Brother HL-5250DN Refurbished Network Ready Laser Printer with Duplex Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Brother HL-5250DN printer from Amazon for five reasons:
1) fast monochrome (black and white) printer.
2) network capability.
3) automatic duplexing (printing on both sides of the paper).
4) Enclosed paper tray.
5) Price (and the one-year manufacturer's warranty is nice, even on the refurbished product).
I also like the low toner, paper, and drum replacement indicator lights on the printer. The cost of the toner cartridges is about the same with other printers I've seen.
What comes in the box:
Printer, drum and toner assembly, AC power cord, paper Quick Setup Guide, CD-ROM. The CD-ROM has the drivers, entire Owner's Manual, and animated installation guide.
Note: No cables are provided.
If you are going to connect the printer to a wireless router, you will need an Ethernet cable.
If you are going to connect the printer directly to one computer, you will need either a USB or parallel cable. The printer has connections for both.
Setup
The setup did not go as easily as I hoped.
I had two problems with installation and setup:
1) I was not sure which network to use (peer to peer or shared).
2) After installation, I could not print from one of the two computers on the network.
After easily removing some shipping adhesive tape, inserting the drum/toner assembly (looks like a full toner cartridge, not a starter cartridge) and paper tray, I was ready to proceed with installing the software drivers.
The Quick Setup Guide presents you with choices for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP: USB interface, parallel interface, and network interface. There are also choices if using Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Macintosh. The manufacturer's website indicates Microsoft Vista has "built-in" drivers but Brother drivers are also available on the website.
Upon clicking "Install Printer Driver" from CD-ROM menu, I was presented with three choices: USB cable users, Parallel cable users, and Network cable users. I chose the network cable users since I wanted to add the printer to my wireless network router. I was presented with a license agreement that I accepted. I then had to choose between "Brother Peer-to-Peer Network Printer" or "Network Shared Printer". I chose peer-to-peer to print directly to the printer over the network rather than to a central server on a shared printer. On Step 8 I had to choose "LPR" or "NetBios". I had no idea which one to choose and I didn't find any useful information to help with the decision. I chose LPR and clicked Next. The printer was recognized. Make sure to write down the IP Node Address (for a wireless router it is something like 192.xxx.xx.x).
Now, I needed to access the printer from my wireless computer running Microsoft Vista. I went to the Control Panel and double clicked on Printers. I then chose "Add a Printer" and selected "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer". The computer searched for and found the printer. A couple more clicks and I was successfully printing from the wireless computer.
Printing from the desktop computer running Windows XP, connected to the router with an Ethernet cable, would not be as simple. The computer recognized the printer but would not send any data to the printer. I went to Control Panel, Printer and Faxes, right clicked on Properties. The General tab did not have the Location of the printer. I added 192.xxx.xx.x and clicked OK and tried printing a document but I was not successful. After two hours of dealing with it and looking at the company's website, I called the company (toll-free phone number right on the box). The company was closed; I called the next morning just after the company opened at 9 a.m. Eastern. I went through a very brief voice prompt menu and I was connected to Robby in all of about two minutes. He was polite but he was not able to solve my problem. He told me second level support would call me within 24 hours. Just over two hours later I got a call from Debbie, who was in Memphis, Tennessee. She was very helpful and quickly identified the problem. When hovering over the printer icon in the Printer and Faxes folder, the little popup message indicated the printer was offline. I don't know how I missed that. To correct the problem all I had to do was right click the printer and select "Use Printer Online". After a few seconds the printer was in Ready status. Problem resolved.
Summary
This is my first Brother printer and I am very favorably impressed. I don't think there is another printer on the market with these features at such a low price, at least at the time of this writing.
The product is shipped in the manufacturer's box, not an Amazon box, so all your neighbors will know what's in the box on your doorstep. The box looks like the box for a new printer, listing many features of the printer but it is clearly marked "Factory Refurbished". The printer itself has a sticker on the back with "Re-manufactured Product". My printer was originally manufactured in September 2005. I bought it in May 2007.
My experience with Brother International has been very positive. I got a great printer with excellent features, a full-size toner cartridge TN-550 (not a starter toner cartridge!), and a one-year warranty. From idle/sleep, the first page took only 20 seconds to print and the text quality is great. The icing on the cake was the technical support provided by Americans. Their promptness and knowledge was impressive. This was easily the best technical support experience I have ever had!Update December 4, 2007:
I am still very pleased with the printer but it is noisy when printing and it does make "tick, tick, tick" noises sometimes. Neither of these issues has effected performance. The only annoyance I've experienced is with envelope printing - the envelope always crinkles. This isn't a big deal for me but it is something to consider if envelope printing is important to you.
Update October 7, 2008:
I purchased another refurbished HL-5250. The toner and drum are also factory refurbished. The drum unit (DR-520) has life expectancy of 22,500 pages, about 90% of new. The toner cartridge (TN-550) has an expected yield of 3,150 pages at 5% coverage. A new toner cartridge has an expected yield of 3,500 pages.

