The seller claims "50000 pages," which seems implausible, as the original Brother ribbon claims 50000 characters. Could anyone comment?

I suspect the seller just got carried away with the 0's. 500 pages (if your writing isn't terribly dense) is more like it.

It has to be a misprint. There is no way .... my son printed maybe 50 before the ink was gone.

it is about 1/3rd full maybe 200-400 pages. Im not sure my computer broke before i could use the printer so Im stuck with a printer but no computer. its all expensive ...

I'm not exactly sure maybe about 50. It was more than enough pages for all the characters to sign.

J, I contacted Brother and then Buffalo Technologies directly. I found that the Buffalo/Techworks part number had changed. It is now PM133-512 and can be found using the memory configuator on the middle of the page at: http://www.buffalotech.com/products/memory/ It costs about $114.75 plus shipping there. However, after MUCH searching (including EBay, Amazon, Newegg & MANY others), I also found a guaranteed compatible memory module for about 1/2 the price. goto: http://www.oempcworld.com Then search for 512M-SO133 or (all on one line) its: http://www.oempcworld.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Category_Code=144pin&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=512M-SO133 There its about $69.85 plus $1 insurance and free shipping. Before ordering, I spoke to OEMPCWORLD and they guaranteed that their chip would work or my money back. I ordered it, got it a few days later, installed it and it worked PERFECTLY. I even called Brother to see how I could be POSITIVE it was working and after several tries, they figured out the instructions to get the printer to print out its memory report. Prior to installation it showed 128mb (on lower right of page at bottom - hard to find, but its there) and after installation, it showed 640mb so the machine recognized the new 512mb SODIMM module and its been fine ever since. By the way, the Brother 9840cdw is a really GREAT Machine, too. I love using it and the print quality is pretty awesome.

Markus Twain, There is no attempt to mislead customers. The 1GB reference in the lower section is a typo, which will be corrected, nothing more. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!

Marisa: I was concerned as I read comments about paper feed problems with Brother printers. I have two printers and they have been wonderful with no paper feed problems. I buy cartridges on ebay (5 for a little over $5.00) and they work well, so printing is very cheap. I really like the printers and recommend them.Bill

Thats debatable, though they do offer a good value in b&w; laser multifunctions. Some of their software has been dodgy, but thats been the case for others as well, especially HP. Its a crap shoot with anything these days. Buy from somewhere that will take returns (not very common for printers) or wait until unbiased reviews are available.FYI, HP also has new machines just released. They are more $$ than Brother but thought you should know. Look at the higher end 3390 or the entry level 3055 or 3052 if you don't need fax.

From my testing on 2 units these are really 8GB faked to read as 256GB. Formating does not matter, these are FRAUDS!

What I have found is if it says "Compatible" it means it is a refill or refurb. I have been bitten by items that only say "brother" that ended up being compatibles that weren't all that compatible. You might have to dig down into the sellers site a bit to find out if it is a refill or not. I have had to do that. The particular unit that this link took me to looks like it is an original brother item.

The description of the ribbon should give this information. Otherwise, I have no clue.

The 600 pages is what the manufactured (in this case Brother) says that the ink cartridges will print. In my experience it can be 10% less in some case 10% more...

I can't answer that. I guess you would have to go to www.brother.com to find out. sorry

The 4600 printer indicates 8000 pages. Obviously that depends on the amount of ink coverage on the page.
