Rated 5 out of 5 by from My default printer company. I use Linux Mint Debian Edition OS as well as Linux Mint Standard OS's. Works every time if you load the Brother Linux drivers off the web site. I try to avoid all others printers. Brothers are priced right and they just work. Have installed 3 for others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null My first laser printer so took a few minutes to figure out how to load ink. Old brains work a bit slower. Love the 2 sided feature. So much faster than inkjet printers. Nice and compact, easy to use, quiet. Very satisfied. Perfect for the home office and should be good enough for a small business.

Initial toner cartridge should have more toner but all in all I am very satisfied. Great for personal use and home office. Threw out my ink jet. Ink jets consumables are too costly. Laser is the way to go. Price was also great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Of Two Minds I bought the printer through Amazon. I read the reviews and decided that it was the best value for the money. I still feel that way. When I got the printer, I found that my computer is "too old" to use the correct drivers. I certainly cannot afford to replace my computer. So I tried downloading other drivers in the hopes one would work. I did find one that seems to work well. Still, I don't really know if I am getting everything out of my printer. I am happy with the purchase, but wish I had known about the compatibility issue before purchasing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I have just had it for week now. I am not sure how laser printers are but this one appears to be good. I found the ink refill for putting in the cartridge very easy. The print speed is wonderful. I have yet to change my formats to different settings, so I don't know much about other aspects. I did find the canister to open the paper tray to be somewhat delicate. I am careful about that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally a printer that works. My experience with printers has been extremely frustrating. I am way too old to deal with the intimidation of the computer age much less deal with a printer that works occasionally. I have found in the Brother a printer that just works and is simple enough to for me to operate. The folks that helped me set up were wonderful and I understood every word they said. There was no techie mumbo jumbo. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Susan

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Okay unit. I find sufficient toner to print beautifully, yet the printer won't let me continue to print at my descretion, stating it need to be replaced. I didn't have that problem with my previous Brother printer. I should be able to use the toner until I determine it is empty. Toners are not cheap and it is a waste of money to replace when there is still adequate toner left in the cartridge. Also, the manual feed doesn't grasp the paper evenly all the time and reprints are necessary. I find that it is slower that my previous unit. I am thinking that 2-sided printing slows the unit down. I would not purchase another of any brand that prints 2-sided after this experience. My last Brother lasted almost 6 years. It was a great printer. I didn't replace 'apples with apples' so I want to be fair. I would recommend this printer. It is a good value. I should have purchased something more similar to what I had.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value personal laser printer Easy to setup and use. Only negative is that it gives off an obnoxious odor for a short time on start up (and perhaps to a much lesser extent while printing). I believe this is common to most, if not all, laser printers because of heating of internal parts upon startup and maybe the laser fusion of the toner to the paper. I believe the printer should be used in an area with ventilation -- especially if used in an enclosed office or small area or room.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid workhorse Ultra-low-cost very reliable small-footprint B&W printer. After I realized I didn't really need color printing I also realized I could get to an ultra-low cost-per-page level with something like this. Very happy for making the swap. Of course this unit does not scan/copy, but I have a separate SnapScan for that. And I use an online faxing service, so I am not missing that function.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the duplexing, works as cat bed too This printer replaced a 14-year old HP 1022 LaserJet that was a real work horse. Wanted a duplex feature for a new printer and this works perfectly. My husband loved its features and had a lot of trouble installing his and had to replace, but mine worked out of the box without difficulty. The cat loves the flat, slightly warm top to sleep on, so I gave her a pad to keep cat hairs out of the printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from IT WORKS!!!!! I finally got rid of my HP printer that required not only black ink cartridges, but colored ones as well. The cartridges inevitably would dry up before I could use them for any significant length of time. My contact person in our IT department said to get a printer with a Toner Cartridge. So I did that and I'm happy with it. I will say that I miss having a copier at my house and that was one thing my other printer allowed me to have.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply Outstanding Printer! The only printers I purchase are manufactured by Brother. The HL-L2300D is like my watch. It keeps on "ticking." I've not had any problems, but as I experienced with another Brother printer, if you call their customer service personnel you can expect caring individuals. They will assist you in every respect. I would recommend this printer if I was given the opportunity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It makes great copies, however, there is a problem This printer makes great copies, however, there is a problem... When making a volume of copies over 20, it frequently stops in the middle of the job. This happens whether we are making one sided copies or utilizing the duplexing features. We must baby sit the machine on large copy jobs, because it requires us to frequently open and close the paper supply door in order for the machine to finish the job. We have tried adjusting the amount of paper in the paper tray and it has had no effect on the machine's operation. Had it not been for this problem the machine would have received a much higher rating, as it does make great quality copies.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A terrific little printer Brother has come up with a wonderful little printer -- it's bare-bones, by today's standards, but sells at an attractively low price. No networking capabilities, no on-board LCD display, no wi-fi, but when it comes to key issues -- speed, image-quality, affordable toner, ease of set-up and installation -- it's a total winner. Its compact size is a plus, too. And a wonderful bonus is its ability to handle duplex (2-sided) printing automatically -- a great paper-saver. I've owned a number of Brother printers over the years, and this is by far the best and least expensive. A note on pricing: the street price fluctuates a lot (just check out Amazon's price history), as much as 30%, so keep your eyes on its current offering price, and strike when the iron is hot.

