Rated 5 out of 5 by from Airdrop technologyI think the biggest surprise was the easy setup. GREAT! The only negative is the cumbersome envelope printing, but that is typical with laser printers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love it!It worked right out of the box and the printed pages are crystal clear and sharp. All I had to do is to plug it to the power, wait for it to boot up, restart my router so they "hand shake" with the printer and off I was printing from any room my laptop was at that point, no wires attached. Sleek design, all the scan and copy and print works perfectly, I am a happy user, thank you. Originally I was hesitant as it was my first purchase of Brother product, but now I know I can trust the brand. And the value is really great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Toner issuesFeatures are of the printer are fine, but two months into purchase, the ink smears all over the paper after printing only couple of hundred pages. Now after three months, can’t even read the pages. Customer service people are not easily reachable. It is disheartening that I had to deal with printer problems only after couple of months of purchasing the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent Machine - Hard To Navigate Setup & FeaturesDecent machine. Bought for the color and double sided printing. The small screen and navigation make it very difficult to setup and apply various settings. Connecting wirelessly to some computers was fairly difficult. Printing in great. Would choose a different brand such as HP in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice reliable printerI installed my printer to multiple computers and have connected consistently and reliably. I like being able to print from my phone too, which is always nice. Color laser ink is somewhat faint on regular printer paper, but I personally have preferred this to the thick wet ink jet prints. I haven't had to change the ink yet. I'm hoping that doesn't change my opinion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the quiet printing and wireless feature.I've always purchased brother printers ever since my first one about twenty years ago. The printer before this one was an All in One toner printer that is still going strong today. That one is about 10 years old. I love my Color Laser printer. I'm going to get one of work this coming year. Thank you Brother for making a great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Machine for a home businessThis is a good printer scanner for color laser printing. The fine detail is superior to an inkjet but as always dry toner printing is never as brilliant as wet ink but if you mostly use Black for text and you like to print wirelessly with a few copies or full bed scans you will be happy. My only area of trouble is the manual feed is very finicky. Hard to get a sheet of labels or an envelope to feed. Push too far it say s it's jammed not far enough and it might skip the manual feed and pull from the tray. I'm starting to get the feel of it but it should be easier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best printer I've ever ownedI love this printer. It was very easy to set up. My old printer broke just at the height of the lock down and it was hard to find new printers. I'm so glad that this one was one the few I could find anywhere. I love Brother products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great color printerPrinting is very straight forward from the computer for letter size work. I have not figured out yet how to get it to print the wanted size on photo paper. In other words it tries to print an 8 by 10 inch photo on a 4 by 6 inch card. Scanning is more complicated than I expected.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love itI ordered this printer for my home and we have really used it a lot. Easy to install. Love all the features. It scans too.
Date published: 2020-12-22T00:00:00-05:00
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cheaper in the long runThe main reason was the toner instead of the ink like laser jet printer use, it lasts a lot longer. These printers appear more robust than other printers out there. The all-in-one printers of other brands appear to be lightweight and easily damaged where as the brother appears stronger.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Owner/ManagerMy HL-3290CDW has not given me acceptable quality printing. My printed items, whether black or color, come out with light grey/black stripes across the page. I would not want to send any of my printed documents to a customer of mine because I would be embarrassed by the unprofessional appearance of the document.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy CamperThe printer is easy to use. I especially love that my phone, iPad and computer can print from anywhere in my home. Scanning is relatively easy once I figured it out. The paper tray holds an ample amount of paper and the unit boots up and closes down quickly once the power button is pressed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for my needsI’m an infrequent printer. My old inkjet was fine if I printed frequently, which I don’t. If you don’t use it for a while the ink dries and and you have to replace a half full expensive tank. Now that I’m working from home I still print infrequently but when I need to print it needs to work. All the time. This printer works all the time, it prints fast, and the prints look great. It’s also reasonably priced and the included “starter” cartridges are good for 1,000 prints which will last me a long time. Definitely recommend.
