Pretty Sweet
First I tried the printer/USB cable and it printed from my iMac computer. I didn’t even need to download any software. Next, I tried wireless from my iPad, just needed to make sure that they were both on the same Wi-Fi network and it printed great, no new software required. It’s a pretty sweet printer and meets my needs perfectly.

Unfortunately we had to return it
Hooked it up and it made a copy and printed a page. It would not scan the second date it stopped print in and copying. We deleted the printer and divers and downloaded the installation again. Still had problems so we returned it

Really impressed
Used for my home office …. Dose everything I need it to do …. Over all this machine seems to work just great and has a lot of features that I didn’t even know it had when I bought (like duplexing) staples employee recommended this model saying it was easy to set up and was a popular one at their store… he was correct about it being easy to set up and I can see why this...

Easy set up, great print quality
The printer was essentially self starting and the wifi set up was straight forward. Larger than the HP that quit working, it still fits the space easily. Print quality is great and first copy speed acceptable

DO NOT BUY BROTHER LASER PRINTER
As soon as printer was out of 14 day return policy it ceased to access online connection with no problem on any other device in the home. Removed the printer and reinstalled no help Went to Brother website which turned out to be hacked and ended up in fruitless help and wasted hours. Called Staples and they gave me a Brother phone contact number and have been attempting...

Purchased this unit and warranty/technology team program
. They assisted setup to phone and computer. Made the new printer so much easier to set up.

Decent but has issues with grabbing too much paper
This printer has solid reviews, but it likes to take more than one page in between printing sometimes, which ruins its double sided printing sometimes. This printer is new and used new paper too.

Unhappy Customer
I am not pleased with your product. Previous hp was better. The Staples salesman convinced me that it was better when I couldn't get my usual hp (unavailable at the time) Your machine pulls in the paper to be copied and always turns it so that a crooked copy appears. i need to copy it again and sometimes again, If I create excessive copies (20 or 30), your exit area doe...

Power failure requires reconnection to the network
It's great except for just one thing. I wish the printer would be smart enough to remember it's wifi connection, and reconnect itself to the network on it's own after a power failure.

Perfect for BW Printing
This printer is well made and dependable. I use it for every project not requiring color. It is responsive and has performed without error in the 3 months I’ve used it.

Very Pleased with purchase
Well ink jets just cost too much for ink refills. It was time to try something different. Brother Laser, well I'll try it and so far very pleased with the printing, double side, and time will tell if the cost will be different for refill time. We aren't heavy print people but for our home use it been great.

Six month review
This printer was super easy to setup. The black and white print quality meets or exceeds my needs for home use and school projects for children. I’m not really sure how quick it prints as most jobs are done and waiting on me from the time I hit print and walk to the printer. I made it through tax season which is where I encounter the highest volume printing, no issues. ...

Perfect machine for your home office
I bought this machine to replace my old printer and my old scanner and I am very happy with this printer+scanner+fax combo (MFCL2820DW). It also has a FAX feature, but this is the only feature I am not going to use.
The list of features I like would basically list all of the features of this printer
