I really like this laser printer the lettering is crisp and neat. I can print out a document and highlight the text without it smearing. I do wish it had a screen which I could lay a document on to copy, but I have other printers that offer that option or I can scan the document, then print.
Print quality is excellent but the time I spend keeping the Wifi connected and difficulty in resetting the low toner message is really aggravating.

Hi, We are glad to hear the print quality is excellent. However, connecting wireless and resetting the low toner message has been aggravating. I'll be happy to help. Below are some important points to confirm before connecting your machine to the wireless network: https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hll8260cdw_us_eu_as&faqid=faq00002806_007
With the toner low error message, you can continue to print until you receive the replace toner message: https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hll8260cdw_us_eu_as&faqid=faq00002214_008
Once I found the workaround to continue using the toner when it stops printing and says it must be replaced, I was so happy. It's now been 5 months since it said the toner was empty and I reset it. I am STILL printing perfect copies! Then only thing I hoped for was that it would have the gorgeous sheen like a color copier has. The color is duller than the copier, but excellent for a laser printer. Overall, I love it!!
I've owned several Brother color laser printers. They ALL had the ability to reset the "replace toner" error message so you could continue to print. With the HL-L8260CDW, you currently can't reset that error message and you can't print again until you replace the toner cartridge. PLEASE UPDATE FIRMWARE to allow the reset option.
I bought this as a replacement printer for another brother printer. We love brother printers in our office because we could reset the toner errors and keep using the full cartridges and not waste money. This model has that feature removed so you HAVE to buy new cartridges or the printer refuses to work at all. So I wasted a very significant amount of money and now will look for a new brand that doesn’t steal my money.
