Another great Brother Printer

Replaced my old Brother printer that I wore out.  (Still printed but just wouldn't load paper and started getting light even with new components.)  Does everything I need it too.  Fast and Clean.

Have been a longtime fan of Brother and this is my 6th or 7th printer of theirs.  We have never been let down by one of their machines.  This unit is a solid performer in terms of speed and quality but is best for a home user or very basic office.

Taking off 1/2 star because the wireless set-up was a bit tough across the platforms we have at home (Chromebook, network PC, and laptop PC).  It took time to get each to work and obviously 3 different methods.  The Chromebook was the most difficult but we eventually got it working.

Taking off another 1/2 star because the machine makes a very quiet, and very high-pitched noise when in standby mode ("deep sleep").  You can hear it within a few feet of the device.  Minor, but worth noting.

I have the MFC earlier model three years old. This newer model is easier to configure, prints faster and can print on both sides of the paper better. I guess brother updated the software. I give it 5 stars. Price is reasonably good with the discount from Brother.

I love the Brother line of color laser printers.  I've bought several of them now, for my office, my mother, etc.  They just work and are seamless with my Mac systems.

I have bought 2 of these units and love them. I've seen a few people complain that they could not register to download the software from Brother's site. That's because they didn't open the unit and find the serial number under where the label cart. goes. I was able to download the extra software and it runs fine with the unit. Even the included software is pretty nice. One thing I love is that there is no install needed for the basic software. The printer acts as a flash drive with the application embedded. SO it's easy to take it w/ you and connect to any windows (XP or newer) machine and start printing. I got my units for ~20 each and I couldn't be happier. You will need 6 AAA batteries, but that not a big deal.

Everything about the Brother printer and cartridges has been excellent.  One of the best choices I've ever made for a wireless printer. Cartridges are nicely priced, and printer is excellent.

This is my third Brother laser printer and this one is by far the best one I have had.  My two others were MFP, print, fax and scan, but they were not wireless nor were they network printers, but I had them plugged in to the router so I could print on the network, but couldn't scan unless I was hooked up directly.  It was time for a new drum and let's face it the cost of these have come down so much that it was time for a new printer with wireless capabilities.  I haven't sent a fax in years so this was the machine I wanted.  It was a fair price and I was ready to get it installed and ready to print.  The setup was easy, but if you have a Mac or want to use AirPrint on your IOS device keeping its connected to the network after its connected is a challenge or at least for me it was.  I am glad I didn't write this review before I figured out my issues, honestly I was about ready to return the machine, but I am so glad I didn't.

There are reports all over the forums and on Amazon about this machined how it loses connection when going into "deep sleep" and in order to print, especially with a Mac you have to turn off the printer and then back on and even then it may not work.  Also with AirPrint once it's in deep sleep AirPrint doesn't work from your IOS device either.  One solution to this problem noted by Brother is to update the firmware.  That's always a good thing, but it didn't work for me.  After some searching for a few days I discovered it's not so much an issue with the printer as it is with the Mac itself.  Mac recognizes network or wireless printers it finds with Bonjour.  Unfortunately for some when the Brother printer is in deep sleep and the Mac has been "sleeping" and you wake up the Mac, Bonjour fails to connect.  Not sure why, but for me that's what was happening.  So to fix the issue instead of adding the printer through Bonjour, I added using the IP address of the printer and BAM.....it works like a charm. Finding the IP address is pretty simple, the manual tells you how to do it right from the printer.  Now when I print, my Macs see the printer connection and wake up the printer to do a job, even in deep sleep, no issues.  However, my IOS devices still could not see the printer once it went into deep sleep.  The fix for this is even easier.  Find the IP address and then type the IP address into your browser and it takes you to the printer's management page.  From here all you need to do is check the box in the wireless tab to enable IPv6 and then submit.  No need to do anything else, just check the box to enable IPv6 and submit.  Now my IOS devices always see the AirPrinter and can print when ever it is needed without manually waking up the printer or restarting it.  So now the printer is ready when I need it working as it was intended.