Xerox Phaser 6125/N Color Laser Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am awarding this printer 5 stars for its ease of installation, quality of output, quality of workmanship, unit price and the average cost of a printed page.
The Xerox Phaser 6125N appears to be a solid, quality unit. Given that you will print about 500 pages before you need to buy your next toner, you get a lot of value for the price. Thereafter, based on the prices currently listed at Amazon, paying $70 for 2000 black and white pages is not bad at all. In fact, on a per-page basis, you are paying significantly less vs. what you would spend on a generic ink-jet printer.
I installed the printer at home, in the basement, plugged into a wireless Linksys router via an Ethernet wire. My printer is now taking jobs from 5 different computers, connected through the same router over Wi-Fi and running Windows XP and Vista.
The unit comes in a nice, neat box where very little space is wasted. The unit is very much assembled and ready to go. There is a `Quick Installation', poster-sized guide (also a 'flash' animation on the CD) that explains in detail how to remove the various sticky tapes that held the printer together during transportation and lock in the toner cartridges. Once that's done, you plug in the power, connect the printer via either USB or Ethernet (USB and Ethernet cables NOT included), turn it on, set up your favorite language if it's not English and you are ready to go. On the computer side, you need to install the Xerox printer driver.
The driver installation(*) was relatively quick and nearly flawless. For it to proceed, the setup program must first find the printer. Since the printer was not physically connected to the laptop, it immediately started to look for IP-based printers. You must make sure that the printer is turned on and it has an IP address(**) while this is happening. The status page, which you can print from the front panel, will tell you if that is the case. My DHCP-enabled Linksys router assigned an address to the printer so no complicated setup was required. On the Vista side, I had to give Vista permission for a couple of tasks to complete. The setup gives you the opportunity to register your printer online. I agreed and it was quick and easy even though I was surprised that the setup knew my printer's serial number but not the model which I have to pick it myself from a long drop-down list.
From the moment I opened the box to the time I printed my first page off a document, it took less than one hour. I can see how some users may require help with the network installation part. I cannot say how Xerox supports end-users with more complex network setups because I did not have to call the tech support.The Phaser 6125N is a large, solid box (see Amazon's picture) and it is so because it holds large (fully loaded) toner cartridges and the fuser unit. Printing is quick and quiet and I experienced no paper jams yet. The colors are bright and both the text and the graphics are crisp - I printed some very complicated flowcharts and a colorful logo to test and I was satisfied with the result. Out of the box, over 200 PCL and PostScript fonts are supported. Other features include 128Mb of memory, support for various paper sizes and paper types including glossies and envelopes, it can be set to go into PowerSaver mode after a period of inactivity (and I reduced it from the 30 minute default to 5 minutes), can be set to produce an audible tone on various conditions, will produce Configuration pages with values for various settings and parameters including the environment's temperature and humidity.
This printer should be ideal for the small office and it could be great for the home if the relatively large size does not bother you. In my case, it doesn't because it's going to stay in the basement. Memory expansion or wireless connections were not issues for me but those who have such concerns should do some research before buying.
________________________________________________________________________
(*) Be aware that a nearly identical model, the Xerox Phaser 6130/N Color Laser Printer offers a few enhancements and extra capabilitis such as:
- Double standard memory (128 MB vs. 64MB) and the ability to upgrade it up to 1152MB
- Larger toner cartridges
- Mac OS support
- Built-in PCL emulation and PostScript 3
(**) Note that you will have to install the driver on ALL the computers that are going to use the printer. Every time you install the driver, you will be prompted to register again. After you complete your first registration, ignore any subsequent invitations.
(***) I can think of 3 basic way you can connect the printer without having to buy any extra hardware, other than a cable, if you don't have one already:
1 - Personal printer - use a USB cable to connect it directly to your desktop computer (or your laptop's docking station)
2 - Shared printer - after connecting the printer as above and you install the printer driver, share it (the specific steps depend on your operating system but it's usually easy). This way, anyone on the same network can use it for as long as the computer that's sharing it is up.
3 - Network printer - you plug it into a network port or directly into a router using an Ethernet cable. Unless you place some restrictions, everyone on the network should be able to use the printer for as long as it is on and the network is up.
(****) The 6125 Toner capacity are: 2000 pages for 'black' and 1000 pages for the Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. If found a 'third party' that offers the set of 4 cartridges for about 55: Xerox Phaser 6125 Set of 4 Compatible Laser Toner Cartridges: 1 each of Black 106R01334 , Cyan 106R01331, Magenta 106R01332, Yellow 106R01333 by LD Products.

