Brother MFC-J6910DW and HL-2250DN
I recently purchased a Brother MFC-J6910. An excellent multi function centre that allows for scanning of up to A3 size paper. You are able to set up a number of scan locations if you're scanning to PDF (or images) or you can use it as a pseudo-photocopier (I'd argue more useful in most small office situations). The ADF (sheet feeder) will accommodate up to 35 sheets of paper.

The J6910 has two trays so you are able to load A3 and A4 paper.

All in all a fantastic, reliable, easy to use (and set up) MFC. If you get stuck - excellent support from Brother's help line.

Brother MFC-J6910DW and HL-2250DN

Bought and installed a Brother HL-2250DN today. Why? Because most of our volume printing is monochrome. Fast (26ppm) and another reliable "little" Brother. 

It's very easy to install. It took me longer to find the scissors to open the carton than it it did to set it up. The printer comes with the usual Brother installer CD - just follow the prompts and away you go.

The Combination

I've got the best of both worlds. A4/A3 Colour and higher speed monochrome laser. All for under AUD$600. (Look around plenty of suppliers) and networked.

Wish-list
Next item on my wish-list - The Brother HL-S7000 100 ppm monochrome. Why? I've seen it in action and it's a ball-tearer!

Tips
D = Duplex , W = Wireless , N = Network, PPM = Pages Per Minute
Always use good quality paper for the best results
