GOOD PRICE-PERFORMANCE RATIO!

Good. I went through many printers! However, of all the printers I have tried, I find the BROTHER brand to be the best. I've had: Lexmark, Canon, HP etc just to give you an idea. The brother lives longer than everyone else. I have used this to temporarily replace my 5 year old Brother MFC-845CW which, despite being 5 years old? I love this printer so much I'm willing to pay to have it fixed! I picked this one for its simplicity. It doesn't scan, fax or copy like my other brother, but it prints…

Pros
  • Fast, high-quality printing at up to 24 ppm.
Cons
  • Not for everyone

It depends on the toner cartridge

Unfortunately I have to give this printer a very bad rating. It's fast, easy to install, and prints crisply even in draft mode. When the original toner cartridge ran out, I bought a Brother toner cartridge from Office Depot which was said to print up to 1200 pages. I always set the print option to "Draft" to use less toner. Within two weeks I was getting pop-up messages from Brother every time I printed a sheet. Since I printed fewer than 100 sheets, I just ignored the annoying messages. A few…

Pros
  • Compact size, fits almost anywhere
Cons
  • Security

Good price. Toner lasts a long time.

I needed a printer to print coupons and minimize costs so I decided to invest in a laser printer. The printer is great but I wish I had saved more money and bought the one that came with the scanner/copier. This is a basic laser printer, but it works great if you only want black and white prints. There wasn't much toner in the kit, but it was enough from January to April. I ordered a new toner from Revain in April and the printer still says it's still 75% off. I've always been trying to figure…

Pros
  • Toner save mode for less important business documents
Cons
  • It's ok

My first laser printer

What can I say but WOW. I love this Brother HL2230 laser printer. I used to use an HP 3520 inkjet printer and hated changing cartridges almost every three months because the ink dries up, clogs or just flat out after about 100 pages. After reading the laser printer vs inkjet printer reviews, I decided to buy this laser printer. I was initially a bit concerned that this printer would not work on Ubuntu 11.10 Linux 64-bit, but after reading the reviews on how to get this printer to work on Ubuntu

Pros
  • High Yield replacement toner cartridge
Cons
  • Will write later

Very good printer for $68!

Apparently I made a deal based on the current price which is between $80-$90. and I bought free shipping from Revain on 12/20/2012. It works fast, prints well and was ALMOST easy to install. I use it as a shared printer on my home network (it's not a network printer but can be used through a router) but the software CD that came with it was a problem. The computer it is connected to runs XP, but the rest runs on later versions. If you want to share it, you need to install all the necessary…

Pros
  • 250 sheet adjustable paper tray
Cons
  • Some minor things