Date published: 2020-11-19T00:00:00-05:00
Rated 5 out of 5 by from great features!I like this printer for lots of reasons, the fact I can have a color printer without having to change ink jet cartridges constantly.It has one small thing, therre are light gray streaks on the paper which I haven't been able to figure out. I cleaned the parts it recommended, but still the gray streaks remain. For what I do, it's ok, but still annoying. Everything else works great - I was able to hook it up to my phone and macbookpro immediately, it's straightforward to use, and works in every aspect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bad Black CartridgeThis printer is really good except for a bad black cartridge. My IT guy, who got the printer for me, fixed that by replacing it at his expense. This printer was new out of the box and should not have happened. Check your quality control! I think you should replace the cartridge he got for me!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Technology TeacherIt prints beautifully though I have not used color yet. Scanning works perfectly too. It is certainly fast enough. The only downsides are very minor. First, it is heavy, 50 pounds so you might need two people to get it where you want it. Second, the printed documents do not come out far enough, it takes an extra few seconds to get your fingers on the sheet(s. If it lasts as long as my last Brother, an HL 2070n, 12 years, I will be very happy. Another great thing about Brother is that there is no expiration on the free tech support. I needed a little help in getting it connected to my complicated network. The support person figured it out quickly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Laser AIO, But Not Very Easy to UseThe unpacking, set-up and footprint is very easy or good. However, to set-up wirelessly with PCs is tricky and unreasonably tricky. Both of my PCs detected the printer, but the printer would not print as-such. Needed to do some installation that caused me to be uncertain that it was being done properly. In the end, it worked. There is a delay from when it "Receives Data" until when it actually prints. It is easy to load sheets. It would be helpful if there was an icon or instruction on which end is up/down and top/bottom. Also, not sure how to use manual feed.Still, I'll figure it out. It prints very satisfactorily, including Avery labbels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good all around printer scannerI have been using this printer for my home office. I needed a printer that I could do 30-page a minute and have the option to print in color or black and white. Printouts are crisp and clear. Scans are reasonable however this is not a multi-sheet scanner you can only scan one page at a time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for the home officeIt's not, a high end production printer like I have at work (graphic designer), but for quick proofing, scanning documents, and my kid's work, it's been great...especially during the stay at home orders. I purchased this for my home office knowing that we'd need something to get us through the pandemic, so far it's been flawless other than one instance of not being able to print a graphics heavy document, which even my office production printer (with a separate RIP) would struggle with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Efficient and QuietPrimarily wanted a laser printer and duplex feature. Read dozens of reviews and researched products for days and finally chose this printer.

Still need to explore some of the software features but in spite of that this printer is doing everything I want it to do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Meets my needsI was tired of inkjet printers. Things got so bad I was buying ink every other month even though I wasn't using the printer. The colors weren't right.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Initial experienceIt took quite a while to get this printer to talk to (or listen to any other device on my network. The manual is difficult to follow and not really intuitive for a decades long technology user. Maybe because there are "features" that I probably will never use.I finally did get it to print for me and I appreciated the color printing output. However after printing two or three pages it started whining about my black carrtridge being low. Oy?! It is still printing. When it quits I do have replacement cartridges. I hope the replacements will last longer than three print jobs!Maybe I have just not found the portion of the manual that will allow me set up my printer to use 4X6 inch paper - not glossy photo paper. The manual does caution about using glossy paper made for inkjet printers. 4X6 inch paper is ideal for one of my needs. I have plain paper but I cannot get the printer to actually use it. It will pull it in and print on it (as 3X5) but it is unacceptable. I have resorted to smaller 3X5 print output.I have used Brother printers in the past (starting with dot matrix) and found them reliable. This machine seems to be up to that standard. Much better than my experiences with H-P! Yes, I would recommend Brother products to others.Bill

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Multi-Functional PrinterI am elated to review this printer due in part to my own bias as Brother being the #1 manufacturer of printers in my humble opinion because of their ease of usage, performance, easy Wi-Fi connection, affordability, and longevity. This printer certainly meets the above criteria and more in several notable areas:Unboxing: Upon unboxing the printer, which is hefty in size, weighing it at 47.8 pounds was a task as I don’t mind stating, “I worked up a sweat!” There were a few pieces of blue tape to remove and the cartridges, (4 in the colors of black, magenta, yellow and cyan were already installed as the only thing to do was take off orange tabs that surrounded them for shipping protective purposes.Setup- of this printer was a user-friendly experience for a printer of this size. Brother has included a CD, quick setup guide and reference guide as options for users to successfully setup the product. Additionally, downloadable drivers are available on Brother’s website as an option too. I elected to employ the downloadable drivers due to the fact, my desktop does not have a CD rom drive. The download process was very quick and efficient. The first attempt to connect to my WIFI was unsuccessful, but the second time around was the charm and from there, everything was peachy.Performance-this printer runs great as there isn’t any loud sound when printing. The machine does take some time to warm-up before printing, I believe that’s due in part to its huge size, but once it gets going, it runs ever so smoothly and efficiently. The colors are vibrant as such, it prints as expected of a laser printer. Copies reproduce nicely as I copied a decorative color-based envelope, I was blown away how closely matched the colors were to the original envelope. I also copied some monochrome based documents, which reproduced fine as well. This printer’s scanning capabilities are good as scans come out clear and concise.This is my seventh device from Brother, 6 of which are printers and 1 scanner. I can honestly say without reservation that Brother really manufactures quality products at affordable pricing as this printer bears evidence. Therefore, if you are a small business owner, consultant, graphics designer or anyone who needs a printer that can handle daily productivity, then this printer comes highly recommended.Brother cares about their customers as they offer lifetime support of their products with excellent customer care support staff who really aims to resolve problems when they arise. Therefore, if you are in the market for a great printer with robust features at affordable pricing then please don’t look any further because Brother is at your side!