Brother Monochrome Laser Printer, HL-L5100DN, Duplex Two-Sided Printing, Ethernet Network Interface, Mobile Printing, Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready

Shipped as promised. Works as advertised.

I looked at probably a hundred printers before landing on the Brother HLL5100DN. I needed something that could handle a high-volume output without burning a hole in my wallet. Most laser printers seem like a great value...and then you look at the cost of toner. With most printers I researched, I also looked up the cost of toner. Only a few printers stand out from the pack with toner yield and cost– the Brother HLL5100DN is one of them. There is an off-brand toner available for this printer that yields 8,000 pages that costs only $20. I could not find a better cost-to-yield ratio on any printer in this price range, so I purchased this one. A few notes about this printer are in order: 1. It is not a WiFi printer. You must hook this up via a printer cord (to USB) or an ethernet cable. You MUST have one of these hooked up for the printer to work. 2. It is monochrome (it prints black ink only). If you need color printing, its not for you. 3. It is not a scanner. Its only a printer. 4. It works with Google CloudPrint if it is hooked up to a computer in the aforementioned way. 5. It takes about 15 minutes to set up (including unboxing and driver download). 6. Works on PC and Mac. I set it up on both. Overall, this product is the best monochrome printer for the price. It will give you a ton of prints for a low cost. Its pretty basic, but is awesome in certain contexts. I highly recommend this to anyone in the market for this type of printer!

Fast, easy setup. Prints fast and clean.

I love this printer! It hooked up painlessly to my network and computers. It prints without fail, and does so quickly. The print quality is great and this model holds a ton of paper, which is awesome. I honestly cant say enough good things about this printer or the other Brother printers that Ive owned.

I didnt give this 4 stars because the print cartridge that came with the drum made copies with gray lines through it. Amazon customer service passed me to Brother who grilled me re serial #s etc before agreeing to replace the cartridge. That was last week. Ive heard nothing since. Hate wasting time like this.

Use Brother machine a lot. This one works great and cost us low.

The HLL5100DN is a nice printer at a very good price point. It has an LCD display and small control panel that makes it easier to configure and do certain things compared to cheaper ones that dont have that feature. The print quality is quite good very sharp and crisp and it prints pretty fast. This is a small office class printer even though for me it is mainly home and some business use. It has usb and Ethernet connectivity but not built in wireless. Thats fine for my purposes because I prefer to connect it directly to my wireless router. If you need the built in wireless capability then get the 5200, 6180 or the 6200 which will cost you about $100 - $200 dollars more.

dont be fooled by the way they describe the operation of printer it does not scan its a great printer if thats all you need

After twelve years my old Brother laser printer died. I wanted the same but they are no longer made. Yet for half the price, I got the latest, though larger, printer from Brother to replace my most reliable printer in my office. Hard to believe that my first laser printer 30 years ago cost a couple of thousand and put out 4 ppm after it took several minutes to compile a page. This one was less than a couple of hundred and spits out pages by the ream!

Great printer
