My HL-2030 printed with the toner initial supply of 785 pages (16.11.2007):
The exchange for the new cartridge TN-2000 is well documented and easy to perform.
A replenishment of the old toner cartridge is not possible, even if the plug is easily accessible. The pressure pointed out on a gray haze and toner stains.
So you have to be angry about the high price. The approximately 110-Eur pressure Erneuville price are about 54.-Eur Toner (depending on the retailer even more) compared to - Along with a new drum (about 70.-Eur / about all 10.000Seiten = 3-4 Toner.) This exceeds the original price of the printer far.
The old toner cartridge can return for free using the enclosed return sticker to Brother. Simply hand in the original package at the post office.
The toner was a CD-ROM with a new printer firmware in. Something incomprehensible was to determine if the serial number of my printer is covered by the update. The rest was easy. Per USB printer firmware is updated. Only what has changed or improved is nowhere.
The small B / W Laser Printer HL-2030 I use only in connection with a notebook. Due to the size, it can be well hidden somewhere "accommodate, but is quite noisy, otherwise compact, reliable and with good print image. Due to the high consumption costs of HL-2030 is not, however, suitable for an office.
Conclusion (17.01.2008):
+ Simple exchange
+ Free disposal of Brother
+ New firmware CD-ROM with the same case.
+ Good print
- Rather high printing costs