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works like it shouldThere are a couple reviews from incompetent users regarding this printer so I knew I had to leave a review. Over the last 2 weeks this printer has produced over 600 black/white text pages of invoices, roughly 50 full color full page images of job sites, and has had no jams so far. My desktops do not have a disk reader, I was able to find the software in less than 2 minutes on Brothers website and the whole install process took less than 15 min. Change the paper weight in the print settings for heavy paper, and make sure to use the correct tray for it. You wouldn't buy a car and then not read the owners manual to see when/ what type of oil to use, so don't pick up a printer of this caliber without taking the 5 minutes to read though the manuals.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This Printer Stinks!Due to HP ink costs, I switched my printer from HP to Brother and it was a huge mistake. From Word, the printer automatically detects that the document contents are labels, so you are FORCED to manually feed each label... Want to print more than one label? Sorry, one label at a time and you must hold the label to ensure it actually gets fed, otherwise it jams or it arbitrarily switches to the the standard paper tray, I can't win with this printer!!! If you think I didn't change the printer settings in Word, you would be wrong.... The printer overrides you selection each time you open a previous file. Here's another fun feature, want to change the paper size? No problem, just remove the entire tray and try not to cut yourself in the process. I make at least (50 different color labels a day and now my job is made longer thanks to this printer. This is absolutely the WORST purchase I have ever made.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from NO IDEAI received my printer over 2 months ago and still am unable to use it. My son spent 2 hours trying to connect to the wi fi...(something I am unfamiliar with and finally had it running. We made 2 copies from the desk top. I tried, after he was gone to make a simple cop, and can not figure out how to get it to work. It is huge and sitting on my desk, and I have to go to the local library to print anything. I wish I had never purchased it and that I cut the box up. I would send it back in a heartbeat if I thought I could. Next time I will buy locally so as a senior citizen I might be able to get a set up and explanation on how to run it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Preliminary Opinion 7 WeeksInstallation was good, no problems. Printing and scanning seem to function properly. Occasionally when I send a document to the printer, I get an error. I turn off the printer and that seems to resolve the problem. When I have time, I'll try to figure out what is happening. One criticism is that the single sheet feeder could be improved. First, the guides to too short and too close to the rollers so that the sheet feeds at a slight angle. Second, often I must feed the sheet many times to get the printer to grab the sheet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My new best friend is a printer?I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The biggest need I had from a new printer was ink that lasted more than a month and the ability to print on two sides. Well this printer rings the bell on both of those issues. I have a home office with several laptops remotely connected to the now decommissioned printer. I must admit that I went a little cheap on the printer and left off some options that I now know are a MUST have.My favorite feature about the printer is the double printing feature. I never realized how much I missed this feature until I was without it. This will save me money on purchasing paper as well as help save some trees. One issue I had with the printer was the instructions. Setting up the ink cartridges and unpacking it was really easy. The issue came when installing the software on my windows laptops. The laptops do not have disc drives so the instructions refer to a website to download the software. The link that is given does not take you to the download. You have to really play around and stumble across the correct link to setup the printer. The link for MACs was spot on. There was also a driver update that had issues on each of the Windows laptops but everything still completed. It was very strange. Other than the initial setup, this is a great product. The first print job was slow but since then it has been really good. Definitely glad I made the switch to this printer for my home office. I would definitely recommend this printer. It is fast, the ink is clean, and the setup of the machine is very easy. I was really pleased with the printer overall. The only negative I have again is the initial setup for my laptops. This would probably be avoidable if I had disc drives in them. I would advise Brother to correct the link so that this negative would go away.