Summary: Works flawlessly
Comment: Had it for a good two years. The only time it malfunctions, it's been my fault(when I reuse paper to print on the reverse and forget to take off a staple or scotch tape holding two sheets together). It's also rather forgiving when using paper other than the recommended brand/weight. Sure the toner cartridge is expensive compared to the cost of the machine, but you have internet sellers who ask little more than half the regular street price (say $35 vs. $60). I'm speaking as a home user - the oftmentioned curling problem doesn't bother me, but I can see the problem in an office environment.

Summary: Great printer
Comment: This is a great little printer. We had 2 in the office already, and when we needed another I ordered this refurbished unit. They are very cost effective and easy to use.

I highly recommend this.

Summary: Handles heavy load and prints great, clean resumes
Comment: I have had this printer for over a year now and have, but for one thing, been greatly satisfied. The other day I printed out a 124 page report and it printed fast, without a hitch. When I was looking for a car, I printed reams of dealer information sheets; even with graphics, the images were great.

I print a lot of resumes and they come out sharp and clean. The one thing is that it prints envelopes and curls them around the roller which creases them badly. That ruins the looks of your envelope and when it contains a resume or a thank you letter, it better look good. My old HP printer had a little switch you flipped to have envelopes come straight out the back. I didn't think of checking this before I bought it. I assumed all printers did that straight print with envelopes.

It prints different sized paper, executive, from the paper tray without problems. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this printer.

Summary: Too much "toner life end" -Brother's quality is getrting worse.
Comment: My company bought 5 HL2040s for different depts 6 months ago. Recent 3 of them got the same problem- " toner life end" even replace several brand new genuine toners. My company now is planing to buy a color laser jet to print catalog but no one recomand to buy Brother's product- cheap price cheap quality and it wastes too much time if we want to fix it by warranty. No more "Brother".
