technology. It's also one of the safest printers in its class, thanks to SSL, ensuring that unsecured data passing over the network cannot be accessed by other users.
...Recently, brother have been re-designing their printers and their all in ones.
This HL4040CN, has just been re-designed and now looks better and works better.
The design shape of this, is basically a big box. And it is big because this printer is for an high end personal use or for medium class office work. So therefore it has to be able to cope with a lot of work.
Even though this is a box shape, it still looks somewhat cool. Its panels of blue and silver do this and it does looks really modern.
From the front of the machine, a blue panel fold down. This is a 50 sheet multi purpose tray, and directly below this tray is another, this one holds a massive 250 sheets of paper, and this is the main paper feed for printing off documents.
At the top of the printer is where the printed documents come out, this is easier to collect than them...

Advantages: CHEAP ALTERNATIVE TO INKJET Disadvantages: THERE ARE FASTER LASER PRINTERS OUT THERE
...Im on my second brother printer now and I really can't fault them!!! Having attached it with the supplied USB cable, Windows XP immediately recognised this and was able to use it immediately!
Personally I only use it for documents, envelopes and labels but then what else is there. It is very reliable, cheap to buy and quite versatile.
Graphics wise you may come unstuck as it only has 4 MB of memory on board but then as long as you don't want picture perfect photos you will be OK.
As an alternative you could opt for the next model up which is the BrotherHL-1440, however, considering this costs approximately another £100, I don't consider this to be good value.
Anyway, buy one now as they really are a bargain!!!...

Advantages: Fast, Cheap, Reliable Disadvantages: As with all lasers, the toner cost
...I bought the BrotherHL-2030 in October 2005, having hankered after a laser for months. I was fed up of my inkjet printer letting me down (will review that after) so I thought that a laser would make life easier. It certainly did! It can operate at speeds of up to 16 pages per minute which is far more than adequate for me. I also use the printer for school projects and find that the printoffs are of a good quality which *is* required.
I have recently bought a toner cartridge for around £45 (although you can proably get them cheaper) which I was ready for (if you did not appreciate the costs involved, it could prove a shock).
Overall, I find the HL-2030 to be a great product....

I've wanted a new printer for a while but am fed up of paying more for print cartridges than the printer itself so I have ordered and just received a Brother HL-2040 Laser Printer.

Both my partner and I had been using the Dell all-in-one printer than came with her computer for some time. It was ok. It obviously printed in colour and had a scanner. However, I was becoming pretty annoyed at how much ink it used up when only... more
General & price:
WOW, what a brilliant printer this is. Another great laser from Brother. I have had this printer for quite a few months now. I bought it for around £150 but the prices come anywhere between £140 and £220 from verious online retailers or more
As part of our workstation upgrade my employer replaced all of our aging Hewlett Packard laser printers, allocating one printer to 4 workstations to ensure that there was never really a queue of people stood around the printer waiting for large documents more
