Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Laser Printer with Duplex Printing

Pros: This guy is fast! Was so tired of having a colored printer that the ink was so expensive! With a colored printer it would slowly use a little bit of color ink with the black(whats that about?). This would then make purchasing ink more expensive as the colored printer would refuse to print without all the ink containers having some ink in them. Anyways! this is a great buy! Have had for a good 5 months and no issues have come up.

Cons: none

Pros: Cheap. low cost printer, highly reliable. Have used this in a small office environment for 2 years without a fault of any kind. Refill using Rosewell toner. The two-sided printing (duplex) is a real money saver if you need it.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Highly recommend this printer.

Pros: - Super fast printing. - Super easy to use with Windows 10, just plug the usb and start printing. - The price was great ($49.99 with the promo code). - It is made by Brother so it will last me a long time in the house.

Cons: - No wireless but I don't need it. - No complaint.

Overall Review: I prefer separate devices such as Scanners/printers/fax than All-in-1. The toner and drum lasts much longer for the printer in my case, since I use 75 percent black and white prints over color, the toner and drum for the color printer can be saved and I only have to pay fraction for black and white toner and drum compared to color.

Pros: prints fast and no ink to smear. good crisp lines and has not jammed. comes with a toner cartridge.

Cons: does not come with a printer USB cable. you will have to purchase one separately it is the only way this printer will work.

Overall Review: does not have WiFi or Ethernet only USB. you might be able to share printer on your network but i haven't tried. Toner printers are perfect when you only need black and white pages. a lot cheaper then ink and lasts longer.

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.

Overall Review: 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.

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.

Pros: I purchased this product when I began nursing school. I wanted something simple, inexpensive and reliable. I been using this printer to print out all my work and lecture slides. I must of printed about 6,000+pages by now and it's still running like a champ. Toner is inexpensive and I would recommend other cheaper costing toners like Rosewill. You won't notice a difference, because there isn't any. Or learn how to refill yourself, which I haven't had the time to. Bundle this with a 3 year warranty and your set.

Cons: Noisy, but who cares

Pros: Easy to set up Easy to use Mac friendly

Cons: Requires new drivers

Overall Review: I plug it in, and it works, which is just what I want in a printer. Upgrading from a Brother 2020 on MacOS Catalina I did have to download new drivers, but it's been smooth sailing ever since
