HL-1470N We like it.

We have had good luck with Brother printers so we bought this Network model. Our reasons were the speed, price and low cost per page. We are using XP and have it networked through a Netgear router to three computers. We don't have to leave a print...

Very quiet, fast. Cost per page is very low. Networking through router works very well

Envelopes are a pain but OK. ; 10 ; Setup for XP network is confusing but works well

It was great while it worked.

When I first bought my HL-1470N in May of 2002, I was really impressed. It was easy to install, it supports every Macintosh and Windows operating system version (a requirement for me as the printer is in a private computer lab), and it's got a very...

Great cross-platform support. Easy to set up

Died very soon after the warranty expired

Good value for a medium volume networked printer

We bought about 20 of these to use in lower-volume (fewer than 2000 pages per month) locations. For a networked laser printer that speaks both Postscript and PCL they are a real bargain, especially considering their 15 page-per-minute speed (although...

Good value: fast, networked, and easy to setup

Second paper tray expensive ; consumables expensive at higher volumes

Still going strong (since August 2001!) Great value.

The HL-1470N shares a print engine with the models HL-1230, HL-1440 and HL-1450. It is the follow on product to the HL-1240, HL-1250 & HL-1270N printers. Overall the HL-1470N appears to be a solid choice. Since the basic printer will be reviewed ...

Postscript, PCL6 & Ethernet. Quiet & low power. Separate drum & toner

No duplexer. Must power cycle printer to cancel a print job
