Another great aspect is its affordability and efficiency in handling toner usage, though the toner's cost and capacity can be a bit of a downside. The lack of a USB cable in the package is a minor inconvenience, but easily solvable. Additionally, the printer's design is compact, making it a suitable choice for smaller spaces.
I've also used the Brother HL-L2305W model, which offers a good value for its price, though it only connects to a slower 2.4GHz network. This model is slightly more challenging to set up, especially for those unfamiliar with printer configurations. However, once set up, it delivers excellent print quality.
The printers' performance is commendable, with high-quality prints and the ability to handle various paper types, including cardstock. While they may not be suited for high-volume printing needs, they are perfect for personal or home office use.
Overall, the Brother HL-L2300D and HL-L2305W models are excellent choices for those seeking reliable, cost-effective laser printers with easy setup and solid performance. They are especially suitable for users who do not require color printing and prefer a straightforward, no-frills printing solution.
As for this printer ...
Setup was fairly easy though I did have some problems because I'm blind and couldn't see what I was doing. I'm also a believer in "if all else fails, read the instructions." Being blind, I really only need this for material I need to give to others. To determine what is being printed, I use a scanner with opical recognition software.
Identifying the door for the toner cartridge was easy due to the plastic strap they leave dangling out. It then took me a while of trying to fit the toner cartridge into the area before I discovered the slide out tray it fits in. Then came figuring out the orientation for placing the cartridge in the tray and realizing that it has a protective cover over the back of the cartridge to protect the drum and prevent spilling the toner. The cover came off easily and then the toner cartridge slipped easily into the tray. It's hard to go wrong when installing the toner cartridge; it goes only one way and the front door won't close until the cartridge drawer is completely closed. Note that the dangling plastic strap is attached to a plastic insert under the drawer. I assumed that this thin plastic piece was just packing material, so I didn't try to replace it under the toner drawer. I'll be checking the instructions to verify that this was just packing material.
That leaves only adding a stack of paper. There is a wide notch near the front bottom of the printer to make opening the drawer very easy. The paper needs to be pushed all of the way to the backstop of the drawer. The back stops on the drawer can be adjusted for various paper lengths. It may be necessary to lift the little paper sensor to insert a big stack of paper. The front of the paper may be allowed to curve up over the inside area where the notch for opening the printer is located. I found that the printer works as well whether the input paper is lying flat or is curved up at the front of the printer.
Normally, the paper feeds out onto the top of the printer, but there is a door at the back of the printer which can be opened to allow the paper to feed out the back; a necessary option when using very heavy paper or printing out slides for use with a projector.
Windows 7 identified the printer without problems but did not find appropriate drivers for it. The proper drivers are on the supplied CD. I had had to manually kick off Setup.exe and identify the printer model to install the drivers.
Once the drivers were installed, the printer proved to be very easy to use. Since this printer allows printing on both sides of the paper, dialogue boxes allow you to select this option. Note that the option may be in different places for different programs. For notepad, it is hidden within the printer options subdialogue. For Word, it is offered on the main dialogue. It worked flawlessly for me in both cases.
Pros:
easy to setup and use.
Inexpensive; price is comparable to that of the cheap Inkjet printers.
No ink to dry out.
the paper source is inside the printer where it is protected from dust; a bit of a problem with Inkjet printers and older lazerjet printers.
No external transformer box; the printer simply plugs into an outlet.
Very fast compared to older lazer printers and especially compared to inkjet printers.
Build quality is much superior to that commonly found on HP InkJet printers.
The footprint is about the same as for a cheap HP Inkjet printer with the paper tray sticking out in front.
No paper trays, etc. sticking out from the main printer body.
Cons:
The toner cartridges are much smaller than those of the LaserJet Series 2 printers. To make up for this, they also cost quite a bit less. I have no idea of whether the cost per page is different between the old toner cartridges and these more compact ones. My guess is that the smaller the cartridge, the higher the cost per pate. However, for home use, any cost difference is likely trivial. Also note that the standard Brother cartridges are available with two differing amounts of toner. If you do a lot of printing, you'll be better off buying the more expensive version.
No USB cable. I just used the one that I was using for the Inkjet printer.
Highly recommended if you only want black and white (gray scale)printing. Look elsewhere if you need color printing. Also note that if you don't have a spare USB cable, you'll have to buy one.
