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

As a person working in IT we all hate printers as it is. But this printer take the cake. This is a brand new printer and every print job is filled with black dots all over the page. Turning to brother support they recommend you clean the drum of any debris that can be causing these dots. This is a brand new printer!! I have a business to run. I bought this printer to aid with my business not to take more time out of my day. Even after cleaning the drum as recommended I am still getting black dots everywhere. Horrible printer. Will never buy a brother printer again. How can you allow this to happen? You have been warned. Do not buy!!

Works great ,connected to my compute without problem. Fast clear coppies LOVE IT

Im using this as a desktop printer in a Mac/PC/Linux corporate environment with other all-in-one printers/copiers and color laser printers on my network. Print speed is fast, but as with just about all laser printers with higher page-per-minute printing capability, you trade a bit of print quality for speed. The print quality is fine and comparable to most faster monochrome laser printers, but doesnt match the near typeset quality of a Canon Imageclass D1650 down the hall. However, the cost per page of this printer is about half of the Canon, so for most business documents, this Brother printer is a good balance of toner cost, print quality, and speed. I have had several other Brother laser printers and they all were good quality and lasted for quite a few years. But if youre looking for the best print quality, check out Canon printers. I have a Lexmark monochrome all-in-one, two HP color laser printers, an HP monochrome all-in-one, and a couple of small Brother desktop printers, and all work well, but the Brother printers are tried and true workhorses for 95% of our printing. Lexmarks interface is overly complicated, the HP all-in-one print queue gets stuck sometimes, and the printing cost of the HP color lasers is high enough to avoid printing all but color documents with them. The up front cost of the Brother HL-L5100DN is low and the long-term cost is also on the lower end for monochrome laser printers.

Wrinkles first several pages. Toner leakage all down the right side. Swiped corolla wire, spray dusted inside. Same result. Purchased as refurbished from this vendor. Used cartridge supplied. Just a mess. Sent message to vendor. No response. Worst experience with a Brother printer ever.

Prints great when it doesnt jam or pull two checks/papers at one time... Cant use it for office checks because it sometimes pulls 2 checks instead of one & then the sequence is off. It wont even print 3 checks in a row without screwing up. Even printing reports, it sometimes pulls 2 sheets & jams, & that is different paper than the check paper.. So I am back at finding a printer that will print consecutive checks& not screw the sequence #s up..

Needed to replace an older model Brother B&W duplex printer and found this later-generation model for a smokin business price, way cheaper than anything comparable anywhere else. I dont need wireless (it connects to LAN by Ethernet) which may not meet an all-WiFi home office setup. Operation is flawless, and its a lot faster than the one it replaced. Old printer donated to AZ-STRUT for reclamation and recycling.

Ya know I’ve had two of these.... both of them have terrible print quality... it will duplicate the header of a page to the center of the page... i tried alcohol, wiping the drum, etc... Junk. I’m done with the Brother brand. I print about 150,000 documents a year. I would recommend investing a few more bucks into something more reputable

I only use this printer occasionally. At first it printed great. But after several months, it started to print dirty pages. This is the result of the drum unit going bad. Ive printed somewhere around 150 pages total. Ive had brother printers before and they lasted a long time. This one is very disappointing. Brother needs to improve the quality of their drum units.

I have only had this printer for one year and it is barely printing anymore. It has black ink spots all over the pages, the page numbers on the bottom of the page are not printing and there is black ink all along the side of the page. I have been trying to go through support and I have tried cleaning every different part. Nothing has helped. I am so frustrated!

We should have paid closer attention! Product is fine, just didnt meet our needs! It has one function, to print. And that one function is in black and white only.
