Brother HL-L2460DW Wireless Compact Monochrome Laser Printer with Duplex, Mobile Printing, Black & White Output | Includes Refresh Subscription Trial(1), Works with Alexa

I cannot recommend this printer enough. After a couple of years of struggle with an HP printer, which for some reason would not connect with the wifi about 75% of the time (meaning I always had to restart the whole printer anytime I wanted to print), I finally got completely fed up with it. I had heard nothing but good things about Brother printers so I researched them and finally landed on this one. I like that it's a laser printer (the cost of printer ink for the inkjet printer was another thing that was killing me). I set it up and it's worked like a dream. It only prints in B&W which is absolutely fine with me. Most of the stuff I print only needs to be B&W and if I need color, I still have my HP inkjet, or I just go to Office Max to print. This printer has been super dependable - it's connected to wifi every single time I want to print - I haven't had to restart it once. I still don't know why that was so difficult for the HP printer to do?! The pages print quickly and the print quality is good. It probably holds close to a whole ream of paper. To set it up I had to download an app, which seems standard for printers these days. The app took me through the setup process, so it was pretty easy, and ever since I haven't had to worry about my printer at all! It does what it says on the box! Will only be buying printers from Brothers from here on out. An excellent product and I really want to support companies that make high-quality products that last, instead of products that use planned obsolescence or captive pricing, both of which are unfriendly to consumers. P.S. While I was researching printers I learned that the reason inkjet printers are so cheap because they make it up in the cost of ink. This is why printer ink is so expensive. Apparently the R&D of inkjet printers is actually pretty high, and since the inkjet printers sell at such a low cost, they have to make up the money somehow. The bad thing is that ink for inkjet printers dries out fairly fast, so the ink essentially has an expiration date as well. Laser printers (like this Brother printer) use toner cartridges, which yield many more page prints per cartridge and also don't dry out. When I learned this, trading in my color inkjet printer for a B&W laser printer was a no-brainer. I just dont need to print color that much. Someday I might get a color laser printer, but so far I havent missed not being able to print in color.

Love this printer. The last one I had continuously struggled with wireless connection requiring a physical cord in most applications, very frustrating. This one connected flawlessly and continues to perform perfectly. Simple and compact with easy setup. The cartridge that comes with it won’t last long, so order another when you set up. Prints with ease from my Mac computer, iPad and iPhone. Duplexes from the settings with no problems.

It has an LCD screen the size of a bean with mysterious settings and protocols that are unexplained unless you have a printed manual for the entire settings menu. Do not subscribe to EZ print subscription or you will end up getting their company servers to remotely brick your printer on a whim!!!! I purchased this brand name printer with brand name toner in the starter kit for my mother. My mother subscribed to EZ print, completing all of the appropriate registration, serial number, payment info, and agreements. I guided her on the process and helped set up her printer. It worked fine from Nov. to April. They never sent her the subscription ink she needed next. Then when her starter cartridge ran out within a few months, instead of contacting her or charging her for ink or clarifying what the “free plan” really means, they bricked her printer!!! When Mom called customer service, they told her that her toner was not brand name (forged??!). She then drove into the city (1 hour each way) and spent time looking for brand-name printer toner and spent $50 on the new cartridge to return home in order to fix her printer. The printer did not work after toner replacement. The customer support gave her misinformation!! I checked her toner it’s real Brother. I learned later that EZprint Subscribers must receive Brother toner with a “S” mark on the packaging from the company, and if the cartridge does not have the “S” mark on it, then apparently the machine can be remotely shut down by their servers with error. Printers can be thrown into a deep sleep, can be given multiple connection problems, and continually errors out while demanding subscription toner even when the new brand name toner is inserted!!!! My mother is elderly and does not need this headache when she’s trying to mobile print a 1pager from her iPad. The customer service on the phone to her was appalling, misleading her to think that she had fraudulent toner in this printer. I have 10 years experience in providing IT support and computer science teaching. When I helped her after work, it took 2 hours for me to troubleshoot and research. It became very clear that Beother. Atoned service lied. This was official brand name, Brother toner, but it was just the starter toner “TN” as usual, which runs out quicker than high-yield toner that would be purchased in the second round. I spent over five hours troubleshooting with the tiny bean-sized LCD screen. My AIO Brother printer at home has a nice easy to read LED screen that makes adjusting and diving into settings much easier. I connected my mom’s faulty printer to my laptop by USB and did some troubleshooting using the correct drivers and system software, but the system software they give you for printer management is horribly inept. I really enjoy my brother printers that I have at home. I have two others: one for printing receipts for the business and another all in one printer that is amazing. I have to say that this printer is absolutely the worst brother printer that you can purchase and I recommend two things: 1. Do not ever subscribe to EZ print subscription or you are giving the company permission to remote control your printer like dictators. 2. And do not buy this printer because it has an LCD screen the size of a Bean when you could get a printer with an LED screen that is the size of a Post-it.