Lexmark E120N Monochrome Laser Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good printer for the price. Print quality for normal print jobs is good, it has a small footprint, easy to use interface via a web browser, a dust cover over the paper tray, and the network connection is a lot better than having to connect directly to the PC (although you can do that if you wish). If you have more than one computer on a network at home, I would recommend this printer. The only thing I don't like about it is that you cannot specify custom paper sizes. This means you have to do some trial and error and arithmatic in your application to get it to print the way you want on non-standard paper. For $125, I can live with that.

(More customer reviews)After getting a Macbook Air and finding out that my HP OfficeJet 845xi was not supported (what does that say about HP), I decided to buy a Brother MFC-8680DN and what a pleasant surprise -- I took it out the box, plugged it in and it worked, no questions asked. Recently, I changed my network and it caused problems connecting to my MAC laptop -- I called Brother and got brilliant support and what a pleasant surprise -- they directed my support call to a tech specialist that specialized in both Brother and Apple -- what a pleasant surprise -- HP is done selling me printers.

HP P4015TN Monochrome LaserJet Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)HP Flat out makes the best printers. The last printer that we had was a 5m and it lasted 8 years and was connected to a workgroup of 20+ people. We never had a problem. I just wanted to upgrade to get the increased printing speeds. You will not go wrong with this printer. We already have printed 250K+ pages without a hitch. It is also the easiest printer to attach to an existing network. At this point, I don't even bother looking at other manufacturers.

Panasonic KX-MB271All-in-One Flatbed Laser Office Machine with Print/Scan/Copy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: The shipping box shows a huge diagram showing exactly how to repack everything into the box, in case you need to ever send in for repairs. Operation is simple, yet versatile lots of function options. Heavy: reassuring ruggedness. Very, very easy to install/replace drum or ink cartridge!
Cons: Noisy, for instance a continuous fan noise. The original unpack, assembly is easy but there are no written directions, only lots of pictures. Took me awhile to turn the pieces around in my hand to match the photos. IOW, a few words would have helped! Actually, however, the drum and cartridge installation is all there is to assemble, and do it once and you realize its very simple and quick. 1: Cut toner pack top with scissors and shake it 2. Lift the top up and set drum into hole (or remove drum from hole). 3. Turn the cartridge to lock (or unlock): Thats it! No messiness.
No USB cord... :(
Other Thoughts: All lazer printers are big and heavy, think old 17"" crt monitor size. But this one needs only abt 3"" clearance behind (power cord plug), 0"" left and right, and the output tray extends in front only 4"" (and it slides back inside when no paper in the tray). The scanner lid opens from the front, hence no side clearance necessary. Scanning/printing quality: excellent. OCR character recognition for .jpg, .tiff, etc. files to text: amazingly accurate, wonderful! Easy to use, yet lots of options on board the unit's keyboard: 5 shortcut buttons, lcd display, keypad, 4 way hat. Even more options using the free Multi Funciton Station software. Printing speed is very good at 300x300. A bit slow at 600x600 printing and all scanning.
-----------------
Has been trouble free and intuitive to use for the few months I have had this.
That inkjet contraption is costing you thousands of $'s for supplies/materials down through the years. So get a laser! (And save the little inkjet under the desk/out of the way for color work when necessary).

