Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Powerful Wireless Color Laser Printer: Brother HL-L3210CW Delivers Superior Quality Results in Compact Size by Rick Alexander

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Careful! Not compatible with Ethernet.

this printer and saw that I could not check the specifications to confirm the presence of a network port. He doesn't have it - this is a different model. So I had to deal with Wi-Fi. I gave up. Oh, did I mention I'm a desktop support IT pro? It didn't want to work well with both my Windows 7 and Windows 10 computers at the same time, so I decided to take the "easy" way out. . I installed it on my Windows 7 PC via USB, shared the printer and installed the share on the Windows 10 PC. I would say the whole installation took about an hour. I think that means people who are less tech savvy will never finish it. It's definitely a picky device considering it's intended for the home office. Furthermore, these complaints about the "deep sleep" mode are valid. If you send documents to him in this mode, they can be permanently queued. You can disable this feature. I use the device sparingly, I only turn it on for the actual print job anyway. Straw that the UPS shuts down and kills all connected equipment. Even if you plug it into a regular surge protector, it still draws enough current in that circuit for said UPS to draw from battery reserves while the printer warms up.) Setup, the printer does a pretty good job. I've certainly seen better quality, but I can't dispute the results at this price point. And by using the right size toner cartridges, the average household probably doesn't have to worry about replacing consumables, they do every few years. In general. I'm ambivalent about this printer. I don't think I can recommend it for its shortcomings, but it produces a pretty good image. If you're willing to struggle with connectivity, there's a good deal here.

Pros
  • Print and connect the way you want: the HLL3210CW printer offers wireless mobile printing(1) and integrated wireless, Wi-Fi Direct and USB.
Cons
  • Neutral
