Review on Brother HL2230 Monochrome Laser Printer by Jason Bellman

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 Linux it worked great for me. I received the laser printer three days after ordering. it is online and rejoiced immediately after opening the box. Set it up and downloaded the Ubuntu deb drivers from the website and immediately noticed that they only come in 32-bit. I found a website that explains in detail how to force install 32-bit Linux drivers on 64-bit Ubuntu. It turned out that after a reboot, my Ubuntu 11.10 saw the laser printer with no problems. After loading a stack of paper and checking all the settings, I first took a printer test page and couldn't believe how sharp and clear the images and text were. . Then I tried to print my first PDF and again - perfect text and images. Keep in mind that this is a black and white printer, which is fine with me. This printer has the following features: 1. USB printing.2. Toner lasts much longer than ink, allowing you to print up to 2,500 pages with a larger toner carriage.3. Works great in Ubuntu 11.10 Linux.4. Refill the toner basket up to four times. If all you need is USB and black and white printing without a network connection, this is the printer for you. small operating system and this laser printer still works great. Installing the DEB drivers is a bit tricky, but still compatible if done correctly. The printer is working like new with no problems. UPDATE: 07/11/2017 Good news. The My Brother HL-2230 still performs like a champ. I had to replace both the toner and the toner drum. Visit Max's office and buy the items I need. I've upgraded my Linux since my last check and am now using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and the printer still works great with the same drivers I've used in the past. Be prepared when it comes time to replace the toner drum, it could cost you $180 for OEM. So far, so good. The printer itself has not changed yet. Will keep everyone updated as more things need to be replaced or fixed.
