4 out of 5 stars Another disposable printer.......2007-12-10

I've had pretty good luck with Brother printers. Okay speed, good print quality, last awhile. Drum units are expensive though. Once it's time to replace your drum, almost cheaper to just toss the thing and buy a new one. Buy a new drum, or spend an extra $30 and get a new printer with a new drum, new toner cartridge etc...hmmmm, tough choice.

1 out of 5 stars Horrible, Stay Away.......2007-11-29

This is my second Brother HL-5240, the first started screaming when I tried to print and then just stopped. Not working at all, I called a local repair shop who took it back, replaced the drum, and about every other working part, and it still was the same, screaming.

They said I had to call for a replacement myself, which I did, and then they proceeded to make me go through a bunch of diagnostics which was a waste since the repair place already had done all that, plus so had I in trying to figure out if I could repair on my own. Very bad service. Finally they agreed it was a wreak and sent a replacement.

Now this replacement made the same scream the first time I set it up and printed, but that thankfully stopped.

I've owned Brothers in the past and they cause a power surge when you first send the print job occasionally bringing down the circuit breakers. I have to be so careful every time I print I'm praying to the power Gods just to let me have one page print without mishap.

The duplexing works, usually, but when it doesn't in creates quite the mess of crumpled paper. No rhyme or reason as to why it works sometimes but not always. The sliders for envelopes is very flimsy and I doubt it would hold up in a real office situation where you needed to print envelopes often.

Now this barely three month old machine has starting leaving a trail of extra dots on the page, a symptom of needing a new drum. All attempts at cleaning have not helped. Far to little service from this far too expensive to run printer.

I have had this laser printer for several months. Happy with Amazon's rapid delivery and the product's performance.

5 out of 5 stars A Good Printer at a Good Price........2007-10-01

I wanted a replacement for my older Laser Printer. I have had this printer for several months and it works great. It was easy to hook up to my computer system. It is also smaller than my previous printer and runs much faster.

2 out of 5 stars Bad Brother.......2007-09-13

This unit is practically new,purchased from Brothermall May 4,2007. Arrived making a very loud squeaking noise which ran us crazy.They were great and sent down a new drum and toner assembly.When the toner ran out this week I ordered another at $99 from Brothermall. When their new toner would not fit their new drum I called and was informed that I would have to buy a new drum at $188.99 since the one they sent in May was out of 90 day warranty !!! So...to get this almost new $160 printer running I need to spend $99 + $188.99 , a total of $448 in 6 months !!! Beware of this company.
