Excellent printer. Highly recommended

We print about 1k pages a month for our business. So far I am very happy with this printer. Color is excellent and prints very fast. It was very easy to get it set up with our WiFi network. Driver and software installation was a breeze. Only complaint is printer is a little loud, but it's for our business so I can live with it.

Great for Wireless Printing

After doing research about wireless printing, I bought this specifically to be able to print wirelessly from iPhones and iPads. Setup was a snap. I've been printing documents ever since and have never been disappointed.

Great buy thus far!

So far it's a great printer. I bought for a business that I started which hasn't taken completely off as of yet. But when it does this printer will be an integral part. But for now I'm completely satisfied. This printer was recommended by an instructor during a Notary IT class for Notary Signing Agents. The instructor is so impressed, the recommendation is a part of his curriculum. That speaks volumes to me, hopefully it means something to you if you are considering purchasing one!

Great printer for notary signing agents

This printer is working perfectly for my job as a notary signing agent. I frequently print 250 pages at a time, combination of letter and legal, no problem. It prints very quickly and the print is clear. It was easy to set up the two different paper trays in the app so the printer pulls legal or letter size as needed automatically. I did read another review where someone mentioned the printer takes a long time to wake after being in sleep mode, but I haven't found that to be the case with mine; it only takes a few seconds. I also saw a reviewer who said this printer doesn't actually print on legal paper. It DOES print on legal paper. You just have to extend the paper tray manually. When you do this, the tray does extend out the back of the printer a few inches, but that's okay with me because I'd rather have it extend a few inches rather than have the whole printer be that much bigger and heavier (see photo). This is a pretty large printer for a home office. I've shown a picture of it with my Canon Pixma 6200 inkjet below it so you can get an idea of the size. Setup was not bad. I initially had a little trouble getting it to connect to my home wifi, but once that was solved, everyone in the house has easily been able to print to it. It also comes with a cable so you can connect directly to your computer if you want. This is a great feature ... I bought a ScanSnap ix500 at the same time I bought this printer, and although the ScanSnap can also connect directly to the computer, it didn't come with a cable. Had to buy my own. I like having the option of printing directly in case the wifi is out. It also has an option to print from mobile devices, but I haven't tried that yet.

Fast and Dependable Printer

I am a mobile notary public/ loan signing agent so I need a fast dependable printer that can print both letter and legal paper to print loan docs. Some time printing as many as 400 pages per loan. This printer is perfect for my profession and highly recommend for any small business.

Much improved over the Brother HL5280DW

Pros: GigE, Apple AirPrint via Bonjour, painless wireless configuration in both macOS and Linux, greatly improved font emulation options leading to high quality serif fonts by Adobe, Linotype, etc without any visible pixelation. Cons: None Tips: The print systems for Linux with CUPS 2.2-2.3 and macOS Mojave’s 10.4.4 making adding to an AirPort Extreme Bass Station painless. Go into the command panel and under Networking make sure in WiFi that AirPrint is enabled. Launch Airport Utility and select your base station under macOS choose Add WPS Printer. Press the WiFi button on the printer panel which initiates an address request. After a few requests the panel inside macOS will inform you the HL L5200DW is asking to connect. Add it Print System panel opens with a Bonjour option to select the printer so do so. It autoconfigs and make the unit AirPrint available inside your network. On Debian Linux with GNOME 3.30 select the printer option and it will be listed already configured

A great, fast, duplex laser printer - and quite the value !

Other than the rather dull appearance, this successor to our prior Brother duplex laser, which lasted us some 10 years, is fantastic! It is fast, even when printing duplex, has yet to jam, goes into a "deep sleep" when idle (but exits it immediately upon receiving a print job), and was easy to setup on our (secure) wifi network. We use the roughly 50-page flip-down paper input tray a lot for special forms or different stock; the bottom supply drawer holds a plentiful supply of our regular stock. It has the same drum/toner cartridge mechanism as our older device, so we know from experience that changing either or both, including with compatible brand (non-OEM) replacements is fast and easy. After a couple of month's of everyday use, we're totally pleased!

Fast and economical

Bought this for a small office to replace an older model that started leaking toner. It is shared by 3 employees. It's really fast and has good quality print. The toner cartridges last us as least 2 months, but we replaced with generic that are working fine.

Great High Spead Dual Tray Printer for Very Reasonable Price

I use this dual paper printer for notarized documents that are 2/3 letter and 1/3 legal sized paper in mixed order. It works incredibly fast and prints well. My documents must be legible and free of marks on either the body or side of paper. This printer is a replacement for a Brother 5150 dual tray printer that gave me well over 500,000 pages. I print 2,500-7,500 pages per month and need a reliable printer. This printer was easy to set-up using my secure wifi network, and I use it on multiple PC and Apple computers as well as iPhones for printing. The dual tray comes with a 500 and 250 page trays. This is perfect for me given the ratio that I print, and the LED screen allows you to very easily assign paper size to the tray. I had it working in about 30 minutes. Brother toner replacements are excellent but expensive at around $100. I use aftermarkets that typically range around $20. HOWEVER, with after markets you have to accept that some of them will either fail or deliver bad quality. So always have a spare if you NEED to print. Brother cartridges have never failed me, but just not worth the money given the volume that I print. On my 5150, the drums would give me 50,000-70,000 prints, but I don't know about this model yet. I will update if there is any problem.

Envelope printing is great!

Had a Brother HL-2040 for years. It had good print quality but could not print envelopes worth a darn -- no matter how carefully I positioned the envelope, it would come out with the printing on the envelope crooked and the envelope crinkled. When the drum needed replacing, I took that as an opportunity to choose a new printer instead of replacing the drum. In all fairness, the HL-2040 was a low-end printer... but this printer is also very cost effective in initial purchase, and the toner is reasonably priced. I did not want an all-in-one scanner-type printer (I already have great Fujitsu sheet-fed and Epson flatbed scanners), nor an inkjet (I already have a color inkjet - there are pros and cons with inkjets compared to lasers). I wanted a high-capable single-purpose laser printer. In surveying all reasonably priced printers, I decided on this one as having the capabilities I wanted with the best value. I kept my fingers crossed that it would do a good job printing envelopes. I was not disappointed, in fact my hopes were exceeded! It has a straight path available for envelopes and heavy stock, but that path requires extra clearance at the back. I tried the normal curved path first (where the printed media exits from the top) and the envelopes show no sign of crinkling! Great! And the multi-function paper feed works perfectly in feeding the envelopes straight (the printing has never skewed). And, you can load up to 10 envelopes at a time. The multi-function tray is hidden out of the way in the front... simply flips down and the extensions flip out, and just as easily stores back into its hidden position -- extremely well designed. This printer has nearly any programmable option you could ever want, accessed via front panel, IP address or computer app. It can connect via USB, WiFi, or Ethernet cable. I chose to connect via Ethernet cable connected to a powerline adapter which is in turn connected to our home network. I could have connected via WiFi, but I find that powerline connection is rock-solid and I had an extra connection available in our second floor office -- the AC1750 WiFi router is downstairs near the limit of its transmission and I've not found WiFi extenders to work as well as powerline, which easily covers the whole house. If using USB, that would mean the host computer would have to be on with printer sharing enabled. Having the printer connected via wired Ethernet works perfectly... as long as the router and powerline are on (always are), you can print from anywhere on the network (even if the Internet is down). After completing a print job, the printer quickly goes into deep sleep, and awakes instantly when sent another print job. It consumes only 1.3 watts in deep sleep. The only negative I've found is that this printer is very noisy in its initialization process when powering up, but after that, the actual printing is not as noisy.