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great print jobOverall I really like this printer, I bought this primarily for all the pdf pattern printing I do and homeschool printing also. I did find it a bit more challenging to set up than other printers I have had in the past. In all honesty, I would probably just recommend going to Brother's site and just downloading the software instead of bothering with the disc. The reason I am not giving this 5 stars is as follows, it is slow to start printing. We have pretty good wifi in our house but with this printer being wifi only, no ethernet cords you are reliant on that. It seems to take quite some time for it to send info from my laptop to the printer. It also goes to sleep and then you have to go and manually turn it on and off otherwise it won't "wake up" to print your stuff. I find this frustrating at times but I'm glad I've found this fix. I don't know if it's jut my inexperience with the brand that I'm not sure about how to use it properly. I also don't care for the fact that it doesn't have a regular screen and keyboard to type stuff in like your wifi password. It took an egregious amount of time to get it connected. Overall it's print quality is quite good for both color and b&w printing. It does print the pages quickly. I don't recommend trying to print photos with it as it just doesn't do well with photos. But I didn't buy it for that and had read that was an issue with Laser printers anyhow. I have had the printer a few months now and I look forward to seeing how it lasts and how long the cartridges hold out. I had issues with a different brand where my printer heads would dry up and not print well after not using it for a few weeks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works as adverrtizedSo far this printer is working just as we had hoped. We haven't had it in service long enough to know how long the supplied toner will last but we are ordering the large size replacements. My only complaint is the cost of toner refills but this is true of all printers, both those using toner or ink. While businesses may write off cost of supplies, home users as a rule cannot which adds much to cost of ownership.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from very reliableI like the duplex printing quite a bit, saves paper and reduces clutter. Always prints when I want it to and has yet to jam, streak, or any noticeable negative effects when printing. The wireless works well as my wife has printed many recipes/ideas for her business and in general. Her comment is that she loves being able to print something while she is miles away with a client and not have to try to save it for later, try to track it down in the evening, mess with plugging in cords, and, most of all, can come home and just not worry about work because she did that already!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Digital Color Printer & Scanner: Highly Recomme...I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I`ve been using the Compact Digitial Color Printer HL-L3290CDW for about 2 weeks now. As a remote worker, I need a printer and scanner that I can trust will work. This printer did that and more. The printer is fast and the quality of the printed pages is spectacular. The copy machine and scanner machine also work well. The machine is simple to use with a few buttons that highlight printer, scanner, etc. The best part is that it is a WiFi printer - which is something I had never used before. I would highly recommend this printer to my other colleagues who work remote and have already recoemmdend to my parents who are retired but still need printer/copy/scanning functionality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awfully PleasedCurrently using this printer as a replacement of our HL-L8350CDW (please see post-script below.Awfully pleased with the quality construction - an understatement, and its flawless performance, just like we had been with the 8350CDW previously.We also have a Brother MFC-L2700DW - same positive experience.One of the many reasons we gravitate toward Brother products is their complete, up-to-date, software/driver web site support even for old operating systems. This has not been the case with other major manufacturers as we discovered belatedly.When it comes to office products, Brother is out number one choice.PSThe HL-L8350CDW was performing impeccably well for years, until its support stand was knocked over and in the process the printer fell from three feet high. It continued working perfectly well however, we felt unjustifiably uneasy. So we decided to donate it to charity with a full explanation note. Somewhere at this moment there is a happy bargain hunter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great quality printingI received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The Brother Digital Color Printer is a great improvement for my home office. The print speed and quality are excellent. I love the duplex print feature so I no longer have to flip pages over during a print job. The assembly and installation was fairly simple. The biggest problem I had was the size and weight of the printer. My husband and son had to carry the box inside because of the weight. When I tried to take the printer out of the box I found it was too heavy for me to lift out. I had to cut open the box and flatten one side in order to lift it up from the ground. So be aware, this machine is heavy. Especially if you are used to using a lightweight inkjet printer. From there, it took about 45 minutes to assemble and set up the machine using the Quick Setup Guide. Installing the toner cartridges was a bit tricky since I haven`t done so before; the visual instructions were a bit confusing for me. I downloaded the Brother iPrint and Scan app to my phone and laptop. I set up wireless printing which I love. I have scanned documents and photos easily to my laptop as well as my phone using the mobile app. I am really happy with the time saving features of this printer so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brother HL-L3290CDWI received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. First impressions: My first impression of the Brother HL-L3290CDW was that it is heavy. Like throw your back out if you`re not prepared for it heavy. Unboxing and removing the packing materials was quite a process to do solo & I wish I had had someone help me with it. This is not a printer for Grandma unless Grandma`s linebacker grandson is there to carry the thing in the door and help set it up. Not to over-emphasize the point, but I went out and bought a new printer stand because I didn`t think the small table my previous printer rested on would be sufficient. This is a serious printer, it does not tolerate the weak. (I later noticed there a small diagram of two people carrying the printer etched into the side of the device in the plastic as warning/guideline- `hey, this is heavy`Removing all of the packing materials that secure the internal components was fairly straightforward, though there are quite a few pieces of tape and plastic securing the toner cartridges and paper tray. The benefit of this is that the printer need only be plugged in after removing those materials and it is ready to be set up.While printer shipped with a CD, I decided to skip the CD and download the latest software from the Brother website. I wasn`t able to find the software on my first attempt with the website & ended up just searching for the model number and "software" to get to the download page. After downloading and installing the software the printer Wi-Fi setup went smoothly; from powering on to printing a test pages took maybe 15 minutes. Subsequent installations on additional computers went more quickly.Using the printer: The printer allows both printing and scanning to be done wirelessly. Basic copying can be done with the flatbed scanner, though there is no attachment for scanning/copying