I LOVE IT! I have purchased and used many different printers over many years of personal computing. This is my first Brother printer and my first Laser Printer. The printer was extremely easy to set up get running on my wireless network. I have used this new printer for about one month now and since the very first test page, this printer has worked perfectly. I was surprised at how much faster it is than any of the name brand ink jet printers I have used that cost almost twice as much. Best of all, it works well with inexpensive toners. There are no continuous hassle with ink cartridges, chips, and intrusive manufacturers software gimmicks that seem to always do more to prevent the printer from working than getting the job done. I am greatly relieved to distance myself from insanely expensive, short-lived, ink cartridges that always seem to need maintenance.

I still have my ink jet all-in-one that I use for scanning, FAXing, copying, and an occasional color print out. If I had it to do over again I would buy one just like this one but with the built-in scanner. This way I could avoid the ink jet except when color is absolutely required.
Even my spouse, who is technically challenged, has had no trouble at all getting the prints she wants without having to go through three or
four trouble shooting steps to get there. The two-sided print feature works with full size or booklet output without a hitch and did I mention that it is very fast.
I admit one months experience does not demonstrate long-term reliability but, at this point, I heartily recommend this inexpensive laser printer for anyone who primarily wants fast, low cost, flexible, black printed copies within a few seconds after hitting the print button.
I will update this in about a year or so and comment on longer-term reliability.

I still love this printer. I have owned it a less than a year but long enough to be impressed with the way it continues to provide excellent service with a minimum of hassle.
There are only two inconveniences that I have encountered worthy of mentioning.
(1) This printer does not handle card stock well at all. I have been unable to satisfactorily print odd sized greeting cards on card stock.
(2) I have not discovered how to cancel a print job once it starts printing. I can pull out the paper tray and it will stop printing but printing resumes when the tray in reinserted. The ON/OFF switch does not work midway through a printing process. The only way I have found to cancel a print process is to unplug the printer.
I still recommend this printer and I would buy it again, even if the cost had not come down a lot.
