	I've go a Brother DCP7020 that does okay on envelopes. I only
occasionally print an envelope so I use the sheet feed slot in the
front, not the tray for those. I'll get another multi or all in one
machine again. I love that scanner built in! I paid less than $200
several years ago and it's still going. I did replace a toner cartridge
once after all. I might go through a case and a half to two cases of
paper per year.
