I bought this to use at home since I no longer have access to my trusty office printer due to covid-19. I only use it on occasion so I can't speak to how it works on big jobs, but I've had zero complaints since setting it up. The one problem I did have - everyone recommends just using the installation package on Brothers' website, but when I did that, it didn't recognize the printer. I uninstalled the software, then reinstalled it from the CD they sent me with the printer, and then it worked right away. So, my recommendation is just to use the disc they send and be done with it.

Great Basic Laser Printer

Like other Brother printers I've owned in the past, this one looks like it's going to be a reliable work horse. Assembly and setup was easy. It has a large paper capacity and reliable paper feed. Print is clear and crisp. My jprevious Brother printer gave me 15 years of service before I gave it to a neighbor, still working! I'm hoping this one will do the same.

I like the quality of this printer but bought it not realizing it was unable to scan. I'll get a brother again that scans and use this one for basics. I've used them all, HP, Canon, etc., Brother is the way to go.

This is a great workhorse printer if you only need blcak and white. It prints envelopes as well as documents. It paired to my network automatically, and takes up very little space on the desktop. Is exactly as described.

So simple to set up and use. Seems like I have printed quite a lot but am still on the starter cartridge. Print quality is great - so much better than my previous ink jet. I highly recommend for basic home printing.

As near to perfect as you can get for this price.

I replaced this model's predecessor after about 10 years of faithful service. I love both printers. My only gripe is that after 10 years, Brother still hasn't gotten the hand-fee to print envelopes and Avery 5-up address labels straight. They always, ALWAYS print cock-eyed, even if I hold the label and make sure it guides in straight. Very disappointing!

I purchased this very basic printer because my older "Brother" ink jet was failing me and drinking ink. I decided I could get by with a black only printer that wasn't an ink jet. So far I've proved myself correct. I'm very pleased with my basic printer and I'd recommend it to anyone thinking about purchasing one.
