Brother HL-1850 review: Brother HL-1850

 

Brother HL-1850

Fast print speeds; outstanding text quality; integrated duplexer.

Mediocre graphics output; disappointing paper capacity.

Brother HL-1850 Laser Printer 19ppm 16mb Hq1200dpi 350 Sheet Input

 

WHAT'S HOT: We admired the HL-1850's print quality on text and lines: Like the corresponding output of the Brother HL-2460N, these looked slightly too light on our test documents, but otherwise were quite attractive. The HL-1850 even does a reasonable...

Brother HL-1850 LASER PRINTER 19PPM 16MB HQ1200DPI 350 SHEET INPUT (Brother-HL1850)

 

The HL-1850 delivers great performance and features, but its price makes it a tough sell for a single user--unless you need its internal duplexer.

An outstanding workhorse

 

This is an outstanding workhorse of a printer. We bought it replace an aging Lexmark. We chose it because we do some printing from DOS, and this is one of the few laser printers around that included emulations for Epson, Okidata, and IBM Proprinter. ...

Great printer for the money... once you get it installed

 

I purchased a Brother HL-1850 for home use, to be shared via USB hot-plugging between two Windows 98 machines, and a Mac OS X Powerbook (I know, networking would be the right way to go, but I am trying to watch the pennies, and it mostly gets used on...

Nifty duplex feature, easy to use front panel controls, economical operation, flexible paper path options

A bit noisy when running, wonderfully detailed driver install instructions don't work
