Piece of junk
Cons: Does Not Meet Expectations, Set up
This product does not work with windows 8. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I am very familiar with windows 8, computers in general, and setting up printers. It appears that this product and possibly all brother products are not compatible with windows 8. I realize this is partially microsoft's fault, but brother advertises that they have fixed the issue but they only make it worse by having costumers download useless drivers. My mom is even a computer tech and could not solve the issues. Costumer service was useless as well. Basically the wifi does not work at all for my laptop and took hours to set up on anything else. I would not recommend unless you have a Mac and 20 hours to spend setting this expensive piece of garbage up.

Brother HL2280DW Compact Monochrome Lase Printer
Pros: Meets Expectations, Features, good laser print quality
Cons: Set up
This Brother HL2280DW has good built quality. The print quality is superb nothing short of a good laser printer. The speed is fairly quick once it starts to print.
The negative thing about this printer is the easyness to set it up. I believe more than 1/2 buyers are looking for the wireless feature of this laser printer but it is not easy to set it up. First of all, my router password is something like 25 digits but the HL2280DW's screen only support a certain number charactors (10~15?) therefore I can't do the wireless connection from the printer unless I change my password. I did the set up through the included disc and USB cable... not a clean and easy task... after multiple tries between my three PC/laptop finally I got it to work. One other minor gripe is it take a good 10~20 seconds to process after you hit print.
Again, this is a good laser printer once you set it up correctly and now I do enjoy it a lot.
