5 out of 5 eggsWorks good

This review is from: Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Single-Function Laser Printer

Pros: - So far it is working fine
- Only requires a single toner cartridge, which isn't too expensive
- Good for printing out documents and receipts

Cons: - Didn't come with a USB cord, and asked for one during the setup

Other Thoughts: - Good for what it is intended for. If I want a photograph printed out I will go to staples or something and have them print it out on their huge expensive amazing printers.

4 out of 5 eggsRead the Features Carefully

This review is from: Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Single-Function Laser Printer

Pros: This is replacing my older Brother. To replace the drum in my old printer would have been $25 and got new one for $39.

This can do automatic double sided my older one only manual.

Replacement Ink is inexpensive compared to others printers. Can get as low as $8 for no name knockoffs which have always worked just fine for me.

Cons: This model does not have a wired ethernet connection.

Connects to Computer only via USB.

You can use as a shared network printer on Windows 7 or above using homegroups. Not ideal but does work.

2 out of 5 eggsUnimpressed

This review is from: Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Single-Function Laser Printer

Pros: Printer was on sale

Other Newegg reviews are good

Cons: It doesn't come with the USB AB cable needed to plug into my computer. That's not cool, I priced them out at local stores and the cheapest one I could find was a $15 10-foot cable, so I ordered one from Newegg instead for $3.50. It was a 15 foot cable, too.

Other Thoughts: This has nothing to do with HP, but the shipping is handled about as sloppily as can be. The box isn't covered at all and was dropped in front of my apartment door.

I'm glad someone didn't walk off with it, as that has happened before (my neighborhood is ghetto).

4 out of 5 eggsSome limitations, but it works

This review is from: Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Single-Function Laser Printer

Pros: When it is on sale, it's a good deal.

Cons: Amazingly low memory capacity, just 8 Mb. For this reason, HQ2400 print mode may not be used for 2 sided prints with text and serious graphics, like user guides.

Other Thoughts: O.K. for 1 sided prints containing text and simple graphics. Pretty fast. For a very budget minded people who just need a laser printer of some sort.

This review is from: Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Single-Function Laser Printer

Pros: Easy set up, fast to print, double-sided!! I bought this when it was on sale ($49) and it is a terrific bargain. if you don't care about having another cord to plug into an outlet, this is a good machine.

Cons: No wifi set up.

4 out of 5 eggsHL 2200Series? 2300 series?

This review is from: Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Single-Function Laser Printer

Pros: My ownership is of numerous Brothers printers over recent years, including several in the HL-L2200 series now in my garage as spares for those now in use. These are fine secondary printers, provide long life and decent printing. However, I do not challenge the capabilities of these printers.

Cons: I have no doubt that the 2300 series will work as well, considering the virtually identical specifications and positioning. However, the shift seems to me little more than planned obsolescence, to counter the ubiquitous sourcing of the non-OEM TN450 toner, incompatible with the 2300s, but very widely available at about as low a price as you might care to name.

Other Thoughts: Although starter toners are typically good for only low output quantities, keeping spares provides a much wider range of parts deemed consumable than the toners. Notably in these series, the drum is rated for 12000 prints, but may last for far fewer. Unlike non-OEM toners, the drum alone is typically far more expensive than the whole printer. (This is even more true for more complex printers with more consumables, such as waste cartridges etc etc.) In 'D' models, which print duplex, spare printers are also a source of replacement gears and mechanical components for repair by the mechanically inclined. These last well in storage. If Brother is closing out the 2200 series I will be on the lookout for 4 or 5 more duplex models,. If you do not presently own the 2200 printers, then I would advise buying at least three of these 2300 units when they are at the right price, if closet space allows. You will eventually need the parts, and until then you will find places to set up the extra printers for some marginal utility. As even better advice, I would suggest purchase of a moderately compact multifunction device if space permits; even with duplex printing they are occasionally available nearly as cheaply, and the need for scanning and copying will discover itself quickly. But these devices build on the simple printer base, so the cautions about compatible toners and drums apply throughout the lines. For example, the MFC-7860DW takes the same toners and drums as the 2200 series, and the DCP-L2540DW takes the same as the 2300 series; stay within product families and you will get superior usability at reduced cost.

4 out of 5 eggsDecent Printer

This review is from: Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Single-Function Laser Printer

Pros: Fast and affordable. No jams yet, and it handles Avery labels and thick paper just fine.

Cons: This unit is a light-dimmer. I'm glad I have my PC's on UPSs, because when this thing warms up it dims the lights and the UPSs actually kick on from the brownout it causes. My office is wired with 12 gauge wire, and doesn't share it's circuit with any other rooms. At least it hasn't popped the breaker yet.
