This has nothing to do with

Printer was on sale

It doesn't come with the USB AB cable needed to plug into my computer; That's not cool, I priced them out at local stores and the cheapest one I could find was a $15 10-foot cable, so I ordered one from Newegg instead for $3.50; It was a 15 foot cable, too

I thought I was replacing and older Brother HL-L2300 printer, after being very satisfied with it, it was wireless and I didn't know this one had to wired to my computer. It looked just like my old one on the surface. But I still love it in my office.

This is a rock solid printer. I have gone thru two Epson color ink jet printers in the time I had this. For printing drafts, etc, BW only, this cannot be beat. The toner lasts forever. Since this is not WIFI, I bought a second for a different room. Could not pass up this great deal from B&H.

The Brother HL-L2300D monochrome laser printer ($119.99) is small enough to sit on your desk without taking up a lot of space and is limited to connecting via USB cable. The combination defines it as a personal printer for any size office. Despite the small form, however, it delivers a level of paper handling that would be suitable for sharing. Add in its fast speed and more-than-acceptable output quality, and it's an easy pick as our Editors' Choice low-cost, personal monochrome laser printer. When it comes to paper handling, the HL-L2300D ($96.88 at Amazon) delivers a point-for-point match with the Samsung Xpress M2625D ($470.00 at Amazon) , another top pick. Both models offer a 250-sheet tray, a one-sheet manual feed, and a built-in duplexer (for two-sided printing). This should easily be enough for even heavy-duty use by personal printer standards. Almost as important as the paper handling is the small size. The HL-L2300D weighs just 15 pounds, making it easy for one pers...

Used as a student printer to churn out a lot of articles yet take up not too much space. Very low running costs combined with crisp print quality. The duplex well worth having as well.

I have been trying to install this printer for a while now. First, it didn't come with a USB cable, so I had to wait till order a cable. Now it is not printing from my laptop because mine has USB 3.0.

Brother has introduced a range of new laser printers for the SOHO market promising "affordable, compact and reliable print". The range includes standalone printers and all-in-ones, with RRPs ranging from just ￡90 (around $142, AU$165) to ￡251 (around $395, AU$462) including VAT.

I love my new printer! The ink is way cheaper than jet printers (I bought the compatible V4INK on amazon) and it prints well and fast. I'm not worried about printing longer documents (100 pages of text) as I would have been with my previous printer that used to always run out of ink.
