Well, 19,516 pages later, replaced the laser printer I bought soon after starting at NWC in 2007 -- with more or less the same thing. I guess Brother found if you square off the corners it can print 50% faster, or maybe it's that Moore's Law thing 
Fwiw the old printer was still running great. But needs toner ($99) and the drum will wear out on the next toner cartridge too, whereas a brand new one is under $200🤷♂️
COVID data: I figure I averaged 1,200 pages/yr in normal years, but about 3,500 the last 12 months, which coincidentally, is about the same number of miles I put on my car from March to March.
My previous printer -- the one that spat out my dissertation -- was an HP Laserjet 4+ inherited from my dad's office, a magnificent beast at 45 pounds. I saw "PC LOAD LETTER" a lot, and sometimes other error messages....
