Can't speak for the refurb, but my new 5440CN is awesome, got it from fry's for $49 with no rebate a little while back, does everything. Built in ADF, built in networking, cartridges are unbelievably cheap. $29 is a great deal, even better if you can stack some coupons.

what is the 4% ebates?

Interestingly enough, OD has Refurb Brother 5840 on sale for $50 AR ($90-$40 Rebate).

5840 adds a second paper tray, 16M memory for faxes, Photocapture center (Memory card reader), ability to print to legal paper.

Since these are older models, information is scarce on these machines. Here is a link to sales brochure for these machines http://www.staples.com/sbd/img/rebates/pdfs/575216.pdf

Edit: Forgot to add, this thing uses Brother LC41 series ink carts which cost about $1 on eBay. Separate carts for black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow.

Edit: cart is LC41 and not LK41 as I mistyped earlier.

Great price. I recomend this machine at a lot higher price. I use this Brother 5440CN machine in my office as a fax/scanner/light copier. It works great. It is black/white laser toner not color inkjet. Only quirk is I can't get it to scan legal size paper. And never use any other laser toner than genuine Brother toner. The same for Brother inkjets. I paid $100 for this machine three years ago and it is still going.

OOS already, that was fast!

Is it compatible with Vista?
