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

Easy to set up, Great quality
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
I bought this printer for my home office. It was to replace an HP LaseJet 6L which I had had for more than 10 years. I used to attend the church of HP for all of my printer needs, but had heard that they now come loaded with TONS of extraneous software that slowed them WAY down, and that others, most noticably Brother, had really caught up in terms of quality and features. It's true. I am not a technology whiz kid, but I had this printer up and running wirelessly in about 30 minutes. The output is excellent for what I need. I've heard complaints about the printer being noisy, but haven't found that to be a problem at all. And the printer works great with third party (cheaper) toner. I am really happy with this purchase.
