Rating: Summary: Brother DR100 Drum is Excellent Review: I bought my HL-660 Printer with a DR100 Print drum in 1989. Since then, I have printed nearly 50,000 pages of print and graphics. It worked wonderfully and always gave excellent print quality. The only reason I am looking to replace it now is that my wife hung a plant above the printer and a leaf fell into the drum and burned. Had it not been for that plant, I'd still be printing today. I have looked at the samsung ml1210 printer but the Brother has worked so well, I can't bear to buy anything else.
Rating: Summary: Went bad after 2 years of light use Review: This thing works great when it works, but it won't even outlast the toner cartrige. I'm on my second drum, and I have had it exactly 2 years and it's already bad. I'm thinking of replacing my printer with another one (not made by Brother) before buying another one of these drums. They do go bad with time, even if you don't use it much. If you do buy one of these drums make sure it's fresh. And yes, I did leave my printer plugged in the whole time for these last 2 years, as per Brother's instructions (not on switched power strip) and it didn't make a difference.