Xerox Phaser 4510N - Printer - B/W - laser - Legal, A4 - 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi - up to 43 ppm - capacity: 700 sheets - Parallel, USB, 10/100Base-TX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned this printer for several months. It is fast, the print quality is excellent, and I am especially pleased by how accurately it prints fine lines in line art.
However, the facilities for printing envelopes (the "smart" tray) are inferior. It only holds about 15 envelopes without jamming. If you want to print several hundred for a mass mailing, you have to sit and constantly feed the smart tray, and unjam it frequently.
The other problem is the sensor for replacing the toner cartridge. You are told your cartridge is low for weeks before it actually is, even if you run a home business where you use the printer heavily. And, you are not permitted to decide when to replace the cartridge. While the copies are still perfect, and there are no streaks or faint spots anywhere, the "replace cartridge" red light comes on and the printer will not print one single more page till you put in a new cartridge. Forget about running the printer a little faint for awhile, or shaking up the cartridge to get another hundred decent pages before you put in a new one. As cartridges are expensive, and there is no indication how much toner is really left in the cartridge you are forced to throw away, this is an expensive "feature."

HP M3035 MFP Monochrome Laserjet Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've been using this machine in our 5-6 person office for nearly 2 years, and I am very happy we chose to make the purchase. We have it setup as a network printer/scanner, and use it as our primary copier. There is another model that includes a fax feature, but we had a standalone fax machine previously.
Printing and copying is fast. Some of us use the duplex function, but it takes more than twice as long to print on both sides than it does to print on a single side.
We also use the scan-to-network function several times a day. When scanning using the automatic document feeder at a relatively low resolution I've noticed that the resulting image is often skewed. I'm assuming this is the result of the processor not keeping up with the feeder. When scanning at higher resolutions and/or using the flat bed the resulting images are very good quality. We rarely scan high resolution photographs, so I'm not able to comment on it's capacity for this type of scan, but when we have scanned photographs I haven't noticed any quality problems.
Finally, the touch screen control panel is probably the best I've seen on a small office printer in this price range. The screen is quite large, and I've not experienced any problem naming scans, specifying the various settings, etc.
As my five star rating suggests, I am very happy with this machine. In fact, while it would be overkill, I continuously consider buying another one for home because of it's reliability.

Oki Data B6500n Monochrome LED Printer (62427504) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We were looking for a printer that can print our postcards, A friend who is also printing postcards suggested an Okidata C9650. When I did my research, I found out that the C9650 is a color printer that cost $3,000.00! Since I did not want to spend that much and we did not think we need a color printer, I contacted Okidata and based on my specifications, they recommended the B6500N. I shopped around and the lowest price I was able to get was $900.00. I then called a computer/printer expert from our Chamber of Commerce who then informed me that this printer was on sale at Amazon for $575.00. I went online and bought it. The following day it was delivered! That was fast! After some initial problems with the set up, Okidata support was able to configure the printer to fit our needs. We are quite happy with the printer and the support that comes with it. If you need a work horse network printer for a small to medium office, you can't go wrong with this printer. That is if you can still get it for $575.00.

