🖨️ HL-L5100DN Monochrome Laser Printer with Duplex Printing, Ethernet Network Interface, Mobile Printing, and Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready Review

I won't go into details, many have already done so. This is mostly about print quality (which oddly enough is rarely mentioned). The print quality, especially when compared to Xerox Phaser or HP etc. is just terrible. However, it's definitely not 1200 x 1200 DPI like they claim. In my opinion it's not even 600x600. I would make it larger by about 300x600. That marketing hoax alone earned me two stars (sorry, print quality is critical to me). The printing speed is very fast, even after deep…

Few printers stand out from the crowd when it comes to toner consumption and cost - the Brother HLL5100DN is one of them. Another brand of 8,000-page toner is available for…

Like their other printers (and all-in-ones), Brother has been relatively Linux-friendly for a while. Brother offers driver support for RPM and Deb based distributions. They even provide a script to help you install it. In my case, of course, the script didn't work. I installed the deb files anyway and my printer got installed.
