Toner Dust

I am knowleble of all codes and such, if I decide to install a fan. I daresay I will do a better job than most contractors - licensed or not.

I think I will give Brother a call, will have time over the next couple weeks after I have knee surgery on Tuesday. Maybe there is something wrong with the thing. I cannot see how this could be considered normal or acceptable. Scrapping a $900 printer that works very nicely - well aside from this issue - is not the most attractive idea. But the health of my family and myself is certainly worth more. Regardless of the listed toxicity listed on the sheets, which I cannot say I recall ever seeing with the toner cartridges, it cannot be good for us long term. I also somehow don't think that I should have to modifiy my freaking house or build a self sufficient ventilate cleanroom to use a simple printer.

Certainly makes perfect sense to me Kevin.....exactly..!!!
