Brother MFC-L2820DW Wireless Compact Monochrome All-in-One Laser Printer with Copy, Scan and Fax, Duplex, Black & White | Includes Refresh Subscription Trial(1), Works with AlexaEPEAT

After years of struggling with inkjets and wasting more ink than I actually used in printing, I finally gave up and bought a toner-based laserjet. Should have done that years ago, but they were so expensive and inkjets were so cheap. Live and learn. I downloaded the EzeSetup as recommended. The printer worked fine printing internal reports and copying, but wouldn't receive print jobs from the wired network, the wireless network, or the USB plugged directly between the printer and the PC. All print jobs showed being sent then changed to "error". Being one who likes to figure things out myself, I kept banging my head against the printer (didn't affect the printer but gave me a headache).Eventually, I saw a link on a Brother support page to a download of the full package for my printer, complete with all drivers, associated software, everything. After I downloaded and installed that package, the set up went flawlessly. Within a few minutes, I was printing and was very happy!!About my only complaint would be the sounds the printer makes to, I guess, let you know it's received your instructions and is processing them. It's easily turned off or turned down through the display screen, though, so it's easily fixed. The printer is quick, reasonably quiet, and turns out great black & white pages; crisp, clear, and easy to read.

Nice printer! Especially at the price point I bought it for. Does everything I need, and prints beautifully. Only downside is that it’s a bit noisy, but for the savings and quality I’m good with it. Have used HP for many, many years, but their prices are climbing and they won’t let you use non-HP toner any longer. I refuse to pay $80 for a toner cartridge! Brother allows non-Brother toner cartridges and still works great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Big Bang for the Buck!I’ve read hundreds of reviews over the years—some helpful, some hilarious. Now it’s my turn.Setup? A little wild. I tried three different computers and got three different adventures. Not the printer’s fault—it was my computers throwing a tech tantrum. Once it connected, everything ran smooth.Now that it's up and running?This Brother MFC-L2820DW is fast, simple, and loaded with great features. Duplex printing, scanning, and wireless? Yes, please.For the price, this thing’s a total win. Would I buy it again? Definitely.Would I help someone else set it up? Sure—if snacks are provided. 😄

This thing is an incredible printer. It spits out B&W pages within about 2 seconds a page. It does double sided printing and copying as well. It uses a lot less ink than cheaper printers. In fact, switching from a cheap printer saved me more money in ink than the price of the printer.That said, my only issue with this is the scanning. I wish I would have spent the extra $50 for the next level upgrade. The scanning works but it's one single page at a time. You have to scan each page separately on the scanner bed. This makes absolutely no sense as there is a feed tray on top for copying where the pages are scanned. But the scanning is quick, you can do it with one button and you don't need to create a login or account to scan like you do with HP printers.

excellent for home office. I went from a Brother Laser Printer to a HP OfficeJet Pro for ease in color printing for sales presentations when I was working. The HP lasted for 5+ years. Issue was it was always going to sleep and not waking up. Ink cartridges were always needing replacement. Wife advised me we no longer needed color printing but dependability and ease of use. This Brother was easy to set-up to my MAC, speed is awesome, two-sided is no problem. Also have ability for top feeding. Never should have left Brother in the first place.
