Good Budget Printer
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features, inexpensive duplexing
Cons: Set up, paper curl
A good budget printer
Most of us buy monochrome laser printers because of the inexpensive cost-per-page when compared to an ink jet. This Brother fills the bill. Its price is great and it comes with a couple of nice bonus features: wireless printing and duplexing.
The wireless was a little complicated to set up. The actual process was not so bad, but the instruction manual is like reading a "choose your own adventure" novel: "If you are using Windows, turn to page 3, 7 and 14; Mac users turn to pages 5, 9 and 15." The duplex feature is very simple: a page ALMOST ejects onto the input tray, then gets sucked back into the printer for page two. Not very elegant, but it works.
One other complaint: the bypass "tray" is hard to manage. It is a challenge to get envelopes, cards, and paper to feed straight through instead of crooked. If you do a lot of cardstock or envelopes you might consider a more expensive Brother with a bypass tray that holds more, like the HD-5350D or HD-5370DW.
This is my fourth Brother laser printer for home and office and I've never been disappointed. They are inexpensive (at least the ones I buy!) and come with a feature set comparable to more expensive brands. For this particular model:
Pro:
Great price
Inexpensive cost-per-page
Duplex printing
Wireless networking
Con:
Some paper curl
By-pass tray is cheesy
Wireless setup a little complicated
