The Brother HL-L2350DW Mono Laser Printer is a solid, no-frills choice for basic printing needs – the duplex function is smooth and the ability to mail back cartridges via a freepost label for recyling is a plus…
I’m very pleased with all aspects of this printer the quietness in operation, print quality, ease of use including the software and the functions all work well like the double sided printing. I would certainly recommend it having used it in my home office environment.
P.s. Bought from Amazon Warehouse – absolute bargain!
Apart from the size as bit big.it is great wish I’d bought the colour one . But can’t really fault it it virtually set it’s self up. Just connect to router, down load the app and you are done.
I bought this as I was sick of HP and their dodgy business practises regarding ink. I read multiple reviews online and on forums talking about how good Brother laser printers are. They were not wrong, the printer just feels quality. The set up was surprisingly easy and this thing prints very nice quality pages. Even the wireless function works easily.
I highly recommend buying this printer if you are looking for one.
This is a little gem of a laser printer:-) Despite Which? *falsely* claiming that it does NOT support ethernet connection, it has a FULLY FUNCTIONAL USB socket for superb setup and running (took me all of five seconds!). Plug it in and off you go… Driver software easily downloaded and installed from Brother web site.
Best value laser printer on the market!
A well designed printer. Apparently the deep sleep mode consumes very little power over a year, so I am leaving it switched on. The Wi-Fi capability means I can keep the printer off my desk and it wakes up quite quickly from the deep sleep mode. I found that the printer did not connect to my Wi-Fi at first attempt but I followed the advice of others – unplugged the power cord for a minute and then re-connected. It then worked fine.
Just wanted a simple black and white printer that would just work when I needed it to. Have used deskjet printers in the past but because I don’t print that often the ink would dry up after a couple of months of not using it. Very frustrating when you come to use it. So laser printers are the way to go as they have dry powder toner which doesn’t dry up and clog. This is a simple printer that just works when required. It was really simple to set up, prints wirelessly from Mac, iPhone etc. Really pleased with it. Would recommend a dust cover as it’s going to just sit there until required. There are many cheaper options when replacing the toner cartridge as the Brother one costs a fortune.
Excellent print quaity, easy to install, does everything that I need. Very pleased with the quality and performance.
I’ve been using this simple black-and-white laser printer for four years, and like it well enough that when it died I bought the same again. That’s the upside. The downside is that it lived only four years; what is it, a Great Dane? This isn’t a good lifespan. But maybe it was the individual machine I also asked around about places to donate the corpse for parts, and it appears you can’t do this. When a printer’s dead, I’m told, you just have to toss it onto the planet’s increasing pile of plastic detritis.
Very good printer for the price easy to install on any pc great print outs
Very happy with this and find it a brilliant printer compared to an ink cartridge one that became problematic after a while and expensive to keep buying cartridges. It was recommended that I bought this type of printer and after looking at the choices decided on this as I only wanted a basic one for occasional black and white printing. I was unable to set it up totally and had to get a computer friendly friend to help who sorted it right away.
A great buy. Easy to set up and use. Replacement ink cartridges are readily available.
Install the driver from Brother’s website! The default Windows10 driver cannot draw correctly anything but Word-typed text. I was initially appalled at the drawing quality, as even printed text from web-browsers or PDFs was not easily-readable. Lines would be all very jaggy. After installing the driver, I everything is good.
I can now make PCBs with 50-micrometer traces thanks to this amazing printer! This matches professional quality!
Being not very tech savvy I had to get my son to set it up but he said I nearly got it right he did it for me and it’s working fine very good for the price.
I bought this as a replacement for my trusty Brother HL1430 which gave me 21 years of solid service. This fills a similar slot in their range but adds WiFi and automatic double sided printing. I set up the WiFi code using the buttons on the top to navigate the menu with the minimum of fuss and it worked first time and faultlessly since. My laptop connects with ease and my android phone connects via Mopria just as well. The double sided printing works brilliantly once you set the printer properties to do so in the app / program. All in all, I couldn’t be happier. This is an excellent upgrade compared to my old tech printer which I was sad to see go. The new HL-L2350dw has made a great start and I only hope that this lasts as long.
I’ve been using this printer now for over 5 months and overall it’s been a positive experience. Connectivity is very good (I use the ethernet port but wireless and USB also work well). The low yield toner cartridge that came with the printer lasted over 700 pages before I had to replace it. And print quality is excellent after I managed to increase print resolution from the default 600dpi to the max of 1200dpi.
The only problem was the occasional black marks up the left side of the prints. When I changed the toner cartridge I noticed clumps of toner had accumulated at the left edge of the drum. I removed these clumps and it’s been perfect prints (five stars) ever since.
Easy to setup, easy to use, connect your Wi-Fi after that it’s a breeze, very satisfied with the brother environment/app etc, using the mobile iPrint&Scan app gives access to all the settings on your iPhone or iPad which is all I use the app for as I primarily use air print or windows computer for printing, a little bigger than inkjets but well worth it, it’s so superior to inkjet printers I wish I’d got one earlier, best printer I’ve owned so far. Wish I’d gone the extra mile and purchased the colour.
This is an absolutely fabulous black and white laser printer, copier, scanner. It ticks all the boxes from my requirements.
My requirements were (and all these are met)
* laser printer
* auto duplex printing
* wireless printing/scanning
* scanner functionality
* Linux compatibility
In addition to the above, it gets bonus points for
+ large capacity paper tray
+ ID copy functionality (2 in 1 copy)
+ “Driverless” printing!
+ Easy setup.