multiple documents- it`s one page at a time. The buttons and small LCD display allow some stand alone functions with the use of a computer. Separate buttons for B&W and color copies are a nice included feature- you don`t have to navigate through a menu to select one or the other, just push the large dedicated button. A dedicated button for 2in1 (ID) copying is also included which might be very useful to anyone coping ID`s, insurance cards, etc. where both front & back are needed on a single page. The LCD screen provides simple directions on how to use the feature. A dedicated WiFi button is also on the controls which illuminates a dull neon green when connected to WiFi. I find this somewhat distracting as the printer is in my peripheral field of view. There may be a way to disable the light in the settings, but I haven`t delved that far to find if it exists. The software from Brother just works, with minimal effort on the part of the user. Scans transfer to the computer and pages print without issue. The software does include a telemetry/data analysis option where data on how the device is used is transmitted to the manufacturer. I wasn`t comfortable with this and disabled the setting. Also, the ability to scan documents onto a thumb drive via USB port would be a feature I would like, it is not included with this model.Quality: Scan quality is very good, though with only one-page-at-a-time scanning possible, scanning is secondary to the print functions. Both B&W and color printing looks very sharp and colors are accurate. I would not hesitate to use this device for everyday office printing. Having used the device less than 2 weeks I can not speak to the longevity of the toner cartridges, obviously use will determine how often they need replacing (the printer does have the ability to accept extra capacity toner cartridges & the model number for both regular and high-yield toner are on a sticker on the front.) All-in-all, very happy with print quality.Final thoughts: Overall, a solid device with good feature and great quality, make sure you have two people to lift it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Compact Digital Color PrinterI received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I have a home office and had limited spaced on top of my workstation desk. This printer/copier met my needs and demands to handle multiple tasks with speed and user friendly features. It was very easy to set up. Take out of box, and simply remove packaging around each toner cartridge, located on top of the machine. Next, I just removed some of the tape and packaging in the paper tray. Since this printer is wireless, it only needed to be plugged in to the wall for electricity. The wireless set up was much easier than I thought. Once the CD is installed, it will automatically recognize the WiFi network you are using. From here, I just followed the prompts and within minutes, I was ready to start printing and coping!For a laser copier, the only slight drawback is that it is a bit noisy.

Great quality printing, no jams and no issues in the 30 days we've been running it. We've printed a couple of art pieces for reference during homework - not photo quality, but it does the job well. Still has plenty of ink and I've printed nearly 1000 pages, including lots of music. Great machine.

I've used another Brother printer in the past with a touch screen, but this one doesn't have one, and I don't feel it's a drawback at all. Printer was shipped to me and packaged very securely and it has worked flawlessly for a couple hundred pages so far. I had to tweak some settings on my wireless router to allow me to setup wireless printing, which not everyone will have to do.

Other then that, I would highly recommend this printer for anyone!

The printer was easy to set up and instructions were clear. Took about five minutes from unpacking to printing. Easy! I assembled it in no time. My favorite feature is that the printer automatically prints 2-sided, which is great for saving paper. It is very quiet and takes up just a small amount of space on my desk, especially considering the flatbed scanner. In the past, I have had a laser printer and a color flatbed, but this product is better than both of those because it provides all the features I need in one machine. Printing quality is excellent and professional. I did have a little trouble initially getting the printer to print with WiFi, but got this resolved. Overall, I would recommend this printer for a home office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brother Digital Color Printer/Copier/ScannerI received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. Shipping: This product was packaged and shiped very securely. No major worries that damage could have happened even with non-careful delivery.Assembly: I found the unpacking and general setup to be very easy. The printer is a decent size, about as expected for a laser printer, as I have seen and used plenty of laser printers much larger than this product with equal to or even less features. Connection instructions were also very easy to follow. I had it up and running in 10 minutes and I wouldn`t say I am super technical. If you do have set up or product questions however, this brand/product comes with a product lifetime support line with a live person or live chat to help, which is always refreshing! I haven`t had to use the helpline yet, but is nice to know I have if I do need it. I do have to add one downfall, which really isn`t that big of a deal, is the lack of an alpha-numeric keypad for entering the initial setup info like time/date/Wifi/etc.. You have to use arrows to get to each charachter, which takes a little time. But, once you set it up, hopefully that`s the last time you need to do this.Printer: I was most pleasantly surprised at how quiet and fast it prints. It definitely is a great fit for my home office needs, especially while on a conference call and quietly printing out documents sitting right next to it. I loved the B&W, Color prints/copies, and 2 sided print options which I use often. The quality of these types of prints was very impressive with very clear images. The scanner option was equally impressive as well.Possible problem: If you don`t have a dedicated spot in your home/office, this product is on the larger side, but understand the challenges of making these things smaller isn`t always easy with the favorable features this product has to offer.Overall, I found this product to be a great printer/copier/scanner and so far highly satisfied, but that is based on limited time of use. Now I just need to see how long the toner lasts before replacement and how reliable it is in the long run. This product is for sure great quality! I`ve had other Brother products in the past and this appears to be another sturdy and trustworthy product from them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extremely Useful Printer!I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I