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

Great performance at a terrific price.

I have only had this printer for one year and it is barely printing anymore. It has black ink spots all over the pages, the page numbers on the bottom of the page are not printing and there is black ink all along the side of the page. I have been trying to go through support and I have tried cleaning every different part. Nothing has helped. I am so frustrated!

Im using this as a desktop printer in a Mac/PC/Linux corporate environment with other all-in-one printers/copiers and color laser printers on my network. Print speed is fast, but as with just about all laser printers with higher page-per-minute printing capability, you trade a bit of print quality for speed. The print quality is fine and comparable to most faster monochrome laser printers, but doesnt match the near typeset quality of a Canon Imageclass D1650 down the hall. However, the cost per page of this printer is about half of the Canon, so for most business documents, this Brother printer is a good balance of toner cost, print quality, and speed. I have had several other Brother laser printers and they all were good quality and lasted for quite a few years. But if youre looking for the best print quality, check out Canon printers. I have a Lexmark monochrome all-in-one, two HP color laser printers, an HP monochrome all-in-one, and a couple of small Brother desktop printers, and all work well, but the Brother printers are tried and true workhorses for 95% of our printing. Lexmarks interface is overly complicated, the HP all-in-one print queue gets stuck sometimes, and the printing cost of the HP color lasers is high enough to avoid printing all but color documents with them. The up front cost of the Brother HL-L5100DN is low and the long-term cost is also on the lower end for monochrome laser printers.

I have liked this product from the very first printing. This printer toner last a long time. The printer prints on both sides is a plus. I would definitely buy this printer again.

We use this to print several hundred meeting lists each month for our organization. These are legal size printed on both sides with high coverage. We have had absolutely no problems with it.

Fast, consistent and reliable. I print thousands of pages at a time with my business. It is quite and produces excellent quality. (You must use a genuine Brother toner cartridge to get the quality though. I have tried other toner refills and the quality was terrible. )

I only use this printer occasionally. At first it printed great. But after several months, it started to print dirty pages. This is the result of the drum unit going bad. Ive printed somewhere around 150 pages total. Ive had brother printers before and they lasted a long time. This one is very disappointing. Brother needs to improve the quality of their drum units.

So Far So Good!

I was using a inkjet printer for my business which is great for color prints and I still use but then my online sales began taking off and I was printing shipping labels like crazy. The price of inkjet ink was killing me and the slow print times. After a month I purchased this printer on Amazon. WOW it prints crazy fast and over the last year I printed 10,000 envelopes, 500 package slip and paper invoices, and college papers for my teenager. My best guess is 15,000 prints and I havent changed a cartage yet and have had very few misprints. I would buy this again I am incredibly happy with this purchase.

works great and easy to install
