Brilliant Brother laser printer
Review of Brother HL 5250DN by
tomo359
Advantages: Load, quick, good quality, good size, read the review for more
Disadvantages: none i don't think
...opinion the best looking printer Brother have ever done. Most of Brother's lasers as well as many others on the market are just a neutral cream colour but this is black and grey which may not sound very appealing but when you see it, it looks great. It is a good size, simple printer that will fit into any office, school or home. It does not take up too much desk space and will fit easily on something such as a filing cabinet or similar.
++Price ... ...the toner and drum in, Brother have done this well by combining both parts in one piece. All you do is open the main cover, push in the toner/drum then close the cover, couldn't be simpler. The printer is now ready to print, that’s after it has paper in. Paper can be put in two parts; the bottom paper tray which pulls out and conceals the paper, or the pull open tray. This is the bit with the blue brother logo on the front. This opens up then inside ...

Brother HL 5270DN
Review of Brother HL 5270DN by
techno_man_37
Advantages: cheap ink, print quality
Disadvantages: big, bulky
...favourite things about the company brother is how cheap there ink is, this is actually one of the main things I look into when buying printers and printers like Lexmark hp and cannons ink are all really expensive. Especially compared to brother, brother ink isn’t as available as most other makes of printers however you can get it a lot cheaper if you buy online and can usually pick up all 4 ink cartridges off eBay for well under £10 whereas ... ...full pack of four which is just ridiculous especially when you consider you can get a printer for this price which comes with free ink so it would just be cheaper to buy a new printer every time you run out of ink.
This printer is a mono laser printer, the fact being that this printer is for offices and most offices just don’t have inkjet printers anymore as lasers are just so much better quality.
There not only better quality prints, there ...

perfect office printer
Review of Brother HL 5280DW by
techno_man_37
Advantages: print speed, quality and so silent
Disadvantages: could look better
This Brother HL 5280DW is one of the top models from brothers laser printers. It offers very fast printing, great quality of printers as well as managing a range of different tasks and has lots of different features too.
Its 266MHz RISC processor is what runs this machine to its current power and its 32MB of on-board memory, this can too be upgraded to a maximum of 544MB if you really need it.
Also built into this is networking. You would expect ... ...it is effectively an office, or home office printer. This means that you can connect computers or laptops to the printer wirelessly so there is no need for those messy wires getting all over the place and connectivity is just simpler. The wireless networking built into the printer can reach transfer rates of 54Mbps. As far as design goes, this isn’t too bad. This printer should look horrible though, as all this printer is, is a simple white ...

He's quite heavy, he's my Brother
Review of Brother HL 6050D by
lazza123
Advantages: Good quality, duplex printing
Disadvantages: None
...options, I went for the Brother HL-6050D, although as I have a network at home, I should have gone for the HL-6050DN, oh well live and learn.
I got this printer on line from Misco, and it cost me around £340, but looking around you can get it for anything from £315 up to £390.
*** What's in the box? ***
The box is rather large, about a 75cm cube, it weighs about 20kg. Opening the box, and fighting through the very robust packaging, you come across ... ...the AC power lead, a toner drum, oh and the printer!!
The thing that really gets me about any of this type of peripheral is that you never get an interface cable, so remember to buy an Ethernet, USB or parallel cable. I went for the USB option; it is actually the High Speed USB2 that the printer supports.
*** Setting it up ***
First thing though, it is actually quite heavy, so take care when lifting, also the packaging is pretty big! Mine had ...
