Brother HL-2270DW Workgroup Up to 27 ppm Monochrome Wireless Laser Printer with Duplex

Pros: Pretty much everything. Fast, Double sided printing, Large Paper Supply and Wireless. When you consider the price, it is amazing!!!

This really is a Great Printer. In an entire year, I have only had one or two paper Jams. Easy to clear.

The wireless option is just so cool. Every computer in the house can print to this one printer.

Cons: Really non that I can think of. It would always be great if the toner was cheaper, but if you buy it on sale, it's pretty fair.

Other Thoughts: Upgrade to this printer and ditch the Ink-Jets for good!! You'll save a ton of money in ink.

Pros: The printer itself has gotten good reviews, generally 4 stars, but there have been widely varying experience with the installation. I followed the manual and had no problems whatsoever. It was a completely wireless install (no ethernet or USB connection to computer or router.) My router has the 1-button WPS function which worked like a champ. I used the installation CD on my Vista computer. For the Windows 7 computer, I downloaded drivers from the Brother web site. Again, not a hitch. Wireless recognition of printer from both computers.

I found the manual rather fussy in its layout, and some of the illustrations were on the small side, hence the loss of 1 star in my rating. I hope the printer's operation is as trouble-free as its installation.

Cons: None yet. Occasionally reported paper curl seems minimal to me.

Other Thoughts: On sale for about $90 total. Great buy, I think.

Pros: Got it on sale, it duplexes, the toner is cheap, print quality is very good, easy to set up, wireless!

Cons: none so far, will update the review if any show up

Other Thoughts: Once again, I needed $40 worth of ink for my ink jet printer with it's voracious appetite when I saw that for like double that, I could have a wireless laser printer that duplexed! Newegg rocks.

This will save me lots of money, and everyone can print to it without bothering me. Give it a static IP and you should not have any connection problems. Very easy to do during setup. BTW, I didn't use the CD, I went to Brother's site to make sure I had the latest software.

Pros: Price is cheap

Cons: Every 28 days I have change a new toner and every 3 months I have change new drum. If I'm not change on time like 3 days the printer just die, no warning or override. Just die. It is very bad for business. I changed 4 Brother printers and a fax machine at once. Back to HP (American is better).

Other Thoughts: New Brother printer just make money by selling toner and drum,<wrong business direction>.

Pros: This printer is incredibly fast for the money. It prints well, isn't wasteful on toner, and is very low maintenance overall. Once it is configured, you probably won't have to touch it again except to replace toner.

Cons: Wireless setup is a bit annoying since it doesn't have an interactive panel, but that is only a minor inconvenience.

Pros: Cost, duplex copying

Cons: After the first toner cartridge was used and a new Brother cartridge was inserted it would not work and still said it was out of toner. I have been unable to remedy even trying a third cartridge.

Pros: it is a fast two sided prints

Cons: NONE

Pros: Cost

Cons: Poor quality

Other Thoughts: This printer was purchased for a low-volume environment, and after printing probably less than 50 pages, it stopped working. Cannot connect to network, and can only print, unreliably, through a USB connection, which is not how I intended to use it. Seems cheaply made.

Pros: Good quality, FAST output, auto-duplex, great price on sale. Overall, like this printer despite than the cons below. Duplexing slows things down, but well worth it to save paper on long docs.

Cons: Pages comes out with curl; textured stationary gets ironed flat from the heat. Not much worse than my earlier HL2170, but my old, slow dinosaur HP4L did not do this to paper. (maybe fast printing requires more heat to fuse toner.)

Cheapo starter cartridge. Stopped without advance warning after 680 pages, about what is promised.

Pros: The printer has some nice features-networking and duplex. The price is OK if you get it on discount.

Cons: Cons:
1. The overall quality is rather cheap. The plastic body is too thin and it bends and moves much too easily. The power cord connection is flimsy; if the power cord is slightly moved, it loses contact and the printer has no power.
2. The amount of paper curl is a little high. This is something to expect with a low-cost printer, but it still seems excessive.
3. The starter toner cartridge only lasted me about 600 pages (and this was on toner-saver mode). I didn’t get any problems such as faded text; the printer just refused to do any more printing.

Other Thoughts: I’ve been using Brother printers for about 7 years and with this printer it seems they have moved into the whole “cheap printer/expensive cartridge” thing a little too much for my taste. My previous Brother printer went about 2000 pages on its starter cartridge, this one MUCH LESS! So now, after about two months, I have to buy an overpriced cartridge.
