Best Printer for office

I was introduced to Brother brand by a colleague. It was like love at first sight. This printer never fails and it's user friendly. I have my printer for over a year now. I haven't had an issue. Highly recommended!!

Wasteful- Will be trashing.

This product decides the moment it gets the slightest bit low that you can no longer print even if you have 50 to 100 or more pages worth of toner left in the cartridge. Cartridge was not even streaking and still heavy with toner and I can not print. Locking a person out from their own printer so you can demand more money is extremely dishonest. I will be trashing this product. This is my first and last Brother purchase.

My Brother printer

I love my printer, it does all the jobs that I need. The HL-2240 is a strong choice if you're shopping for a text-only printer that can print from the cloud and won't empty your wallet on toner refills.

Right printer and right price in the future too.

Far too many times the ink required to refill a printer costs more than just buying a new printer and tossing the old one. Such is not the case with this printer. The toner cartridge is reasonable and goes a long way, especially with 4 grandchildren who would print 10 copies of something, just in case. I bought a Brother color printer because I liked this one so much.

B/W Laser Printer-Great Printer

Right now I have a Brother B/W Laser Brother Printer; this is my 4th Brother Laser Printer, used many years doing Income Taxes for Tax Clients; never have had any problems with any of these; paper Never jambs; runs quietly and prints great. I hope one day to purchase A Brother COLOR Laser Printer; instead of having 2 printers. I am 70 yrs. old. Also purchased Brother Sewing Machine. Would highly recommend any Brother Products, customer service is also great!

Brother HL-2240

Great laser printer at a good (low price. It works great. My only complaint might be that (to my knowledge) it doesn't print 2-sided automatically, but it is a great printer!

not blaming the printer

Bought a Brother HL-2240 several months ago. Worked great and was very pleased until late spring. For no apparent reason, the fan stayed running 24-7. Still under warranty, I took it in for maintenance. After a long wait (5+ weeks), Brother decided to replace printer. Pleased though a bit put out by not having use of my printer at a crucial time, I took the replacement home. First copy out had blank and blurred left side. I printed a few more after shaking toner as prescribed in troubleshooting. No change. Took printer in. After another 3 weeks was told the toner cartridge was the issue which isn't under warranty (even though it was the cartridge they sent me with the replacement). My original printer also had new toner that I bought shortly before it broke. So.... no printer for basically 2 of the 1st 10 months which meant several trips to UPS for printing AND lost my new toner cartridge with exchange and now have to buy another new one! To add insult to injury I'm down to 2 months warranty on a machine I've basically never used! NOT happy with how Brother handled this AT ALL!!!

Best Copier in its Class

Printed a 170 page printout in just a few minutes. Not a hitch. Holds enougth paper to complete large jobs. A cinch to go operational. Toner cartridges hold enough toner to go & go. A smart purchase!

HL-2240 very nice printer

The HL-2240 printer is fast and works very nice for our purpose, which is to print small amounts of documents for home use. We also have a HL-2040 model that we have used since 2009 and it also has worked very well. That's why we bought this new model, and we are still using the older model too. The first starter toner lasted almost 3 years, so we got our monies worth there!

Best Printer Ever Had

I bought this laser printer to replace the previous model. So far it has been flawless, just like the model before it. I am looking forward to years of good service from this printer.

Good option for print only

This product was perfect for me as I did not want a fax or scanner. The small size makes it excellent for a home office and not having to replace cartridges every few months is especially positive.

HL-2240

neat little machine....but it would not print pdf's I had emailed to myself for printing while on vacation. After at least an hour with your Brother people, and more time with AVG - because they seemed to think that was the problem - I considered the whole thing a bust. I mean if a printer can print pdf's what good is it. Pretty much a $200 waste of money!

Good printer.

The printer works fine, the print is very good. My only complaint is it is very noisy. I had the model that this printer replaced and it was very quiet. Other that that, it is a good laser printer.

Not satisfied at all. I wanted an inexpensive printer; so I guess I got what I paid for. Will not likely buy another Brother product/

1. Makes a lot of humming noise when first turned on. 2. Leaves a 16th inch dark line on the right side of every page printed. 3. OTHERWISE IT IS A VERY GOOD MACHINE.

hl 2240

fast, uses much too much toner for documients, large 450 cartride acts like a normal cartridge, replacing drum is an extra charge no warning about toner being low, used twice as many as in pervious years with samsung printers, toner prices at=re no bargain either

Good cheap laser printer.

The Brother HL-2240 was purchased to replace an HL-2220 that stopped working after 2 years. The problem was reported out as a "Heater Unit" failure error, and online parts were not available for me to fix it. The price of a similar part was more than half the price of the new printer, so I went with new. My wife burns through reams with her school work, so it had served well.

Very Pleased

I am very pleased with this Brother printer. I tried one and have since purchased 3 more model 2240 printers. Overall I have purchased 7 brother printers for home and office and the only model I am disappointed with is the 2270 DW wireless Duplex printer that stopped functioning after about 7 months. I will say that these printers are inexpensive enough to replace and it is well worth taking a chance on them. I was not familiar with Brother printers before my first purchase and I will say that I was pleasantly surprised. Check the internet for ways to extend the cartridge life, it will make this printer even more inexpensive to run!

HL-2240

I purchased this printer after having a Samsung ml-2525. That printer was nothing but problems since I purchase it and cost were outrageous. The Brother printer has been flawless and economical. Highly recomended

A Pleasant Surprise

I love my printer. I was looking for a laser printer that was affordable for my work. I came across a deal and to my surprise I love my printer. The copies are clear and the printer is easy to use. If your looking for a laser printer that offers good quality copies buy a HL-2240. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent Value; Good Printer

I purchased this for a dedicated printer to be used in the parts dept. Used primarily for purchase orders, printing equipment reviews from the net, etc. I have no complaints about the printer. I found this on sale for 50% off its regular price, so I consider it an excellent deal.
