Brother Hl-2170W vs. Brother HL-2140 laser printer: Is the Brother HL-2170W worth the extra price over the Brother HL-2140 Thanks, Mike

I would say NO. I cannot get the wireless to connect whatever I do. I had great luck with the 2070N so tried this, but no, I would not do it.

Hello and good day. The 3210 was a capable printer. WHEN IT WORKED. For I did had soft ware issues, I had to delete everything an reinstall. But for me was the feed mechanism. Over an over an over, paper jams. So got tired an got EPSON 837. An EPSON WAY OUT PERFORMED HP.... just the issue is inks are EXPENSIVE.

Brother printers are more conservative with ink, and have a near 0% job fail rate. HP as a brand is infamous for having unreasonably high job fail rates. My last HP was upwards of 60-70%. I had to get a library membership just so I could print on days I had assignments due but the printer wouldn't work.

The difference is probably in the number of pages from the color cartridges. There is only one black cartridge, the TN221BK but there are two different sets of the color cartridges - the TN221 series and the TN225 series. The TN225 series cartridges will print more pages than the equivalent TN221 series cartridges, thus the higher price. I saw a Brother 5-pack that had all TN221 series cartridges for less than the one I bought. A lot depends on what you print, but it is likely that you'll get more pages out of the set with the TN225 color cartridges.

Your best bet is to buy a Brother MFC7860DW. I pushed my HP printer off a cliff a while ago...Never again.

I think your best bet is to put your type of printer - i.e., "Brother HL5240" into the Brother website and see if it's a match.

okay I need some help/info. I got the 2170w brother printer. I thought it came with a drum too? listed on the side of the box.. well my toner light is blinking, still printing though. So do I just need to buy a drum? What do I do from there, stick it into the toner that exists? Confused since the drum I saw on amazon says compatible w/ toner model xxx whatever. So do they work together? Or do I just stick the drum in place of the toner that I put in there..? Thanks!

You should ask Brother about that. It depends on a lot of factors, like how much ink goes onto each page, how old the cartridge is, and others. Bottom line is that I find laser printing far cheaper per sheet than ink-jet.

Hi This is the best printer. I studied all the printers on the market in great length and this printer answered all my criteria and then some. Duplex printing and copying are excellent the first copy I did was a magazine cover to compare quality I showed my wife and asked her to tell me which one was the best and it was the Brother. You won't be disappointed in it.

I'm not sure. I have a HL 2170 printer and it works fine. It is a bit messy but worth it. I have filled my cartridge 2 times and saved a lot of money. Print quality was fine.

the printer is excellent. i have used 5 brothers of various models and they are workhorses.

Thanks Coconut. I'll check it out in a sec.BTW, I read the review on CNET of the 2270DW, and they said it prints terrible graphics, but is otherwise excellent.So, I called Brother and asked someone there whether there's any difference in graphics quality between the two models. The Brother rep said that the 5370 is better because it has "1200 by 1200 depth per integer".DEPTH PER INTEGER???I asked him whether he meant dots per inch, and he said, "oh yeah...dots per inch. My bad."Yikes.

This printer isn't designated as a wireless unit; there would be a "W" somewhere in the last three letters of the model number if it were. However, you might find a router that would go from networked to wireless. Personally, I'd rather get one that's designed to be used the way I plan to use it, which is what I did (for security reasons). Brother has several wireless multi-function printers, so you can just buy what you want.

Since we bought the printer for our engineering office last October, we have printed 1495 pages, 1116 of which had at least some color content, though only about 150 of those had large color pictures, the rest were mostly black and white drawings with a few color graphics and lines. We are still using the original color toner cartridges that came with the printer, and they are are all 2/3 full. We used up the black starter toner cartridge that came with the printer, plus we have used up about 45% of a TN-221BK black toner cartridge. Brother claims that the TN-221BK cartridge will print 2500 pages, and the TN-225C, M and Y cartridges will print 2200 pages. I paid $283 for a four pack of toner cartridges, one black and three color high-yield Brother brand cartridges. But it looks like I will mostly be buying black toner cartridges at $60 each. While not cheap, it is a heck of a lot cheaper per page than using ink jet printers, plus the printer is faster and quieter than ink jet printers, and the print quality is great. Plus there are no print heads to clog, which eventually killed most of the ink jet printers I've owned. Also, if the toner is not completely used up when the printer says it is you can reset the cartridge and keep printing until the cartridge is empty.

The only difference is the the HL-2275dw has a full toner cartridge(est. 1200 pages) and HL-2270dw comes with a starter toner cartridge (est. 700 pages).

I'm not sure to be honest. I got rid of my HP printer, I got tired of the chip they install in there cartridges along with Epson,and the other big printer name. I bought a brother, they do not do this. As long as they don't I'll stick with brother.

for my printer it is okay, so it should be the same. My printer is the mfc 7360 N. the toner is the same as the brother tn-450 and tn-420. the model hl- 2280 dw is the same toner as the brother tn-450.