Is an excellent printer. I have use brother printers for years and they have all been good and this one is no exception. It has a small footprint. The wireless printing makes it very convenient and we can put this anywhere we want. In our case, we have in our bedroom closet. The printing speed is extremely fast. It’s a great value for the money. The Wi-Fi set up was quick and simple.

The printer arrived today. I unboxed it , put it together and began the setup using EasySetup_2_9_0_102.exe from my desktop computer on the same network. I wanted to set it up as a networked, hard-wired (NOT WiFi) printer. The setup program just refused to accept it as a hard-wired printer and consistently reverted to the WiFi setup. Note: I could not see any evidence of a hardwired network connection working when I plugged the network cable in the back: no lights on the printer or on the nearby switch. I even had to change my password on my Brother account because the old password no longer met their more stringent password requirements. Annoying! So I gave in and went with the WiFi method. Even that did not go smoothly. After 2 tries the setup program told me to use a 6ft (max) USB connection to a computer. I did this and finally got it setup in a WiFi arrangement. All of this was MUCH more difficult than I expected. I wonder if the hard-wired jack is bad. I will try the hard-wired approach later and update this review if required. All of this took about 90 minutes. Once I had it setup, it worked just fine and printed nicely. I set up the driver on two other home networked computers without any problems. It works fine, but because of the awful setup process, I cut one star off the rating.

This printer met all my requirements -- small footprint, separate passthrough slot (for labels), 250-sheet paper tray that did not protrude past the front of the printer (that was a Biggie!), plus updated WiFi that works perfectly with my eero mesh network. Prints are fast and of the highest quality. This was a replacement for a 10+ year old Samsung/HP laser printer.

1) Easy setup, great print quality, and FAST. 2) Be aware that the cartridge shipped with the unit isn't long life, and the OEM replacement is half the price of the printer. 3) That said, a pack of two or three toners cartridges are available for the same price. 4) Delivery was FAST. I'm in a semi-rural location and will often see "next day" become two days out when I place the order. Not here - it was waiting for me when I got home from work.

I really like how compact the printer is. My main annoyance with this model is that you only have two arrow key buttons to navigate through all the options so it made setup a bit confusing. No issues with WiFi but software is required on all the devices you want to stay connected to your printer. But you might want to turn off Auto Shut off and Deep Sleep mode to always have WiFi access to the printer. One caveat though, if you try to search for Airprint printers or open the Brother app out of range of the router, the printer will be shown as “Offline” even as you get back in range (to reconnect, a restart of the tablet or mobile phone is required once in range of the WiFi connection). The mobile devices will otherwise auto-connect to the printer once in range of the WiFi network. How to Turn Off Auto Shut Off: General Setup —> Ecology—> Auto Shut Off—> Off How to Turn Off Deep Sleep Mode: General Setup —> Ecology—> Sleep Time (set to 0 minutes). Once you press OK on Sleep Time, press Back and the Down Arrow keys at the same time. Then you have access to the Deep Sleep option. Regarding the Tray 1 paper error (printer not recognizing paper in the tray): I ran into the same issue but figured out it was a user error. The paper guides (the gray plastic parts with the green adjustable levers located within the paper tray) need to be adjusted so that the paper fits securely. There can’t be too much space between the paper guides and paper.

Justo lo que estaba buscando, es una buena impresora monocromática, tiene todas las opciones necesarias para cumplir con una buena impresora. impresión a dos caras, maneja diferentes tamaños de papel que es excelente. Otro aspecto que me gustó mucho fue poderse conectar por medio de Wi-Fi a tu red privada, mando imprimir mis documentos desde el teléfono o desde mi computadora Mac. Excelente compra.

Brother has the best printers

La impresora es manual y facil de instalar, el pedido demoro un poco pero llego dentro de la fecha que me dieron

Off all athe printers I've had Brother brand never let me down,everything esle was garbage within months, therefore I trusted this brand and bought this unit. I installed it in less than 20 min and works as described ,less the printing off your phone (Brother app). Prints very fast and crisp, not very noisy . As of now it works just fine , I will update if any issues occur.

This is a very good printer for my regular B & W 1 side printing task - which is my most typical requirement. Replaces a very trusted and long used HP 1010 laser printer that was not reliable under WIN 11 on my new PC The Brother printer runs wireless and was a breeze to install
