Brother HL-L2340DW

 

The Brother HL-L2340DW is a good pick for a a shared printer in a micro office or a personal monochrome laser printer in any size office.

Small size. Suitable paper capacity for sharing in a micro office. Duplexer (for two-sided printing). Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct.

No Ethernet. No additional paper handling options available.

If you need better-looking output or an Ethernet connector, you should consider the Samsung M2825DW or the Samsung M2835DW. The Brother HL-L2340DW still has a lot going for it, with mobile printing support, ample paper handling, nearly the same speed...

Brother HL-L2340DW Review

 

Good performance, inexpensive operating costs, and a low list price

Inexpensive, low operating costs

Poor interface

The HL-L2340DW is designed to be a simple and inexpensive home printing option. Our testers felt that adding wifi connectivity into that simple design was a mistake, as it didn't feel fully equipped to handle the realities of wifi printing. However, if...

Brother HL-L2340DW review

  (Rating Hidden)

Brother makes a habit of producing compact office printers that punch above their weight, and the Brother HL-L2340DW looks like another fine example. It might be small and mono-only, but it crams in wireless connectivity, duplex printing and a...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Solid printer for the price.

 

Driver install in Linux was easy, no issues. Same for Win10. Once I decided to follow the directions wireless was easy to setup. I thought I could wing it, but you HAVE to go through the steps in the wizard on the control panel. Once I did that setup...

Fast, good print quality, easy wireless setup, small footprint, price. Works in Ubuntu Linux. Advanced options like duplex work good even in Linux.

None that I have seen.

Great printer - once you switch off DEEP SLEEP

 

- fast - economical - easy setup all drivers supported off the bat in osx and windows

deep sleep is broken and must be switched off. to do so: general settings > ecology > sleep > press BACK and DOWN at the same time > OFF > OK

Consumer review (newegg.com)

We do need to talk Bra.

 

Software worked and installed with out any issues on s Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit without any issues. Very happy with the B&W Print quality. Shade is descent for printing B&W imagines. Printed many emails, etc with my android phone without hiccup.

Professional series laser B&W Printer that I recommend to small business that print a 1000 pages or less per month. Using in Wireless Mode with multiple desktops and android phones without any issues thus far. I love pizza.

Power Cord is not removable. Rolling cords to bind up is harder then replacing a power cable with a shorter one. Salad is better for me.

Excellent value

 

Have not really put this thing through its paces but seems to be more than capable of handling a home or small office load. Purchased to supplement an existing color inkjet MFC unit which GUZZLES ink where most of our print jobs are black-and-white and...

- Fast print speed - Pretty fast warmup speed - Makes the toner last - Easy wireless setup - Useful web management page

Great inexpensive printer

 

I was reluctant to buy this because of negative reviews here and on another well-known site. Perhaps this isn't good with Apple computers, but it works very well on Windows 7 Pro that I use. People have claimed it goes to sleep and is difficult to...

- Inexpensive - Ipaid $75 on a Newegg sale - Easy wireless setup. Couldn't really be simpler. Follow the instructions! - Fast print - Sharp, crisp looking text - 250 sheet paper tray -Automatic duplex printing... for $75!

- You have to remember to set the printer to "continue" mode

The little printer that could!

 

Set a DHCP reservation in your wireless router, that way your printers IP address wont change. Not recommended WSD / MAC based printer port (Windows based PC) for the driver as its flaky.

CHEAP toner available, duplex printing, wireless support, 600dpi print quality. Not blazing fast but one of the better values for the $$$

Not as easy to configure as "ma and pa and grandma" would like.
