Great Home Network Printer

Strengths: Easy setup on wireless, reasonable toner costs

Weakness: Dims lights ith startup power draw

This is a great home printer. Its not the smallest; but with the wireless network feature you can put it anywhere nearby (you don't need to have it within a cable length of your desk). Time for the first page out is pretty good; and I have no complaints about the print quality. I like that the paper cassette is a closed draw -- I've had drums scratched from dirt accumulation on the paper with a...

Good printer with one minor flaw

Strengths: Quick Start, fast printing speed, wireless

Weakness: no wake on LAN

Overall I am satisfied with the printer. It does everything I need it to do, and wireless connectivity allows me to place it far from my crowded desk without having to worry about having network connectivity. As a matter of fact, it is placed in my audio cabnet and completely out of sight. I only wish the unit had a sleep function and automatically wake up when print job is sent. Right now I had...

HL-2170W Laser Printer

Strengths: Small footprint Fast output

Weakness: A bit noisy when warming up/printing Erroneous dashes on the first couple of pages

This printer is a great deal. I have been wanting a nice laser for a while but buying one back then was a bit pricey for me given a light duty cycle. Decided to go with this Brother because the price offer was great, their name has lasted for years and quality products do have a long life span, and free shipping from an online retailer. The output was as expected but noticed on the first ~10...

Brother 2170W

Strengths: Wireless Network Printing, Compact Size

Weakness: Feels a little cheap (plastic)

Initial set up is much easier using a cable to attach it to your network access point. It took a few attempts to make sure the MAC ID was allowed on the wireless network. Printer is highly and easily configurable via http. Love the ability to locate the printer anywhere within the wireless network's range! All future printers should come with wireless access!

Brother HL-2170W

Strengths: Economical Laser printing, ready to use out of box, wired and wireless networking options

Weakness: None

Fast and good quality laser prints. Comes with toner and last much longer than regular ink cartridges. Wireless and wired networking options are great and easy to set up. Quiet in operation and light weight.

Simple, fast and easy setup

Strengths: wireless, fast

Weakness: none

This is probably one of the easiest printer setups I have ever done. After following the instructions on the included cd, the printer was wirelessly printing from our 5 computers in the house. It prints very fast, the type/images are crisp and clear, and its totally silent when its in sleep mode. (Which I was worried about, but it turned out great.) I would recommend this printer to anybody that...

Great Printer

Strengths: Very easy to setup...took me longer to unpack it then to set it up for wireless printing. Must use the network cable for the setup though.

Weakness: None so far...still working off the toner that came with the printer.

We already had a HP Color Wireless printer and was going through ink like nobodies business. So decided to take a look at a BW printer. Got this for $90 dollars at newegg.com. Like I said above the installation was easy...not sure why others had problems. I did use the network cable as part of the process which was recommended in the guide. I have installed on Windows XP SP3 and Vista with no...

My First Laser

Strengths: Easy to set up-fast print speed!

Weakness: None so far...

Because my Windows98 vintage HP inkjet finally crapped out I picked up the HL-2170W from Best Buy for $109 yesterday. Connected VIA ethernet cable to my Airport Extreme wireless router, the wireless Macbook was very easy to run print setup on (5mins). Running the Auto seek setup on my Dell desktop XP Home machine was a bit more troublesome and this comp is connected directly to the mac router. I...

Excellent product

Strengths: Wireless printing option

Weakness: You have to manually set it as a static IP to prevent the router from changing it. Wish it had a sleep option. Also wish it was in color.

I can't say enough good things about this printer. I wish it had a sleep option though. Otherwise it is always on. Also, it was difficult to get it configured properly because the router kept changing the IP but from then on, it's smooth sailing. I wish it was in color!

Excellent SOHO printer

Strengths: * Compact size * High speed printing * Wired and Wi-Fi connectivity

Weakness: None

Excellent printer that can satisfy printing needs of an individual user or a small group. The Wi-Fi connection option adds extra flexibility for roaming/mobile users. The printer is very easy to set up. Although the printer itself lacks a sophisticated status panel, comprehensive real-time printer diagnostics and status information is available via web-based interface--a standard feature of this...

Brother HL-2170W

THE GOOD: Speedy text document printing; modest price tag; compact form factor; wireless option is convenient after initial setup, short initial lag time. THE BAD: Wireless installation has some difficulty; poor graphics quality; lacks autoduplexing. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Brother HL-2170W laser printer can be the perfect money saving sidekick to your existing inkjet, but dont expect it to handle...