had been looking for an automatic duplex color laser printer for a long time, as I needed a Printer for my Business and have to print a lot of pages weekly. Last year, I printed over 10,000 pages. It is important that the prints have color as it displays the details as it is an absolute necessity for my customers. Further, to save paper I needed the auto duplex mode, which this Printer has as well as works fast, andthis feature makes this Printer the perfect Printer for my Business.This printer is absolutely amazing. Has great color and auto duplex works like it should. If you know how to setup a router to have wifi setting up the wifi on the printer shouldn`t that difficult. The AirPrint system is great, we can print from our iPads and iPhones. Now all the macbooks, windows, iPhones and iPads used for my Business can print wirelessly.I`ve had a whole slew of printers over the years. Many years ago I gave up on inkjet printers as every one I ever owned seemed like a cheap piece of junk, they always blew through ink like crazy and I was always dealing with clogged nozzles and weird debris getting stuck to the heads. So then I switched to a black & white laser printer for a while and then to color laser printers. I had a couple of those but so far this has been my favorite. This thing just seems like a tank that is going to last a long time! As far as print quality goes it is great for me to, and this Printer just always works with zero problems is a winner for me. I like that each color cartridge is individually replaceable.All in all, I am absolutely happy with this Printer. If you print a lot and need decent color printing and want to print wirelessly, this is the printer you need to get for sure. I also know that this Printer will last a lifetime and will keep on giving me great quality colored prints which I need.I have already recommended this Printer to several of my friends and family members having a small Business for me and need to print a lot of colored pages throughout the year, and few of them already bought and used this Printer, and they also like me found it a great Printer. I can`t recommend this printer enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Some great featuresI love the duplex printing and the fact that I can now scan large documents. I didn't though realize that there is no feed for the copying /faxing. My bad. I have found that it is slower than my previous Brother color laser. I absolutely hate the fact that I have to tern it on everytime I print. My old Brother would automatically turn on when the signal was sent. Over all the new Brother is a good machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great printer for office, or home useI received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This is a great printer for office use, and home use if you do a lot of printing at home. The color quality is adjustable so you can save on ink if you choose to do so. It`s prints very quickly as well. The copy, or scan feature works great, and does so very quickly also. If you download the app printing from your phone is made very simple, and scanning documents, or images to your phone works great. The printer also has the ability to fax if connected to a phone line, but I didn`t use this feature. The only downside I can give about this printer is that it`s quite large. It would be perfectly fine in an office setting, but it is also stated that it is for home use, and it looks a little out of place for a home printer. The other downside is the toner replacement cartridges are quite expensive to replace. Again in an office environment I don`t see this being an issue, but for home use it`s a bit pricey. I guess it`s a bit of a trade off for a home printer. It will take forever before you need to replace toner, but it will be expensive when you do. After using it for a week, and printing quite a lot from my home office the printer works exactly as I`d expect. It prints quickly, the print quality is great, and the app works flawlessly from my phone. The installation of the software to my home pc was a breeze as well. I would definitely recommend this printer for office use, and home use as long as you`re aware that the toner will last a very long time, but will be a bit expensive when you need to do it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good, but not so compactI received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This printer took a little longer than I had expected to set up, but still not more than ten or fifteen minutes total, and the included Quick Setup Guide was easy to use. I used a printer cable (not included) to facilitate the WiFi setup; not sure how much longer it would have taken without it. I have had no troubles with the computer communicating with the printer. Scans sent to the computer and print jobs sent to the printer from the computer all go through with very little delay. The unit is also surprisingly quiet.It takes a bit of time to find all of the features you might want (2-sided copying, size reduction, etc.) when navigating the LCD screen menu on the printer itself, but it`s all there and functions as promised. No need to curse it out for printing something other than what you were expecting, as I have experienced with other multi-function printers in the past, and I haven`t had to deal with a single paper jam yet.The print quality is amazing, just as good if not better than you get from a professional print shop, to the point where I had trouble distinguishing copies from originals, even including handwritten notes in various ink colors and printed text with highlighting. I`ll probably buy some photo paper and print out some vacation photos to frame and hang on the wall, which is something I would never have considered with any other printer I have owned. The main price you pay for all of this quality is size. This thing is much larger and much heavier than I would ever want for home use, even in my home office where it gets moderate daily use. It is more solid and stable than the unit it is replacing, but that one had all the same features plus a few more, and it has worked for years without any major problems. I haven`t faxed anything in years, so the lack of fax capability on this new Brother model really just clears up some phone cable clutter, but I will miss the document feeder tray, which I used fairly regularly. Double-sided copying is especially cumbersome with this new one since you have to place each page flat on the screen, one by one, side A followed by side B. All in all, I haven`t decided whether to keep this unit or revert to the old one. A document feeder tray would outweigh the inconvenient size and heft, but I am enjoying the print and copy quality. I would certainly recommend this unit for an office with several employees, especially if there is a need for occasional high-quality, full-color print jobs, but it may just be too much machine for me.

