I've got a 7110 AIO, it's a lovely bit of kit. Except, the printer bit 
is slightly knackered. Not too bothered about that, I bought it for the 
document feeder, oversize scanner bed and the fax facility :) For 
printing I use a Brother mono laser. Changed out the toner and drum for 
the first time late 2010 after pumping the old cartridge for close on 
13,000 pages of legal documents. Cart #2 has done 17,000 so far and 
still going.