Aficio Sp C431DN Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm writing this because this printer has been out for half a year or so and I couldn't find any good reviews. I bought it anyway and have had it for about three weeks. Setup went well and the optional gigabit ethernet board was very easy to install. The PCL driver installed with a minimum of fuss. The printer seems very fast to me and the 1200×1200 output is crisp even with a 12× loupe. I've only tested the duplex feature, but it worked well in the test. I haven't been through the color calibration yet, but the off the shelf calibration isn't bad. In all, I'm happy with it. I was put off by the lack of reviews, so I hope this helps someone.

HP LaserJet P4015n - Printer - B/W - laser - Legal - 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi - up to 52 ppm - capacity: 600 sheets - USB, 1000Base-T Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can stand next to this printer while it's chugging out prints, without gagging on toner fumes or dust.
The printer delivers fast, high quality prints; I use this printer mostly for documents, but when printing out any photos or illustrations it does a good job -- I'm not looking for razor sharp quality, but the output is impressive nonetheless.
The "Help" menu is (of course) very helpful, printing out information out on demand.
The only gripe I have is the more-fragile-than-it-should-be plastic top that lifts up to access the printer cartridge. One wrong move and it gets stuck until you are able to very gingerly play with the hinges for a while and bring it back down.

Kyocera Mita FS1128 30PPM Print/Copy/Scan and Fax with Doc. Feed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This copier works well. We have not hooked it up yet to the computer or phome line but plan to in the near future. It is a great stand alone copier but these added features will increase it's value. It is fast. The intstructions are easy. The set up was a snap. We saved over $700.00 on this same unity by purchasing from Amazon instead of through a local dealer. I highly recommend this unit and amazon as the place to buy it.

HP Laserjet P4014N 110V PRINTER-P4014 = 45 Ppm / 43 Ppm A4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just like the first reviewer said, this thing is VERY fast. After about 8 seconds pages pop out about one per second. The printer is solid and I expect years of service. It comes with a 64A cartridge with a 10,000 page capacity.
I run a small business and send envelopes to physicians and patients. I wanted to print to envelopes. I wore out a Canon Canoscan feeder tray over several years. I picked this printer because it was the cheapest that accepted the HP CB524A HP - Envelope feeder envelope feeder. Yes, I was willing to pay about $1000 for the printer and envelope feeder just for the envelopes. We do a lot of envelopes. Even though that was all I was planning to print, I was just amazed at the speed of this unit for regular printing, and it has become my preferred printer in the office. The envelope feeder snaps onto the front of the unit and envelopes feed flawlessly. As a bonus, the envelope feeder does not prevent the use of the manual tray. This is important for a multi user printer. I had thought that the envelope feeder would block the manual feed. Instead, the manual feed tray is accessible. I can print regularly from the large capacity 600 sheet bottom tray, print envelopes, and when I do payroll send the job to the printer, walk over to the printer, slip the checks in and they print out when the paper is sensed in the upper tray.
Image quality is great. The screen for images is fine (fine as in distinction to coarse) for good image resolution.
Setup is easy. As a USB printer it works fine. As a network printer it looks for a DHCP sever on the network or it sets up on the 198.x.x.x subnet. I have a Macintosh based network. The printer also can be found with Bonjour. TCP/IP and Appletalk are supported as well as all the Microsoft defined networks. Besides using the front panel menu you can log into the printer with a web browser when the printer is on a network. Besides looking at supplies you can configure all the settings with the web browser. Just find the printer's IP address by going through the front panel menu, then type in the printer's IP address in your browser (like http://10.0.1.101). In my case, since I have a DHCP server the printer set up automatically. I then found the IP address, used a web browser to connect to the printer, went to the network control and set up the printer for manual IP assignment. Depending which subnet I am on in network I connect via Appletalk or IP. This is a very flexible setup.
The printer is very solidly built. It is commercial quality. It is also built be be serviced. The cartridge includes the image transfer drum, which is the the part the wears out first on a laser printer. Getting a new one with each toner cartrige change means long term great images. The toner cartridge, 64A, has a 10,000 page capacity. There is a higher capacity cartridge with a 24,000 page capacity. (At less than 2 cents per copy I'd rather get the new drum with each cartridge and feel comfortable with a lower cycle count on the transfer drum.) HP also sells a maintenance kit, which allows you to change the fuser and rollers in the printer. The fuser is the heated roller that melts toner onto the paper. That is the second piece that wears out on a laser printer. I read, somewhere, that has either a 100,000 copy or 250,000 copy life. The repair kit also has additional replacement parts for the rollers in the paper path. Having maintenance kits means this is a serious printer for commercial work which is to be serviced rather than discarded. Compared to the price I am paying to commercial support for the Canon this is a bargain. (The Canon is also my scanner and FAX receiver, so it still has a place in my office.)
Given the speed, capacity, durability, and available accessories, this printer is priced at a very attractive price. The C64A cartridge is worth about $180 and is included. Given how much more productive I and my staff are with this printer it was a very good purchase.

