[dba-Tech] Not as easy as it sounds

We've had two Brother MFCs for several years, a 445 and a 665, each for 
about $100, each still prints, scans, photocopies and faxes flawlessly. 
3P cartridges come in at $1-$2 each and work fine. I think the current 
versions of these models are MFC-795 at $110 amd MFCJ265W at $100.
