Summary: Great Laster Printer!
Comment: I've had this printer for many years. I'm not a real heavy printer, but when I've got a large print job, this printer is a workhorse. It is pretty quick to come out of sleep mode, and I've never had a single paper jam. That's more than I can say for many of the HP's I've used over the years.
The memory was very easy to upgrade. I do wish it had a larger capacity paper tray, but considering I paid less than a hundred bucks for this printer that is a very minor issue.
One of my favorite aspects of this printer is that it is very well supported in Linux, and even the Windows drivers don't load up your system with useless, memory-hogging utilities.
The build quality is surprisingly good, without being too heavy.
I highly recommend this printer.

Summary: Best printer for your money
Comment: I do a lot of b/w printing and was spending a ton of money on expensive injet cartridges. I bought this because a friend reccommened it to me. At first there was a problem, it jammed. I called Brother, customer service worked with me over the phone and when that wasn't working, they OVERNIGHTED me a new one. Amazing. The new one I got has worked perfectly ever since. I get a whole box of paper, however many reams that is on one of the smaller toner cartridges. We're talking 35 bucks to print over a box of paper. Combined with their amazing customer service, this is by far the best printer I ever used.

Summary: Oh Brother!
Comment: I bought this printer because it was rated highest by Consumer Reports. Like others, I experienced the grey background problem after limited pages printed. Replaced toner and experienced the problem again (and continuously) after about 100 pages. Its going in the garbage and I won't buy Brother again.

Summary: Good sturdy unit
Comment: I've had one since 2002 or so. It's used fairly frequently but not heavily. This is a good unit for home use or very small office. Wouldn't work for more than a few people.
The only feature I wish it had would be a network connection.
