As mentioned up top, toner costs for the HL-5470DW are very good--and if you shop around, they're outstanding. Using the suggested retail prices, the standard $77, 3000-page TN720 cartridge works out to 2.6 cents per page. Opt instead for the $125, 8000-page TN750, and you'll pay only 1.6 cents per page. That's an outstanding cost per page for any printer.

Though it may not be fancy or overly fast, the Brother HL-5470DW has all the connectivity options you'll need, as well as good-quality output and incredibly affordable toner. It would be nice, however, to see Brother upgrade its control-panel technology and design one of these days. If you're seeking alternatives, the is in the same price range as the HL-5470DW, but its toner is much costlier.
