We always used the olf HL series printers so when it came time to replace them we thought brother hads got it right by reducing the size to the 2040. How wrong we were. To say we are disappointed with the quality of the production (the printing itself is fine the paper gets curled up) is an understatement!
Then there is the toner cartridge, this appears to give you about a 5 page warning of when its going to run out! There also appears to be no consistaency on how long they will last.
Finally there appears to be a problem with the way the printer tells if the toner is used us, this could mean that usable cartridges are being discarded, and at between £30 - £35 thats too much.
We have had the brother technicians out three times now and even they don't appear to like this model.
My advice dont buy it keep looking, we are!

Excellent.... I was about 3 hours from buying this machine.... Had found it at an excellent price of £49.99 at (Viking) and was seriously thinking about it.....
But I think now, I will put some more thought into it....
Thanks for the honest review, but I am afraid for me, it is back to the drawing board!!!..
