Summary: Trash!
Comment: Really don't want to waste time to comment this printer. Trash! returned it and they will charge me $32 for shipping. Do some research work and carefully evaluate your items before ordering from Amazon!

Summary: Note you need to get interface cable separately
Comment: I'm giving it 3 stars provisionally, will revise if needed, based on my excellent experience with Brother printers, but my annoyance that they do not include a basic USB cable in the box (would have cost them about $1 extra, but will cost you $5-10 at least, and a bit of hassle).
You will need a USB 2.0 A/B cable (e.g., check out a Startech item that Amazon sells for about $6). You can use a parallel cable if you must, but USB should give you better performance in general, besides being easier to connect.

Summary: What a Pile
Comment: How did this thing get to 4 stars. Did anybody who bought this use it. I've had this one for about a year now and have hated it for the last 12 months. It will either jam the paper for real, tell you it has a paper jam with nothing stuck in it, or crinkle the paper so it will stand on edge. The print quality isn't anything to brag about either. I guess if you print one page a day you might be happy with this printer but if you print much at all stay away very far away!

Summary: Very Good, Basic Laser Printer for Home Office
Comment: I bought this printer to replace my HP Laserjet Series II that I purchased new in 1988. I doubt that I will get 19 years out of this one, however, it turns out to be a very good little basic monochrome printer. Having both the Centronics and the USB port for connectivity allowed me to replace it right in where the HP used to be on my wireless printserver without changing any of my "legacy" configuration or I could move it to a USB configuration if needed.
The time to print the first page can be a little long, but once this printer gets going it is reasonably quick. The first toner cartridge that came with the printer is still hanging in there pretty well with near daily use for about a month.
It can be a quite tricky lining up a manual feed page to go through square and straight. If I want a letter on letterhead to come out parallel to the edges of the page, I usually open the paper tray and let it go through the conventional path. Envelopes through the manual feed are just too crumpled by the time they feed through the entire paper feed path to the output bin. I've had no problem feeding through label stock or even the half-label/half-paper shipping labels provided by my shipping company.
I'm pretty happy with this - it's a considerable upgrade from the printer I'm replacing in terms of resolution and speed. However, I certainly don't have any illusions or expectations that this product is as durable as the behemoth tank that it replaced.

Summary: Best printer w/o color
Comment: Best for high quality printing documents. Cheap costs. Long life for 1500 pages on printer. 2500 pages on new toner replacement. Very easy to set up.
