The HL-L8260CDW was a nice little color laser printer. Great speed and nice color -- except we could not get it to print our 6x9 booklet envelopes without wrinkling them.

Hello, I understand you are experiencing an issue with printing 6" x 9" envelopes and they are wrinkling. Most envelopes are suitable for use in your Brother machine. However, some envelopes will have feed and print quality problems because of the way they're made. Review the information in the link below to resolve the issue you're experiencing with envelopes creasing or wrinkling. https://help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/152784 If you are still experiencing the same issue, please let us know by contact customer support. https://www.brother-usa.com/contact-us
For some reason the Print Preview option in Printing Preferences was dropped between the HL-L8250 and the HL-L8260. No control over what pages are actually printed. Creates lost time, paper and ink. Not environmentally friendly at all either. Disappointed. I thought by buying a replacement printer in the same model line as the HL-8250 that it would have the same functionality.
The printer jammed the very first time I used it. It only works if I feed one sheet at a time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Dan, the machine is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing large quantities to ensure desirable performance. Store paper in its original packaging and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat. Here is a FAQ that may help. https://bit.ly/32brl72 If this still does not resolve your issue, please contact us by Email or Live Chat so we can work on this together. https://bit.ly/2ztYdeW
This is a very nice printer. It supports native AirPrint, prints duplex, and is a very nice color laser printer. It replaced a previous version of a similar printer...which lasted much longer than expected!
Not sure it the problem is within the printer or the program sending the data but sometimes when I print duplex (flip on long side) - it still prints like I have selected print duplex flip on short side.
