Strengths: Network connectivity, Duplexing, Blazing Speed
Weakness: Small paper tray (250 sheets max)
I had a big print job to do (6500 pages) and my inkjet just wasn't up for the job and I only had a few days to do it. I bought the Brother 5250DN hoping it would be as fast as advertised (most lasers aren't) and it would handle odd sized paper. It did everything it was supposed to do and it did the job perfectly - not one paper jam, everything aligned perfectly on every page and all was done with...
Strengths: Network-ready, duplex, and fast printing
Weakness: None
I have been using this printer for 1 year now. I printed 100 to 200 pages in duplex mode several times already with no hickups, all kinds of labels and CD labels. It is an excellent printer. It prints fast and the output is crisp. Networking is easy to manage via a browser. Toner lifetime is excellent.
Strengths: Low cost. Duplex (2-sided) printing. Built-in postscript. Built-in network interface.
Weakness: Light plastic construction may not be reliable in long term.
This is a surprising capable and fast laser printer for the price. At under $250 after discount, this machine can do duplex (2-sided) printing, and the built-in network interface works with PC, Mac, Linux, etc. Postscript is also included. The light plastic construction does not give a warm feeling toward long term reliability. However this is just a feeling. My past experience with other Brother...
Strengths: Networking, duplexing, PostScript, very fast.
Weakness: Some noise.
At work, I am a graphic designer on a Mac utilizing the PostScript language. This printer is for home use (also with Macs), but is actually more capable than the older workgroup laser printer I have at work. It is the most feature-packed value I have ever seen. Half-tones are very good, networking allows us all access to the printer (small ethernet network), duplexing saves paper, PostScript...
Strengths: Very fast with quality print and duplexing works great!
Weakness: When using legal size paper, it doesn't take many pages to push the sheets up and over the printer. This can become a mess if you don't watch it. (This is even with the fold out support used.)
This is a great printer if you are looking for one which will fit into a fairly tight budget. It has great print quality for the money and you can't beat how fast it is for the price. There is an additional small 30 page capacity tray which does pull down in the front which allows for another medium to be used which is a great help. I would like to add at least one of the additional trays to...
Strengths: Quick Print Speed, Excellent Print Quality, Low Price, Ethernet Connection
Weakness: Some Paper Curling
Although I haven't been using this printer for a very long time, I did run it through its paces when I got it. The jobs printed exceptionally quickly even at the highest 1200x1200 resolution. The output of text and black&white images was superb, the grayscale images were good, but nothing special. If you want to print pictures get an inkjet. The curling wasn't too bad, but I was testing with...
Strengths: Very fast. Duplex feature is great.
Weakness: A little loud.
I have not complaints so far, although the printer did just start making an occasional popping sound which I'm a little concerned about. The printer was as described - very fast and prints high quality images. I would strongly recommend and am even considering buying an additional one for the office (depending on what happens with that popping sound).
Strengths: Fast printing, auto duplex, network printer
Weakness: None
This latest Brother monochrome laser printer, is priced less than previous similar versions such as the Brother HL-1850 & others. This printer is also not as heavy as previous Brother printers. Plus, this printer prints up to 30 b&w ppm, instead of the usual 20ppm. Love the auto-duplex feature. Printer is very user friendly and print quality is excellent.
Strengths: Performs well, Multipurpose tray instead of a slot, Parallel port, Easy-load paper tray, 32MegaByte memory.
Weakness: Multipurpose tray flops around.
This printer has 2-sided printing and an ethernet port. Excellent print quality at 2400x600(HQ1200) and 1200 dpi. Small and script fonts are crisp. The multipurpose tray will hold about 15 envelopes. I have used it to print 7 envelopes at one time. The paper in the paper tray lies flat when the tray is removed from the printer so the tray is easier to reload. Toner cartridge and drum unit...

Fast printing, fine output quality, and a built-in duplexer make this networked laser a great value for the money.

Great Printer AFTER Tweaking
Strengths: speed of printing, quality of printing
Weakness: front-line support personnel and documentation, especially how to print envelopes from the multi-purpose tray
I had a previous Brother printer which I used for seven years, so I looked at Brother when it came time to replace it. This model had good reviews, and I expected it to be good to go out of the box. Envelopes loaded in the multi-purpose tray came out wrinkled and curled. After checking the online help, we contacted support, who proceeded to READ us the online help screens!!! Fortunately, a more...