Downloaded the software, and we were ready to go.Wireless.Connectivity (desktop and laptops.Family and I need to print maybe once a month, if that.

NOTE: To download updates you may have to temporarily disable your antivirus as the download address is blacklisted. When it is time to replace the toner, just order a new printer, the cost is the same as 4 tone cartridges. This way you can sell your old machine and get your cartridges less expensively and always have a new machine under warranty.

It was a breeze to set up with the quick start card. Based on some prepurchase research, this printer was better than others in the same price range in regards to color photo prints, although it is not a photo printer, it does a pretty good job & I am more than happy with the results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice upgrade!This is a nice upgrade from the HP Ink jet I had before that was expensive to operate.This has already saved us money in ink costs alone. There is one issue that has come up. The AirPrint feature, printing straight from our iPhones. Worked great and instantly the first few weeks. Now when we try our phones state there is no printer available. The printer itself is in “deep sleep” when this happens and doesn’t remedy itself until we push the WiFi button and the printer searches for a WLAN then all of a sudden the AirPrint feature works again. Don’t know if this is a settings issue that we need to adjust or if it’s an “update” issue as we have had to do an update a couple weeks after purchase and that is when the trouble started. Aside from that this is a very nice upgrade and am enjoying it so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from OK printer for home useI needed a new printer and started working from home. I have other Brother printer at work so decide to purchase this Brother HL-L3290CDW. So, if you do a lot of scanning, this is NOT the printer for you. It does not have a feeder for scanning just the flatbed. My wife likes to print pictures and this is a not the printer for printing pictures because of the toner type. I personally think it is slow. Overall, it was an overpriced printer.

Did not have duplex printing and did not play nice connecting with devices other than hardwired computer. Did fair amount of homework, finalized on the Brothers LED MFP. Where we have the printer does not permit the paper feeder (would recommend if you scan multiple pages more than a few times per month.Quite operation, air drop works (although sometimes slowly), very good scanning that is quick even with multiple sheets being manually placed. Overall quite pleased and believe we made a good purchase. After 4 or 5 weeks did have problems with black blotches and lines appearing on the printed paper. Performed recommended cleaning process multiple times, did not resolve the problem. Eventually problem resolved itself. Also had to change black toner after perhaps 6 weeks, maybe less. Do not know if smaller capacity cartridges are shipped with MFP or not.

This had a small discount off the total price, but was reasonable for a color laser printer. I examined the reviews, and some of them said that it didn't do pictures well, but so far, I've been satisfied with what we've printed. Love the front/back printing capability, and the scanning function has proved to be valuable, especially since I have been scanning family photos that go back over 100 years, and the scanner picks up subtle details and conveys them onto the finished file. Enjoying this printer immensely!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does the Job - BarelyThis printer is very disappointing. I have had it / been using it for six months now, and I'm VERY unimpressed. It's very slow to print, both to start and to complete large jobs. Even medium jobs, it has to pause every 3-4 pages to catch its breath and then start up again. The majority of the printing I do is black and white, but when I occasionally use the color printing, the colors are not true. I use the printer over a wifi home network, and I frequently have to reconnect it to the network. The print quality of black and white documents is good, but overall, I would NOT recommend this printer to others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well designed and built, priced reasonable.If you are looking for a superior work-group printer, that has rock solid Wi-Fi connection, print features, copy and scan. Then I have found no product that compares to this unit. Also, it is priced at an affordable price point, with the consumables prices equally at a fair rate. Unlike HP and Dell who overprice their toner and ink, this is priced reasonably. Also the drivers are much much much better than HP driver bloat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just keeps on printingThis is my 2nd Brother laser printer. The 1st was a mono black laser printer which I am totally satisfied with it's performance. When it came time to step up to a color laser I went directly to Brother and selected a 3 in 1 print, fax, scan model. After a couple weeks I can say it performs to my satisfaction. It is used with my personal home computer at home. I highly recommend Brother laser printers plus the prices are right and no more ink.

When I had the opportunity to purchase this laserjet, I decided to take the plunge and go for it (even though the initial cost was higher than an inkjet. I am so very happy I did. This printer well exceeds my expectations in both quality of print and even image quality as well as being a quiet and relatively fast printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty good but often frustratingI replaced a printer. Installing this was hideous. Took a couple of days. Realizing I needed to lift it to find the p/w was not great news but I did that, then installed a new p/w that is more secure. Now, it says I did not do that and need to uninstall/reinstall and reset the p/w again. VERY much dreading that process. When it works, it's great. When it goes offline, it is a pain. I need to update software but of course, it won't allow me access because of the p/w issue. ugh. As to general issues: often the print job is 'messy', with dirty looking results. I love this thing when it is easy to ignore.