Been using this printer for some time for copying, scanning, and printing without fail. Love brother printers, they seem to run forever.

Lasted 5 months using for college and work,  about 3,000 copies (without using the Toner Save option).  Sure beats the old Kodak printer when we used to run to Staples/WalMart every few weeks to get either black ink or color ink.  What a drag that was.  I am very happy with this Brother printer HL-2280DW and it is the best printer we ever had.  Very user friendly and quality printing.  I like the feature where Brother gives you a free UPS shipping sticker so you can UPS the old cartridge back to them in the same box that the new one just came in.  That's convenient and gives me one less problem to worry about.  I would highly recommend this printer and toner system to anyone looking for a Black & white printer.

So far, I love this printer.  I had a Brother before that I really liked when it was new because they turn themselves on if you go to print something from you phone or some other device via Wi-Fi, but it stopped connecting to the internet after about 11/2 years, so I returned it and vowed to never buy another Brother printer again.  Unfortunately, it seems there are no other printers on the market that will print via Wi-Fi unless you leave them powered on all the time because they don't turn themselves on when a print job is sent.  So, I decided to give Brother another shot.  So far, so good.  Hope it keeps it up because I really do love it.

Brother makes great inexpensive laser printers. I have owned three of these (different houses, all still in use). They last forever, and make great quality prints.

Read about taping over the toner sensor-hole to get the most life out of the toner cartridge.

This has been the best printer that if have owned thus far. This has been a highly dependable printer. The scanner function does a great job as well. It is a much more dependable printer than all of those crummy Hewlett Packard printers that I have had in the past. The ink cartridges also are cheaper than HP.

I definitely prefer the Brother brand to HP and others.  Doesn't take up too much space on my desk, yet does a lot of work for me in a day.

Well, I can't say I'm a big fan of Brother as a company. I got a bad impression of them a long time ago and just held onto it. After owning this printer, I have to say, I have changed my mind. It works great, is pretty fast, and having a tray at this price point is pretty grand. I've only owned it a couple of months, but it has done everything I have asked it to do, and I print several pages every day. Quality is good, no disappointments there, and I'm still on the first cartridge.

I'd say there's a winner here so far. We'll see over the long haul. If my opinion changes, I'll be sure and update my review.

This is the one of the several Brother printers that we have in our office. Previously I have used HP, Lexmark, Dell, Ricoh and Canon printers. In my experience, Brother are the most reliable and trouble free printers. After about 4 - 5 years, they start giving you error messages like replace parts, replace drum etc. That is usually the time to replace the printer.

At 42 ppm, this is a reasonably fast and high capacity printer.  Print quality is not the best but decent and acceptable. As of now the 8000 page toner TN850 is priced $108.79, the costing 0.13 cents per page and if you buy toner from aftermarket manufacturers, it is even less expensive.

The printer is easy to set up. The software is not compatible with Windows 2011 SBS server but otherwise wired network connection is trouble free. I have not used this printer with wireless setup but based on my past experience, wireless connections are not as stable and off and on you may have to re-establish WiFi connection again. You can also print from your mobile device.

This is a good fast printer for a small office at a good price point.

One case here when reading all the reviews has really paid off. This printer really sips ink and does everything I would expect for my investment. One thing I noticed is right out of the box is that it is the heaviest printer I have ever owned to date and a but larger than most. I'm guessing that this speaks well of Brother's quality. So far this has been the best home office printer I have owned to date and I have been through a lot of them. One more thing to consider is that the ink is pretty reasonable,couple that with it's low consumption and if it last a year it will have pretty much paid for itself.

I've used this printer heavily at work now for over a year.  I've gone through multiple toners and drums, and the printer continues to work like a charm.  It is very durable.  The output is fast and the print quality excellent.  The included software package is very use and useful.  Brother also makes a similar printer with a fax feature for a slightly higher price if you need that functionality.
