I love the fact that this printer is fast, and it prints darker text than my old printer (a different brand). Unfortunately, this printer has a problem when it is cold -- i.e., if it hasn't printed anything in a few hours. The first couple prints come out with toner across the top inch of the page. It looks like dirt. I tried wiping the drum, cleaning the fuser wire, and setting the driver to "Improve toner fixing", but no luck. I was hoping a firmware update would fix it by forcing the fuser to heat up a bit more before creating the first print, but the recent firmware update actually made the problem worse.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No longer easily print from MP Tray
on April 10, 2023
Posted by: Robert P
from Naples, Florida
I previously had the HL-L5200DW and was able to print from the MP Tray by just placing an envelope or piece of paper in it. Now you are required to open up the the back of the printer, make several modifications to the printer settings to print. Forget about printing envelopes from Microsoft Word, almost impossible. Technical support was useless and resolving the issue.

Sturdy Reliable, but awkward duplexing setup
on July 9, 2017

After a few seconds of contemplation, spits out print job very fast. Awkward envelope handling, After printer driver updated, the printer no longer automatically duplexes. Requires saving document as a pdf and picking the 2 sided option in that print screen. Annoying,

Fuser unit failed after only 7400 pages printed

I have been a Brother user for years, owning numerous Brother products. This is the first time that I have been disappointed in a Brother product. After only printing 7400 pages, the fuser unit failed causing blotches to appear on any document printed. I consider this to be unsatisfactory.

Very professional printer with lots of features
on April 16, 2017

Very happy with the Brother HL-L6300DW. Yhe only thing that I noticed is that went printing multiple pages, say 50, the printer pauses a lot to, as it seems "catch it's breath" which slows the printing speed. Never had that problem with the Brother HL-5470.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The HL-L6300DW is an extraordinary, best of class laser printer. Cannot think of anything negative to say. The printer does its job spectacularly well. There are no issues with it. I would recommend it to anyone.
