Thanks for above.  I also looked at the site Anita told me about in
another QnA email.  I also checked the web, which has lots of sites
about the mfc420cn.  With all the information available, I concluded
that I should not buy this all-in-one.  Turns out, my son has an Epson
printer that is out of use and available.  I have a scanner, so between
the printer and the scanner and my HP Laserjet III printer also, I'm in
good shape.