Brother DCP-8085dn Digital Copier and Laser Printer w/Full Duplex Capability and Networking Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Contrary to one of the erroneous reviews, the Brother 8085DN DOES support duplex scanning and copying. That is why you pay $50-75 more than the 8080DN, which only does duplex printing.
We have the 8080DN and this series of Brother printers is FANTASTIC -- an amazingly powerful business printer for the price of a personal printer. These things are well built, meant for a busy workgroup/small business setting. My wife runs a small nonprofit and has to print board packets and this thing just cranks them out. It will happily print two-sided packets and collate them -- it will go hours of printing without a hiccup. Duplex printing is much slower than one sided printing -- DUH, that is true of ANY printer. You're not going to get high duplex speed until you get into the corporate printers.
We have also owned the Canon ImageClass duplexing printer. The Canons are terrific, very trouble free personal printer. But there is a HUGE catch -- their $65 toner cartridge will only go about 1,000 pages.
The biggest selling point for this printer -- the Brother 8000 series can use a high yield cartridge (about $85, or less if you feel comfortable using a remanufacture) that is rated at a whopping 8000 pages!!!
We do a lot of printing, so I researched extensively, and Brother is in a class by itself for cartridge capacity and low print costs for this class of printer. I highly recommend anything in the 8000 series.
The only reason you might not want this printer for a home office is that it is BIG. But you can't get performance like this in anything smaller that I know of.
Other good things:
1) Energy Star compliant. In sleep mode this printer only draws 18 watts to keep the drum warm. You'd be surprised how many printers eat 40 or 50 watts in standby mode, which will cost you $30 or $40 over a year's time. Energy Star means first page speed is not quite as good as the little HPs, but it's still only like 12 seconds.
2) This printer has TRUE networking capability -- no need for print server. That means the only connection you need is ethernet from your router to the printer. Install drivers, and every computer on the network can control this printer completely -- that means scanning as well. I can't tell you how much better that is than having a USB printer that has to be shared. Brother seems to have high quality drivers -- we've connected XP, Vista and Win 7 without a hitch.
To sum up, everything about this printer speaks of quality and durability. It is just incredible what you can get for $300-$350 these days.

Brother HL-5370DWT Laser Printer with Wireless Networking, Duplex and Dual Paper Trays Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using HP stuff since the first scientific calculator, the HP-32, that came out in 1973. It used to be rock solid, designed by engineers to be used by engineers. Sadly, it's now cheap junk. The scanners in HP's all-in-one's seemed designed to fail in the thirteenth month after purchase.
Some of HP's recent printers do not even implement their own Printer Control Language properly (HP PCL).
This Brother printer works. It implements PCL5 correctly, as well as its emulation of PostScript. I've networked computers for fifteen years, so setup went very easily. The hardest part was hauling the CD-ROM to the various computers on the network, since Windows did not have the driver built in. A no-brainer.
The supplies work out to 1.4 cents a page (toner and drum). Hard to beat that.
