Brother HL-L2380DW

Brother EHL-L2380DW Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer
Brother EHL-L2380DW Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer

Pros: - Easy to set up - Network printing works with Ubuntu/Linux (brother has drivers available on website) - Network Scanning works with Ubuntu/Linux - Google Cloud Print for Chrome and sharing printer - Wireless

Cons: - none so far

Overall Review: I just now received this. I timed myself: it took 9 minutes to have it out of the box and on my desk printing. So far I am really liking this printer. Found the drivers for linux scanning/printing and installation was a snap.

Most Critical Review

Worked for almost 1 year

Pantum P2502W 1200 x 1200 DPI Wireless / USB Monochrome Laser Printer

Pros: Small footprint simple to use quick printing wireless

Cons: the trays seem flimsy and sort of stick out the printer stopped responding to print jobs after a year

Overall Review: I called customer support, and they took my information and said someone would be back in touch with me within 2 days....that was a week ago. As such, I am going to just ditch this printer and get a different brand. I cannot recommed pantum because of the bad customer service.

Hit and miss with Linux. Dont bother.

Pros: -it might work with Windows.

Cons: -does not with with Ubuntu 14.04 on my computer. This is my second one, and neither worked. I thought it might be a power issue, so I spent time with different configurations, on both cards. Both would run for a while, and then drop drives when accessed.

Overall Review: Unfortunately for me, I spent my 30 days trying to make these cards work, so no refund. I will put them online for sale in case someone wants them for Windows.

A disappointment

Pros: !=

Cons: failed

Overall Review: A few years ago I purchased an MSI board that had some issues, so I swore them off... I thought I would give them another try recently since the specs and price seemed like a good dea for this boardl. My mistake. The board sort of worked at first: all but two of the USB ports did not work... The next day the board stopped posting at all. Had to RMA it. Asked for a refund so I can get a board from a different company. I have been doing this for awhile and am no stranger to troubleshooting a system. The board simply failed.
