 Great cheap laser printer November 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this printer in October 2008 and have been using it for a month now. I am very pleased with it and I am happier each day. It is easy to use and is as fast as advertised (maybe even faster). After installation I moved it to a corner near a power plug (because the wireless mode needs no other connection) and it faithfully and quickly prints slews of reports.
The setup directions are very clear but you have to follow the directions in the manual precisely. I did have to download new print drivers for Windows Vista and Mac OS 10.5 but other than that I didn't have any issues.
Yesterday I decided to try to print on envelopes. I read the User's Manual on the CD, followed the directions and it printed the first time. (By the way, the print on an envelope will face left so put the envelope flap on the right when you put it in the printer. That part wasn't clear in the manual.)
I think it is a tremendous bargain at the current price. I highly recommend it.
(I am a computer professional with over 25 years experience with PCs).
 great printer except for wireless setup November 14, 2008

this is my first laser printer and it's much faster and crisper than my inkjet printer. have had only one paper jam in the past 1.5 months i've had it. easy to setup if using direct ethernet cable. to set up wireless, however, it took me several attempts and several hours to get it working (and i'm no computer newbie!) for the number of pages it prints, the more expensive toner is worth it (and ends up being much cheaper per page but i can't provide accurate numbers on that).
Working flawlessly so far November 14, 2008

I have been very happy with Brother printers for the past several years. I use them networked at work on an Apple Airport and this one is for my home use. I am very pleased with the quality and speed of printing by this device, though I did not have much luck setting it up through the wireless network protocol (I think it's because my first generation Airport is not truly compatible with it). I have since networked it through my old(er) iMac and my Airport card so that I can still print remotely. These printers, in my experience, hold up very well and seem to be a good value from both the hardware and toner use/replacement aspects. I have no plans to change to a different company's products.
 Not for Mac November 13, 2008
Terrible for the IMac. After hours of effort, I could never get it started. The installation showed complete. The printer displayed on the computer. But it always gave a "printer inactive" error message when it was time to print. It comes with no cables, so I tried every possible combination of cables off the shelf. I've never had this kind of problem getting a peripheral to work on my Macs.
Excellent Printer. Update the Firmware. November 13, 2008

I felt I needed to write this review after reading the review of "Danny Luong" who is a very computer savvy type of person, who built several custom computers, etc. Sadly he cannot operate a network printer which is no surprise to me as I meet several people like him who think they know quite alot and even install zone alarm to feel safer on the internet when zone alarm is just wasting resources. This printer is simple to install. Any pro would know that the first rule it to throw out the user manual and cd that came with the device because it often never helps.
Power up the printer, don't use the CD that came with it, go to the brother website and download the latest drivers, the driver alone is 0.98MB which is all you need to get this working. Plug the cat5 into an Ethernet port of your router then log into your router and see what IP was assigned to the printer. Immediately at this step you would want to copy the MAC address and host name of the Printer and assign it a static IP on your network so you always know where it is. After giving the printer a static IP on the router config you might need to pull out the cat5 for a few seconds then plug it back in for the static IP to be used.
Now that you know the LAN ip of the printer you can use the printer install wizard in Windows, just go through the steps with common sense, select local printer and uncheck the box to auto detect plug and play devices; use standard TCPIP port which you may need to add and input the IP address of the printer which you know because you assigned a static IP to it; use the have disk function and select the driver from the pack you downloaded. Magically your printer will work unless zone alarm is blocking network packets from reaching it.
The next thing you want to do is upgrade the firmware. I have placed this step before telling you how to enable the Wifi because only a moron would try to firmware update over a wireless connection. This is simple once your printer is set up as above just download the firmware update tool and run it, it takes a while to update so do not interfere with it until it is done. Took about 5 mins to complete when I did it.
After the firmware update just log into the printer http configuration by entering its IP into a web browser, similar to how you enter the http setup for a router. Once you are there look for the network settings and set the network mode to automatically switch between LAN and Wifi. This is because LAN and Wifi cannot operate at the same time so it uses one at a time with given preference to the wired connection. Once you enable the wireless on automatic mode save the settings then unplug the cat5 and wait a minute for your wireless router to connect to the printer. Log into your router config and assign another static IP to the printer using the wifi host name and MAC address. Once that is done refresh the lease either by rebooting the router or the printer, I chose to reboot the router since it does not use 460W of power to warm up as the printer can. When the router reboots it will assign the static IP to the wifi card in the printer, follow the add printer wizard again to add another local printer this time with the wifi IP address, all the other steps are same for the wired installation except the IP is different. It should magically work after this. Now you should be able to use your printer wireless by default as well as wired if you plug in the cat5.
If you want to use USB I can't help you, that is too simple, why buy a network printer to use USB anyway.
