Me too - mine's been running like a champ since '92. It will probably last forever.
My parents just bought a Brother MFC-8420 this summer. It works great - prints, copies, scans and faxes and I have yet to see a problem. When they move into their new house this summer, I'm planning on buying them the network adapter for the printer. That will be sweet - network scanning, copying, faxing and not to mention printing - anywhere from the house. They got the printer from Dell for about $340 after rebates - not too shabby when list is about $699.
The new model is the MFC-8440 - ups the ppm from 17 to 21 - not significant, but its the replacement for sale on Dell. Sometimes they run the $35 of $400 deals + free shipping, that can bring the printer down to $320 if you live in a state without tax. Definitely worth picking up if you are interested in a flatbed/sheetfed MFC.
