it can email error messages, groks mDNS, apparently has some
SNMP-ability, and a ton of tunable knobs like sleep time, etc). It's a
great deal for the money.
Let me know if you have any questions.
