Works fine

Not a high end printer. The print quality is much less desirable than the Okie 5200 that we just replaced with this printer. As long as you aren't needing very crisp high quality printing, such as pictures of people or places you'll be fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

not happy with my Brother

We have owned other Brother black only Laser printers along with Cannon. We decided it was time to move up to a color laser printer. We researched to see which one would be best for us within our budget and decided on the Brother HL-4150. Once we started using it, we felt the color was not as good as we thought it should be for laser but we now owed it so we accepted it.
The Toner cartridges ran out very quickly, even thou there is plenty of ink in them, but Brother simple shuts down your machine.We have used non-Brother toner cartridges for years and have never had problems with them.
The problem is we are now having issues on our still in warranty machine and it does not work. You call Brother support and the first thing they want to know is the number on your toner cartridges and if you are using any other products other than theirs, they will NOT help you.
In short our Brother machine is now a dead weight because I refuse to be strong armed into spending the outrages amount they want for their toner when I have never had issues with outside toner cartridges before.
In my opinion Brother is all about selling their toner. The toner cartridges have plenty of ink in them when they shut you down and when you have an issue customer service is non existent and rude when you do not use their product. It is not only that they will not help but the way they force you to buy toner when the cartridges still have a lot in them.
So now we see this very annoying huge yellow message that comes up on a 1/4 of your screen letting me know I need to buy more Brother ink. Sorry but I wish I bought another Cannon instead of Brother.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best and least expensive color laser

We have had this printer for just over a month. So far, so good. We have had no problems. The output looks great. The printer is fairly fast. The straight through paper path handles heaver card stock with little problems. Our pprinter is in a case, so the reports of it being a little loud has not been a problem for us.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works Super

The color is great and the Duplex is amazing. We are a small office with a light printing load. We put this unit in place about 60 days ago. This is a terrific printer with drop dead easy set up. The unit comes up, ready to print in seconds. The machine prints a wide range of paper sizes, and weights. I only hope the toner cost and cartridge life is equally wonderful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Color Laser Yet

Our office had 6 color laser printers. This printer buy far has them all beat. 4 are HP's and 2 were Lexmark. Got this one a few months ago and are 100% satisfied. From a sleep printing the first page is lightning fast. Setup was also a breeze. Seems to print slightly darker then the HP's i use for duplex jobs as well, but may just be because I haven't fooled with the settings. Overall what a GREAT PRINTER!

Would not buy again

Purchased this printer for a small business. Printer is fairly loud, but acceptable. However we are NOT pleased with the toner life. Have printed 1350 monochrome copies, replacing the original black cartridge once and now needing to replace again. Toner life bar shows full. But immediately following the first replacement we began getting "replace toner" messages again. We've taken all cartridges out and replaced them and cleaned the wires (which, may I say was a total pain in the butt...who designed this thing???) On the up side, print quality is good and we've never experienced paper jamming issues. Overall, not satisfied.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like this printer quite well. It is very easy to change the toner cartridges and the print features especially duplexing comes in handy.
