Laser Printer Reviews of HP and Brother
I purchased one printer through Amazon and was debating between the HP and a similarly priced wireless printer from Brother. The replacement toner cartridges are a bit more for the HP, but then again, they come with the drum assembly built in. This greatly reduces maintenance and potential hardware failures. Here are some reviews of HP and Brother laser printer.
Notice: HP printers are generally very reliable and always has good driver support both under Windows and Linux. Brother printers has both Apple and Windows support with a pretty straight forward setup.
HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
List Price:$149.00, Price:$99.00 (Amazon)
“This is a great printer in every aspect. Laser printers offer sharp text and fast printing and this one is no exception. The package for the price is unbeatable. Laser printer with WiFi for under $15
0? Sign me up! I was definitely not let down with this unit. WiFi set up was a breeze and HP’s Smart Install is amazing. 5 minutes after getting the box open, I was printing wirelessly with my laptop. Reliability is a perfect 100%. I’ve been printing less and less over the past several months (it automatically goes into a low power mode after printing and wakes itself up when receiving a new print job). Any time I print something, it fires itself up and is done in a blink.”
“I am so excited to review this great little laser printer. We did just purchase it, but the ease of set up was wonderful. I was able to hook to our wireless network very easily and then hooked it to my daughter’s laptop and it connected right up. It prints quickly and fairly quietly for a laser, then it shuts down quickly too. I read a lot of reviews on this one and hopefully it will continue to be as great in the future as it is right now.”
Brother Printer HL2270DW Wireless Monochrome Printer
List Price:$149.99, Price:$99.97 (Amazon)
Compact Laser Printer for Small Offices or Home Offices.
The HL-2270DW is a monochrome laser printer that offers an automatic duplex capability for printing two-sided documents with ease, fast printing at up to 27 pages per minute, and built-in wired and wireless networking for sharing with others. It features a stylish, space-saving design that complements virtually any environment. In addition, it offers convenient paper handling via an adjustable, 250-sheet capacity tray. To help lower your operating costs, a high-yield replacement toner cartridge is available.
“What can I say. I’m a perfectionist and this printer met all my needs. Easy setup, duplexing, good print quality, cheaper than HP and other brands. More importantly, the toner cartridges are MUCH less expensive than other brands. Keep in mind that I use this for limited home use. My wife will print out 50 page, duplex copies every now and then. Some of the plastic is fairly flimsy, so don’t let your 5 year old try and load the paper. For the price, I would highly recommend this to home users that want a laser printer.”
“This replaced an hp which they did not support with a new driver for windows 7. It is much faster than the hp and the print quality is comparable. It also holds more paper in the tray than the hp laserjet. The duplexing is a great feature.”
