Review Summary
2026-03-29T20:00:00
As a printer it works fine... As a scanner, the software isn't great. It does a poor job of handling odd paper sizes, especially when you use the glass rather than the automatic document feeder. The auto-feeder can skew the pages even when you're careful setting the alignment. All in all, it's not awful but it's annoying and given the opportunity, I'd probably purchase something with a better scanner interface.

I bought two machines. One is working fine. The other is a complete failure. It is jamming every page and only good for scanning. Due to travel I have missed return window so stuck with it.

I wish I had bought this as my second printer. We basically use it to print my wife's music for choir. I had an Epson XP830 printer before and for what I spent on their color cartridges I could have bought 3 of these printers. We love this printer, so fast and clear. Very Easy to set up.

Reliable little printers lightening fast and reasonably priced. Printing from iPhone, however, is extremely poor quality. Must use computer for legibility.

This printer works much better than the horrible HP printer I recently purchased. This printer prints very quickly! It saves me so much time. The one thing you have to watch is, if you are printing a big job, don't let too many printed pages stack up or it will jam. The toner seems to run out quickly too, so I recommend to get the extended toner. Otherwise, I love this printer!

Can't update because for some stupid reason you need a password for updating the printer??? The default password on the machine doesn't work, don't bother with Brother.

I considered this machine to be noisy when printing. Its scanning amenity is quiet. It comes overly boxed.

This device works well, looks good, but the buttons and sequence of what to press in which order is confusing. I just guess. The scanning works well and (unlike my previous Epson) this unit pulls a stack of documents through the top without jamming.

Our old Brother HL-2280DW printer finally broke down after 12 years of service, so we bought this one. The installation was very simple, and it works beautifully!

Great printer, so far. My old Brother, I used for 12 years, printing 15,000 pages every year.

The hardware works great, that deserves 5 stars, but the driver, setup and web interface is so much more complicated then it needs to be. I do not recommend for low-tech users or users without constant WIFI access

Easy to use except for figuring out how to scan directly from printer to laptop file. Can print from laptop. To printer and save.

I love our printer. However, I'm unable to download updates. It doesn't recognize the password that came with the machine.

This printer is replacing a Cannon ink jet printer as I finally got fed up with clogging ink jet nozzles! I don't really need color prints so this black only laser jet is perfect for my applications. Setup was quick and easy and with the Brother app I really enjoy the ability to print directly from my cellphone. I should have bought this years ago! Used it a dozen times so far and its not obnoxiously loud and takes up a reasonably small footprint.

Outstanding product - relatively easy set up. Only minor irritant is typing in WiFi password using up/down arrows with ok button? once you figure out that layout - not so bad? great copy & print features - simple to use. If you are looking for a black&white printer - this is it.

I bought a Brother multifunction printer for my office last year. Last week I bought a second Brother for myself. Much better build quality than my old Epson. Im sold on Brother printers.

This is my first laser printer purchase. I purchased it for business use and opted to try the toner subscription program as well and I couldn't be happier with both. The toner arrived so quickly and they even gave an option to haave an extra sent if you use a higher plan which gives me the peace of mind that I won't be stuck without the ability to print so my business is always prepared. I highly recommend this printer for the quality, the cost and, most importantly, the commitment to customer service. I'm so glad I took the chance on this printer and service.

Great printer, though it's very sensitive to power surges. It's the only printer in my house that goes off line every time electricity blinks off and on. And we have 4. All brothers brand.

A nice economical multi function printer for home use, no need to buy a more expensive business model.

For the price, this is an excellent choice for black-and-white printing. Easy to set up. Works great for printing, copying, and scanning.

Good multi-function but not as reliable as other Brother DCP's

Replaced a bricked HP. Will never get another one. Brother had a difficult startup to get connected with computers. Never did get wireless to work, went out and bought a cord to connect to a computer so I could use it. Will have to figure out why later. Haven't explored scanning at yet. Owner's manual online difficult to use and navigate. Print quality is great. Just wish connecting to the computer was easier.

Wonderful good, reliable printer. Fast, good quality. Simple to use.

Love that I can print from multiple devices, only one printer is needed for the home.
Bill

2026-03-10T20:00:00
I am rating this printer as three stars. If it lasts longer than my previous Brother printer, which became unusable and irreparable, then I will update my review. I was disappointed with the previous printer, but I decided to give Brother one more shot.

terrible Tech Support. I was told I had to spend $400 for malware

I would give this machine five stars if I could get the wireless part to work. My husband and I sent spent several days on it. It's the first time we've been defeated!
