Faster processor Enjoy fast sustained performance thanks in part to your HP LaserJet P1006s powerful processor (266 MHz vs. the Brother HL-2040s 96-MHz chip). Virtually maintenance free Your HP LaserJet P1006 employs an innovative print cartridge that incorporates the toner supply, imaging drum, primary charge roller, and developer into one single, integrated unit you can easily replace with no mess. The Brother HL-2040 uses a complex 2-piece system that forces users to stock and replace an extra consumable. Furthermore, whenever Brother users replace toner, they must be careful not to damage the devices photosensitive imaging drum, which becomes exposed during the process, plus they must clean the corona wire to prevent damage that can lead to print-quality defects. With HP, you dont. Better paper handling You can stock up to 43-lb. bond in your HP LaserJet P1006s standard paper tray. The Brother HL-2040s standard paper tray only accepts up to 28-lb. bond.
