This is a habit they I haven't had to deal with here. They only purchase genuine toner.
Lucky you. I have seen it done both ways, and non-OEM almost never works out well. Usually results in lots of printer replacements.

@DustinB3403 thats good because the manufacturers put chips in them and 1 out of every 7 at my old job (third party toners) straight up didn't recognize the toner and would not work. I would have to return them every couple of weeks by shipment. Complete waste of time and money.

This. Also, non-OEM are generally refurbished OEM cartridges, so you're taking fresh, non-OEM toner and putting it in a cartridge that has run its life course and trying to make it work? Bad idea...

Could not agree more.

I know they are generally refurbished cartridges because companies like the retailer I worked at takes old cartridges and sends them back. It's one of the things they do. So yeah, just don't go down that path.

Xerox is alright, we've got them here and they're..... still printers, but I guess they're better than what we had before.
The Phaser 3320 with extra tray would do you I think

If $1000 is your hard cap: http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-laserjet-enterprise-m604dn This seems like a beast.

With something that does duplexing, the ability to flip every other page so reading the page in a 3-ring binder would be a great feature.
Our existing printer can't do this.
Edit: It can duplex, but it doesn't flip the page for easy reading in a binder.

With the binder vertical and not horizontal. (make sense?)

That may cost more than 1k. I've seen that on copiers and printers with finishers etc. Have you guys considered leasing?

We do lease our postage machine, but not printers. At some point (before my time) the business decided to buy a random assortment of printers and is still using them until they die.
-
And the finishing feature isn't a mandate at all. Currently the failing printer is a HP Laserjet P3015, which doesn't have this today.
Just a nicety that I could see saving some paper by using duplex flipped functionality.

Ha this made me laugh a bit....
As if it's crack or weed.
Just say MSRP.
Often MSRP doesn't match the expected shelf price. So I'm not sure what's weird about this?

All that is as a feature is changing the nature of the duplex, and which way it flips the page. Brothers have had that feature standard (for choosing) for over a decade. No issues here.

I actually applaud Brother for doing this. Because, as Dash said, MSRP usually doesn't equal the actual price it is on sale.

My point was that of "street value" as if it were stolen and being sold on some corner!
Eh it fell off that back of a truck...

I suppose I can understand that - but I hear non direct selling businesses us that term all the time. Yeah I MSRP my widget at $19.99, but the average street price is more like $14.99.
An MSRP is normally nothing more than a recommended resale price. In some rare cases - Apple comes to mind first - the manufacturer sets the RP (Retail Price), they don't have a MSRP (Manufacture Suggested Retail Price).

When you talk about projects you've done... always mention the MSRP
More impressive to mention that you approved and setup three Ricoh 100,000PPM MFPC that cost $34,000 each than the $11,000 you paid for them.

Why does the cost of the equipment matter? If you're impressed simply because someone was able to spend a shit-load of cash, I think your priorities are misplaced.