The printer status is online and shows current network name, IP address, and speed but the troubleshooting and setup wizards will not work on the computer. One tool had me change the IP address which allowed a test page to print from the computer but afterwards the rest of the setup was unsuccessful with the Brother iPrint app and windows device setup on the computer or the app on my phone. I brought my old ink jet back out to have something while I wait for Brother to contact me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Compact But PowerfulI purchase the HL-L3290CDW to replace the my MFC-9560CDW printer I purchased in 2007. The HL-L3290CDW is a new and improvement from the large business printer I had for 14-years, which I've NEVER experience ANY problems. This why I went back to Brother for a new printer. The old printer is still functioning, but I mistakenly purchased non-Brother toners. The knock off cartridges leaked inside, so now, all of my printouts are bleeding a rainbow of colors, which is why I purchased a new printer. I will donate the old Business printer to Goodwill.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better Than Ink Jet For SureThis is my first laser printer and so far I have enjoyed it over my previous ink jet printers. I am hoping it will last much longer. The printing is clear and crisp and it prints quite fast. I like that it is wireless so I can place it somewhere else in my office. So far the only trouble I have had is in printing single card stock or label through the front single feed door. When I try to prink a single card stock or label, the computer keeps saying paper jam and I have to reset it. It eventually works but it would be nice if I did not have to keep resetting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Maddening wireless connection issues.I purchased the Brother HL-L3290CDW because I wanted a color laser printer with scan/copy function and duplexing that could print via a wireless connection. For a day or two after I first set it up, it performed these functions beautifully. Then it mysteriously refused to communicate over the wireless network and could not be reached from any device in the house. Although it would always print via USB, over the next six months it only functioned as a wireless printer about 10% of the time. The printer claims it's connected to the wireless router with the proper SSID and IP number; the router sees it and measures a strong 2.4 GHz signal; yet a ping request sent to the printer's IP returns a timeout or at best a latency of several seconds. Sometimes (but rarely, rebooting the printer would instantly restore its ability to communicate with other devices on the network and reduce ping times to tens of milliseconds. Then, after a day or two, it would vanish again. I followed every recommendation from Brother customer service, including updating the firmware, performing a factory reset, and tweaking every conceivable network setting. Ultimately I reached an advanced level of tech support at Brother (after a 40-minute hold time) and went through a long process of diagnosis. The very helpful agent ultimately said that what the printer was reporting in its network reports made absolutely no sense, so it must be a faulty unit. He arranged for a factory refurbished warranty replacement to be sent out. I received it this past week, set it up, and it worked flawlessly... for three days. Now it too exhibits the same stubborn and intermittent wireless network bugs. I will end up junking two of these printers and buying another brand instead.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A very good SOHO printer.The Brother HL-L3290CDW is a good color laser (LED printer with a small footprint. I chose it specifically for:1) Duplex printing (both sides of the sheet)2) Color3) Scanning / copy functions4) Good Price PointSetup was easy, although getting it on the network was a bit of a bother having to scan through a 2 line display and then button push through the character selection (long passwords!). It's reasonably quiet and functions seamlessly with a combined Windows / Apple IOS / Android network. The front feed manual paper tray is also convenient compared to my MFC-J5845DW.Loses 1 star because it really should have an ethernet port; printing confidential documents over wireless in a crowded WiFi environment is not optimal. Using the USB port(s) for printing is not an option for my location.

But the problem is after you’ve successfully set up your printer wirelessly on your desktop or notebook and don’t use it for a little while, it is disconnected from your WiFi network and you need to install it again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great printerGreat replacement of my last 10 year old brother that was beginning to print with less quality. Now I can automatically duplex print and print in color. Happy to be a Brother owner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful product!Works great. This is my third Brother printer for home; have bought 10+ Brother printers aforwork. I have loved each and every one of them. Much better value than HP, especially the toner replacement costs. Highly recommend for home and office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Printer!I love this printer! It prints quickly, reliably and beautifully whenever I need it to. The copy function works just fine. I haven't attempted scanning yet, mainly because my computer is dying, but I am able to print from my laptop and my phone with ease. I highly recommend it for a home office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to network and use color laser printerI had had it with HP laser printers. The hardware was a nightmare of jams and "drop out" functionality. But the software was really terrible. Could never get this printer to consistently connect with the full network. This Brother printer has been exceptional. Highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Laser Printer HL-L3290CDWDuplex is great feature. Easy to make addressed envelopes. Nice features. Problem with upgrades since it does not recognize password as indicated on back label.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brother HL-L3290CDW Laser PrinterOrdered this new laser printer through a seller in New York from EBAY when other sellers (including Brother's website) were sold out. It was delivered promptly through FedEx. Other than lifting it out of the box (it's 47 pounds), set-up was easy and fast. I have it set up wirelessly. It prints either one-sided or using both sides. Printing is sharp and crisp and has good colors but remember it's not a printer intended for photographs. I use it for work (i.e., documents and marketing pieces). Very quick output -- Overall, a great printer -- just buy it!
