I bought this printer because I had an older version for over 10 years. I use it in our small business. The printer works great.

I'm very happy with this printer.Before I bought it, was looking for a printer that could print alot of pages at a low price and not breakdown. I don't believe anything out there on the market can beat this printer on those objectives.I bought the two year extra warranty just in case if it needs a large repair, however I doubt I will need it. It was only $20 and they pay for shipping and all the repair costs. However, for a minor repair I will take it to my local printer repair shop since I need to use it everyday.I have to add some important info about the printer. It said the yield for the DR280 drum unit is 30,000. So I assumed that's how much pages my new Brother will print. Actually, that's just the drum unit yield, not the toner yield. Like every printer on the market, your first toner will have a low yield. Mine yielded about 3300 pages. It was then that I realized that the drum unit and toner are two different parts with separate yield. The great thing about this printer is that it takes high capacity cartridges which yield 8000 pages.

Brother printer always works well for a small business. It's a great monochrome printer and it never jams even after 2 years.

No problem!. After six months with 14,000 pages and still going. Both of my computer doesn't have a parallel port, so I was be able to covert the parallel cable from printer to a USB connector that I also purchased here on Amazon. Now I can connect the hl-l5000D to two computers using a two USB connectors. You can get this connector right here on Amazon with this link. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R654J18/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No USB cable. This saved Brother $1 (literally) wholesale cost and cost me a round trip taxi to Best Buy and $25 fir their overpriced USB cable ($50). Thanks Brother, hope it was worth the $1 I will NEVER recommend your brand again and I’m a professional IT technician.

Printing on pre-printed pressure senstive label templates - ExcellentPrinting on 3" x 7" glossy pressure sensitive labels - ExcellentPrinting from DOS programs - ExcellentI am using both the USB and parallel port, connecting two computers to the one printer. Real fine.Bypass tray holds about 25 of my thick label templates, so probably 50 pieces of plain paper. FYI - paper in the bypass tray needs to be put in face up, head in or head left. And it prints from the top of the stack.If I ever need another printer, I will certainly buy this again.Update: Printer continues to work real well. Probably 200 pages per day on average. No toner bleed issues, very few jams ( mostly my fault). Some people have mentioned the noise level. This is not an issue for me, and if it was I would use the quiet mode.

I have purchased many Brother laser printers over the past 15 years and been very pleased with the printers and print quality until this printer. The first issue was the printer cable. The connection on the printer end had a different plug configuration so I had to run the new cable which was about 6 inches to short so I had to buy an extension cable.After less than a couple of hundred pages a problem with the toner started. I took the cartridge out and removed the excess toner built up. After a few pages the printer starts dropping excess toner again and all the pages seem to have a very light coating of toner. I looked on the Brother web site but i was not able to find a solution. I believe there is a problem with the drum and toner assembly.The printer is very fast and works well except the toner issue. When I saw the reviews about the toner problem I assumed it was an isolated problem. It seems odd that some people have no issues and others do. I hope it resolves itself hen I replace the toner cartridge.

I waited more than 3 weeks for the printer to arrive but it finally got here. The setup process on my MacBook Pro took less than two minutes. The USB cable was not supplied. It comes with some old out dated cable from 1992. Im so glad I had the cable to make this printer work immediately after receiving it. Print quality is good, especially for the price. However, it does bleed some black toner on the papers but I’m guessing this will eventually stop. Not a major concern. I really like the auto duplex mode allowing to print on both sides automatically. I bought this printer to replace my old Samsung colour laser printer. Hopefully this printer will last me years without major issues.
