Brother HL 2240 Monochrome Laser Printer

Carefully packed and looking like new. Nice company!

I really love my printer..I started couponing in October and i was in need of a good printer that could save me money by not spending to much ink... after a lot of research i decide to buy a laser printer..I print lots of coupons.. it has been 2 months since i bought it and it working pretty good, it prints very fast also has a save mode that you can set in your computer so the toner lasts more.. i havent change the toner and im very happy about that since its just the starter toner.. ill come back and update when i run out of toner... seriously if you want a good printer and also save money this is your printer..Why buy a cheap ($30) printer and thn pay lots of money for the ink?It better to spend a little more for a more economical printer n then save your money when it comes to the ink which its very expensive and last about nothing...

I made the mistake of not using the printer until 3 months after the purchase.Bought it at the en of August. Tried to use it on December 5.Printer does not work at all.It’s a good brand but it is not working.

Home business requires a lot of B&W laser printing that uses up toner. Many times the cheap toner cartridges sold on ebay ruined my drum unit. Replace the drum? Laser drums purchased on the "after market" have been horrible - print quality unacceptable. But to buy a new OEM one from Brother in years past was over $100. Wait a minute! This printer comes with a new drum and toner cartridge for less than the cost of a drum alone.I now have a collection of working Brother HL2140, HL2240, etc. machines that had their drums wear out...I simply purchased a new printer. In fact I have 5 that all work if you want to buy new drums for them. But it is cheaper to buy an entirely new printer with drum & toner.To hell with the environment, recycling and all that. The OEM drum price is now down to about $10 more than this printer. The "compatible", non-OEM, drums are so hit and miss I'll NEVER buy one again. Even if the OEM drum prices gets down to $10 less than this printer the OEM toner included still makes it cost effective to --believe it or not-- buy a new printer instead of buying a drum + toner. What a strange world this has become where you try to recycle only to receive a rebuilt drum that ruins your printing, or a refilled toner cartridge that ruins your drum...so that you end up shelving a working laser printer because Amazon will ship a new one for so little cost.By the way this printer is fabulous work horse that delivers thousands of text pages, FedEx laser labels, customer literature, etc. I must love this printer because I keep snapping them up for $70 free shipping.

The Brother printer is prints quickly and is very easy to figure out how to print duplex and checks. I am still having a bit of a problem figuring out when I need to print something off of a website - the printer usually will print the page(s) I need in a very small font that is impossible to read. I'm sure that is a setting I need to change but I haven't figure it out yet.The toner price is very affordable (depending on where you buy your toners). I can use the printer for under $30/toner and it prints up to 2,600 pages. It was extremely easy to install on the computer and to hook up everything. This was a definite awesome find.

I first bought the Samsung wireless laser printer for under $100, as the reviews said, it never worked wirelessly after the first print. I returned it for this beauty. The setup was incredibly easy, plug it in, download the software from the disc, and your ready... in all about 5 minutes. Some reviews said it was loud and the fan stays on... the printer is no louder than any other printer and all laser printers have fans, this one is pretty quiet, and doesn't stay on longer than a couple minutes after the last page has printed. The printing is incredibly fast and the quality is exactly what I was looking for. If you are printing text, it is perfect; I wouldn't recommend full page black and white photos though. I've had it for only a couple days, so we'll see how it lasts. It is compact, looks good, and the price is perfect, I highly recommend this printer... so far.

I decided to buy this product because I was so impressed with the earlier version made by Brother (HL-2140). BTW the HL-2140 is the older version and is not being produced in the same quantity, which is why it is more $ (scarcity drives up price). No reason to buy it (HL-2140) as it's older and more $ for less features. I decided to get this printer when my drum went on the HL-2140 and this printer was only about $15 (+shipping and tax) more than a new drum for the old printer and it gave me a starter printer toner and a new drum and a new machine (I'd say that was worth the extra $). The shipping was a bit more than I thought it should be, but I compared the total price to the store down the street and it was still cheaper. It was easy to uninstall the old printer and install this one. No hiccups at all. Set it up in less than 5 min and had it shared on a local network too. Highly recommend it. The replacement toners are also only a few bucks more than the HL-2140, but as it's a newer version, I kind of expected that. The starter toner it came with does not last long. I went ahead and bought the high-capacity toner in addition to the printer because I knew this. The shipping was quick and efficient and no damaged parts during shipping. I have been very happy with this printer and would recommend it.
