This little printer has just been a little work horse for me.  It has printed 123,000 pages for me without  a glitch.  The cassettes are cheaper than the 5430 and the printer is a little bit slower, but it has printed many, many pages for me and done a good job.  I would recommend it to anyone.  For speed, you can't beat the 5430, but the consumables will eat you alive.  The 2300 will print as well, not quite as fast but the cartridges are less than half the cost.
