Pros: Fast printer. Does what I need.
Cons: There are visible minor creases in the paper when it prints. If I send a job to the printer when it is off then turn it on, the first page usually jams. Best to wait until the printer is on and warmed up before sending a job to it. Maybe this can be remedied by carefully selecting the paper type.

Great Little HL-2140 Brother Laser Printer
Reviewed By: drgold2000 on 11/11/2008
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Price after rebate that ends at end of year Quality of print is great - 600 dpi standard or 1200 dpi if select it Enclosed 250 page paper holder 2X Fast as my old printer -- 23 pp per minute
Cons: Noise from printing, cooling fan and clicks that it makes. Much more noise than my 5 year old Minolta PagePro 1250W laser. Toner Hi Yield is less than with most at only 2500 pages vs 6000 pages & drum less pages
Other Thoughts: Get this baby on sale now with the $20 off from Brother before 2008 ends ... too, a very fast rebate from Brother which was nice. --
Too, the tape trick found on the internet may make this even better on toner ... the printer has a laser system that measures toner and cuts the printer off and makes it unusable when the toner is getting low. So take the cartridge unit out of the printer and place on a newspaper - remove the toner cartridge from the drum - some toner will leak out so wash your hands if necessary. Place masking tape on each round window on each end. This trick may give you 25% more prints or more. --
Too if you get a drum message of it going bad then try resetting it per the instructions on the web in the user's guide. --
I put my Kill-A-Watt meter up to both my old and new printer and both use a lot of energy to print then go to a sleep mode. --
Kilowatt meter as measured 11-10-08: Brother 2140: Nothing happening: 3 watts Fan on : 4 watts 450-925 W

Great Printer
Reviewed By: on 1/8/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: I have the wireless version. Prints fast. Great b/w image prints.
Cons: Power draw. Just like another reviewer wrote, this thing draws 480 watts. And made my UPS beep for a minute. Draws power like a hair dryer. Need to plug this into a different outlet.
Other Thoughts: You can save money by refilling the cartridge yourself. Don't need to buy a new one. Just buy new toner. Can't tell you where. Open up the big round clear plastic cap in the cartridge. Pour out the old toner powder. Pour in new toner powder. And make sure you use electrical tape to block the clear hole, the low toner sensor hole.

Pros: Fast output, inexpensive print cost and quick first print. This has been an extremely reliable printer - best I've had so far in my office setting. Print about 2,500 prints per month and not one jam so far!
Cons: The toner cartridge which comes with the unit only yielded about 800 pages.
Other Thoughts: I am purchasing a second unit for our shipping department. Much better choice for the money than an inkjet - and cheaper cost per page!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Quite, VERY fast compared to ink jet. Ubuntu Linux picked it right up, no problem. Stores vast amounts of paper (250 sheets) and is cheap to operate. What more can you ask? We've come a long way from 9 pin dot-matrix printers, haven't we.
Cons: None yet. The starter (boxed) toner cartridge doesn't have much toner in it, but there is a workaround using tape to cover the sensors. This information is available by search engine all over the net, so there is no excuse to whine about the starter cartridge "only printed (fill in the blank)___ number of pages"! Buy a spare full cartridge... heck, they are cheap. Doesn't print in color. No kidding. (Does anyone order this thinking that it DOES)?
Other Thoughts: First of all, I ordered this printer on a Thursday morning, and it was on my doorstep before noon on Friday. Thanks Newegg for great service! Good job. Brother says that the regular toner cartridge should be good for 2500 pages before replacement, but I am looking into replacing just the toner itself. I continue to be amazed at the speed of this thing. A page full of print takes just about two seconds to feed through the printer. I would take a careful look at the reports here that a negative. Not saying that there are no lemons out there, but there are a lot more people on computers that don't know what the heck they are doing and don't want to take the time to learn.
