Brother Monochrome Laser Printer, HL-L5100DN, Duplex Two-Sided Printing, Ethernet Network Interface, Mobile Printing, Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready

Fast, quiet, works. What else can I say? I have an RJ45 (network) interface so I cant speak to the USB or wireless setup. The duplexer works fine. I have not had a chance to evaluate the error codes as none have occurred. Just a good, basic laser printer. I use if for all my non-color jobs.

This is my fourth Brother laser printer. All these printers do their job well, rarely calling attention to themselves. It doesnt get much better than that. Paper jams are very rare and the duplex mechanism works well. Envelopes feed through well. Text is uniformly sharp and clear (I always use the highest quality setting). I dont have much experience with the fancy features of the software such as Air Print. But the basic software works flawlessly. I am suspicious of the word Business in the name of this product. The implication is that the printer is built tough to survive use by indifferent or careless people. Well, thats my interpretation anyway. This printer is certainly of a high quality, but the plastic parts are thin and bendy. I expect my Brother printer to last forever. In a business environment, I am not so sure.

I use the manual sheet feeder very often and it constantly jams on the 1st page feed. Probably about 90% of the time it jams.

The HLL5100DN is a nice printer at a very good price point. It has an LCD display and small control panel that makes it easier to configure and do certain things compared to cheaper ones that dont have that feature. The print quality is quite good very sharp and crisp and it prints pretty fast. This is a small office class printer even though for me it is mainly home and some business use. It has usb and Ethernet connectivity but not built in wireless. Thats fine for my purposes because I prefer to connect it directly to my wireless router. If you need the built in wireless capability then get the 5200, 6180 or the 6200 which will cost you about $100 - $200 dollars more.

Had I known in advance that this printer is booby trapped to prevent use of partially used toner cartridges, I would not have bought it. It took a day of research and a lot of tinkering with the toner cartridges to bypass the downright sneaky booby trap. Rebuilt and aftermarket toner cartridges work just fine in this machine; however, you must never take one out if it has any toner left in it because the machine will reject it if you try to put it back in. This is akin to building a car that when a tire goes flat you cannot have it patched; rather, you have to buy a genuine Smashmouth Auto replacement tire which costs five times what other equivalent tires cost. Brother really has tried its best to screw the customer.

Works excellently as a school Google Cloud Printer.

Great Printer, work very well & fit our needs perfectly. Seller very easy to work with & printer arrived on they date specified.

Printer has very poor resolution, and smears ink across the paper consistently, I wish I could just get rid of it.

I wont go into every minutiae, as many have already done so. This is mostly about print quality (which, oddly enough, is rarely mentioned). The quality of the print, especially compared to the likes of Xerox Phaser or HP, etc., is just plain terrible. If anything, its certainly not the 1200x1200 DPI they claim it to be. Its not even 600x600 in my opinion. Id place it more at about 300x600. This deception in marketing alone is what earned it a two star rating from me (sorry, but print quality is a deal breaker for me). Print speed is indeed fast, even from a deep sleep. If youre able to get it at a lower price (it was just down to $115) and just need a cheap and fast machine for invoicing and student use, it might suit your needs. Ill try to upload some comparison photos. Pros: -Fast wake-up and printing -Small form factor -Relatively quiet -Plug and play -Auto duplex -Includes a full ink toner cartridge Cons: -Terrible print quality -No WiFi/Bluetooth

It jammed and stopped working the day after I opened it.