+ Flatbed scanner (better than portable document scanners)
+ No silly “ink subscription service”
On the first day, I connected the printer to our wireless router over wifi. It is possible to do so from the printer itself, without having to do a wired connection to the computer. Entering the wifi password takes some time, and after that it connects with zero fuss. Once, it is connected to the wifi, it is discoverable over the wifi network from Linux, , Mac, and Android. It “Just works” for both printing and scanning without the need to download or install any drivers.
On Linux, I needed to ensure that /etc/nsswitch.conf had a “hosts” entry like this, to make it auto-discoverable and truly driverless.
hosts: files mymachines mdns4 mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns mdns4 myhostname
I have not discovered any cons to this printer/scanner. It is compact, the setup is painless, when turned on it connects to the wifi within 10 sec, it works when I need it to work, and printing is quick and easy.
I use it with mac and iPhone.
Both got working great.
Not clumsy or troublesome.
Happy with the quality, reliability and parts availability.
Bonus: Low energy consumption on standby < 1W
This is a perfect little mono laser printer and was exactly what I was looking for. Reliable, fairly cheap, small and includes AirPrint!
Yes. I only got the printer as space was a issue. I know it had dimensions in the description but you only really know what itll be like when it’s out of the box and insitu.
I researched infrequently used printer and that’s why I settled on laser rather than inkjet (nosels/blockages).
I’ve set it up, typing in the WiFi password on the printer, which didn’t take as long as I thought it would, but still a bit fussy.
Only one wire for power if you have it on WiFi, two if you’re going to connect it to your router.
Prints quality prints, quickly. I haven’t tried to buy new ink and install so ill update when I do.
NOT great at photos but then I knew it wouldn’t before purchase.
Always research. Check out YouTube. They will always have useful into about all products.
I won’t bother with HP who like to astort people with subscriptions and rubbish hardware.
This printer is fantastic, you don’t need to fight with it, brother are a great company I’ve heard story’s of their printers lasting 20 years!
If 99% of what you need to print is text, get brother laser, you won’t regret it.
Don’t be tempted by the cheap 30 printers from the likes of HP. They are horrible I ended up smashing mine as I could not barwbthe fight.
Pay extra and you won’t have “No Brother”
Simply put I say print, brother prints, works fine on all devices, extremely easy to setup.
Ill only get brother printers and Louis rossman on YouTube speaks highly of them so you know they are a good company.
For brother deciding not to rip people of with subscriptions, I’ll only by brother acxeories or paper to support them.
Brother is one company that does not support you will own nothing and be happy.
I just wish my brother would do what he’s told
Works like a charm here with Debian 12 KDE.
What I had to do to set it up:
Use the controls on the printer to select my WIFI network and enter the WIFI password.
Hit print on my document in Linux.
That’s all. The printer is driverless and just works. There really is no setup.
It’s big. Reading the dimensions doesn’t really do it justice until you have it on your desk and see how much space it takes. Prints quickly and easy to set up. Liking how useful it is. I’ve printed a lot. Would have used up a black cartridge on my old ink printer by now. Worth the money if you’re mainly printing black and white documents
Great little laser printer. I wish I had invested in a laser printer years ago instead of the inkjet one. The toner it arrives with does not print 700 pages as advertised, more like 400 and a bit.. I know this because I’ve needed to print 400 pages and a warning has arrived telling me toner is low. I m finding it difficult to laocate a toner too. Brother toner is very expensive so Im going with a compatible one. Some review have said compatible cartridges do not work, while others say they do. I’ll take a punt.
My last printer ended up in the recycling bin due to to faffing about with wi-fi and driver settings – nightmare to use.This Brother print is straightforward to set up using USB cable. It only took about 20 seconds to set up and works with the minimum of fuss and complexity. The paper tray sits at the bottom of the printer, which means you do not have to hand feed the paper into the top of the printer, and keeps the set up neat and tidy.
I’ve had this just a little under a month and it works great. Automatic 2 sided print is a great paper saver too. Prints quickly with not jams from the main feeder. Some issues with jams from the single sheet feeder but that could be because I am trying to feed in labels that are a little thicker than your usual 80gsm copier. It catches as if it will print then says there is a jam, though there isn’t one. I have to take out the full drum unit once or twice for it to reset.
The only reason for the drop to four stars is that, when received, you could clearly see that the box had been opened and re-taped and when I opened it the drum unit was already in, so I think this was a return. It works great so I am happy to keep but it was sold to me as new/unused and should have been a warehouse sale with a slight discount.
I mostly print out texts and graphics using black ink, so I decided to buy the Brother DCP-L2510D Mono Laser Printer which is a perfect replacement for my large colour inkjet printer. This A4 laser printer is compact and easy to setup. It is connected it to my computer by a USB cable, but this can also be done through Wi-Fi. It features double-sided printing which helps me save on paper. The LCD screen and control panel at the front allows me to optimise the overall quality of my printed work.
This Which Best Buy and Eco Buy was just what I wanted. I was surprised it was not WIFI enabled and needed a driver to be downloaded which had to be searched for as it was not obvious on the Brother list. Once installed this printer supplies great prints.
Careful, I was under the impression that the Brother HL-L2310D was Wi-Fi connectable. That’s the trouble with those increasingly misleading on-line reviews! It’s a great printer quality-wise and price-wise, but you will need a USB Printer Cable 2.0 Lead A to B to connect to your main PC. Irritatingly, there isn’t one in the box so if you’ve not got a spare one somewhere, you’ll need to buy one.
Print speed etc. is good – printed off a 48 page document – a couple of the sheets got caught while printing and sent already printed sheets to the floor – only a couple – but other than that it is a good printer – the flap for paper holding after printing – if it had been a little bigger and wider would probably have stopped the sheet being caught and pushed off
