Review: Brother HL-2280DW laser printer

 

The included color scanning feature distinguishes this basic small-office monochrome laser, but its toner costs are higher than average.

The HL-2280DW supports USB, ethernet, and wireless connectivity. The simple control panel includes a two-line, 16-character monochrome LCD and a handful of labeled buttons. The CD-based installation is well documented and progresses very smoothly

Rock Solid Printer

 

Solid Printer for home use. I have printed 400 page owners manuals with it, no problem

Starter cartridge ran out pretty quick. Replaced with a Rosewill, been running like a champ for a long time now (over a year)

I bought it more than one year, but I just opened and would like to use it today. The printer was received with the printer drum and toner cartridge already installed. Printing multiple test pages resulted in every page being covered in toner (both...
