Summary: This is a great color laser pinter for a home or small office. Print quality is excellent. High capacity, in box, cartridges make it a cost effective solution when compared to other printers in it's price range. I unpacked the unit loaded the toner cartridges and had it connected to my network within 30 minutes. USB 2.0 and Ethernet connect-ability allow users the best choice for their work environment. The unit weighs in at 53 lbs.
Pros: Fast, compact, cheap to refill, toner lasts forever, networked, usb printing, user interface accessible via web browser, lots and lots of options, inexpensive if you get it on sale at either Staples of Office Max
Cons: small feeder tray, doesn't print graphics as well as the HP lines.
Summary: After doing quite a bit of research online I purchased a Brother HL4040CN color laser printer for my home office. I was looking for an entry level color laser that would do a good job and not cost over $300. While there were cheaper color laser printers out there they did not have very good reviews.
Summary: This is my first laser printer. The set-up was fairly easy although I did have to do a re-install because I had trouble with the networking in our home office computers. I was pleased with quality of the prints both for presentations and picture quality. Only con is when I do print pictures from my computer many don't line up correctly one side does have a border and the other end bleeds off the page.
