Summary: This latest Brother monochrome laser printer, is priced less than previous similar versions such as the Brother HL-1850 & others. This printer is also not as heavy as previous Brother printers. Plus, this printer prints up to 30 b&w ppm, instead of the usual 20ppm. Love the auto-duplex feature. Printer is very user friendly and print quality is excellent.

Summary: This is a surprising capable and fast laser printer for the price. At under $250 after discount, this machine can do duplex (2-sided) printing, and the built-in network interface works with PC, Mac, Linux, etc. Postscript is also included.
The light plastic construction does not give a warm feeling toward long term reliability. However this is just a feeling. My past experience with other Brother machines has been positive.

Summary: This is a great printer if you are looking for one which will fit into a fairly tight budget. It has great print quality for the money and you can't beat how fast it is for the price.

There is an additional small 30 page capacity tray which does pull down in the front which allows for another medium to be used which is a great help.

I would like to add at least one of the additional trays to increase paper capacity and be able to use both legal and letter sized paper at the same time, but the additional paper trays seem to either be out of stock for most distributors or overpriced.

All-in-all I would recommend this printer to someone on a tight budget looking for a quality product for a home office.
