Brother HL-2170W

By (cnet.com)

Speedy text document printing; modest price tag; compact form factor; wireless option is convenient after initial setup, short initial lag time.

Wireless installation has some difficulty; poor graphics quality; lacks autoduplexing.

The Brother HL-2170W laser printer can be the perfect money saving sidekick to your existing inkjet, but don't expect it to handle even the most minor graphic jobs.

Setup couldn't have been simpler. The large ... 

Easy setup, multiple configurations possible (Mac/Windows, USB/Ethernet/Wireless. Small, quiet printer. Prints very quickly. Rock bottom pricing.

The flash setup application on Mac (Tiger 10.4) was pretty slow. The toner cartridge supplied is rated for only approximately 1,000 pages, but most printer companies provide half filled toner with new printers.
