Just for everyone, especially those in the NYC. J and R Music world, www.jr.com is selling this all in one for $69.99. The sale is good only until 12/6/2008. The bad news is there will be a shipping charge so it probably will not be worth it with the S/H. But if you are in NYC, that an extra $5 less.

Buy.com must have run out. It's weird that they're steering people to J&R, but maybe they have a partnership with them or something.

Well, its still 79.99 at Office Max. I think I'll eat the tax and save the shipping and by it in store. I've been eying the Brother Brand and now athat my Scanner went belly up I am ready to pull the trigger

Why bother Brother is simply the worst printer ever! Not even for free!

I've had a Brother mfc 210c for over 4 years, and it just finally gave up the ghost. I've loved that printer, I bought it on sale at office Depot for 89.00 and change, it had a small footprint and it was decent on ink. But then again, I got my ink for about 4.50 for a refilled cartridge. That's the only reason I'm buying another Brother, the first one was trouble free until it just wore out.

Benoneya, you are the only one! In my experience these printers guzzle ink and the software and support are the worst of all manufacturers! I got mine at Staples and in just a few short months it was in the recycler .
