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

Printer itself is great but i dont feel good about paying $70 for a new toner so soon. I barely finished printing 300 pages of simple text.

love the fact that I can print directly from my iphone now. Might install the app on my ipad as well, so I can print from it as well when I need to.

Bought two of these for the prison system and donated. They have been using them and they say this is the best printer and very efficient and easy to use. If I need another at home, I will buy one of these.

It was easy to setup and prints great.

We have several of these printers at the office and at home and I have been using them for years. They simply work and thats it. Nothing complicated.

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

Flawless. That describes this new Brother HLL5100DN printer. The unit has a very quick start-up time, relatively quiet operation and great print quality. In addition to this, the DN in the name designates this as a duplex and networking printer. The unit features an Ethernet port and USB, and its built in duplexer prints double-sided without adding much time to the print job. Unlike other printers in this price range, the 5100DN also features a display for status messages and a variety of keys for option programming. Most printers in this price range just have a basic error light, so having quick access to problem messages is great. In a small to medium business or busy home, this printer will be a perfect addition. Toner is relatively cheap, and the paper tray has dual media option, for regular sheets, and envelopes.

Once you install BRAdmin you can manage a lot of printer settings over the network, including firmware updates.

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 was using a inkjet printer for my business which is great for color prints and I still use but then my online sales began taking off and I was printing shipping labels like crazy. The price of inkjet ink was killing me and the slow print times. After a month I purchased this printer on Amazon. WOW it prints crazy fast and over the last year I printed 10,000 envelopes, 500 package slip and paper invoices, and college papers for my teenager. My best guess is 15,000 prints and I havent changed a cartage yet and have had very few misprints. I would buy this again I am incredibly happy with this purchase.