To me, the Brother name has always been synonymous with consistent quality, reliability, and affordability.

Although my printer needs are basic with this particular model, I was impressed with the additional features available on the other Brother models. All in all, I am extremely happy with this purchase!

I don't understand why a new product would be replaced with a product a year older.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great b/w laser printer Simple to use. Has very few places to get jammed up (haven't had a jam in over 3,000 pages! and runs smoothly. Compact in size, which was really important for me. I did have a problem in getting a new toner cartridge from working, and customer service was incredible!! Highly recommend product and Brother for it's customer service!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from HL-L2300D Terrible experience Sent the product back After sending it back I bought an All in one multifunction machine. This time even though the installation was not user friendly(this shouldn’t be rocket science I was able to get everything loaded on a Windows 10 operating system, but experienced the same trouble trying to installl on a Windows 7 operating system, despite turning off all the security and firewalls. So basically in order to print anything the document has to be moved to the Windows 10 computer then printed from there. An incredible waste of time and inconvenience. Support was of absolutely no help, and I’m still not able to use the fax feature

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great... every time! I needed a simple black monochrome laser printer at home, and ordered my Brother to give it a try. (Had not had one before, but other Brother products I was satisfied with. I love it. We were talking at work the other day, and I asked if anyone had ever had a paper feed problem or other irritation with it. Both said no. Because I loved my home unit so well, I ordered two more for work. We have large, color, complicated printers for many things. But sometimes just a near-by desktop does the job. And our Brothers do it well, every time!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid printer, minor flaws It needs a longer cord to connect to the computer. Also mine stopped working after 4 years with minimal use and no apparent damage (I didn’t drop it, no power outage, etc. It was legitimately working one day and blinking all the lights the next. At this point it’s cheaper to just buy a new one. Overall solid printer, used it all of college, but frustrating that all of a sudden it stopped working while in like-new condition.

We bought this printer so we could print our plant tags and it sure does an excellent job. We have no complaints whatsoever with this printer...in fact, I can not say enough good things about it. All our printers, scanners and faxes are BROTHER and we will never use anything else. The reliability, cost of ink, and speed make this printer great for businesses, like our Plant Nursery!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This product is really great I've had several versions of this printer. I love the quality of the copies, the convenient size of the printer, and the fact that it's a laser printer. There is a "toner saver" mode that I recommend. It doesn't seem to impact the quality of the copies at all. I also recommend the high yield toner cartridge because they last a long time. I have no qualms about recommending this printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for casual use, alright for heavy duty use This is a great printer, good quality, easy to use, easy to set up! The first thing I did with this printer was attempt to run off enough pages for around a thousand small comic books, so my experience may not be typical. The toner seems to run out quickly, but thankfully cartridges aren't too expensive. I might have to replace the drum pretty soon too. Despite the heavy workload, the printer has so far cooperated pretty well! If one was using this printer for typical day to day printing and not a few thousand pages worth of comics, it's a perfect combination of low cost and nice quality.

If the other one was any indication then this has many more trouble free years to go. Print quality is fine. Rating?-definitely 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from best bet in home printer! For over a decade I bought HP printers, thinking they dominated the market for a reason. The last three HP devices were all buggy, and prone to problems after software updates. All of them stopped working after only two or three years of use, and the per-page cost of printing on HP printers proved to be much higher than advertised. So I decided to try a Brother printer, and have been delighted with the trouble free performance. Highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brother HL-L300D This printer has many great features such as automatic double sided printing, really fast set up, small compact size, etc. Pros: Very efficient printer. Prints beautifully. Cons: It uses A LOT of electricity - I couldn't even plug it into our UPS as it kept shutting it down to the point where the breakers were thrown. In order to print an envelope I have to physically pick up and turn the printer at least one quarter turn to the left so that I can open the back part and then two levers have to be pressed down while the front, manual slot has to be opened in the front. It's quite a hassle as the printer doesn't quite fit on the computer desk and I can't get it far enough from the wall for that back cover to be opened. Other than that the printer is a good solution so far and the printing is beautiful! Thanks, Kathy

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple, efficient, no-nonsense, compact design I bought this laser jet printer to replace my bulky 4-in-1 printer which was always running out of one of the ink cartridges. Even if I only wanted to print in black, my previous printer would not allow me to do so if one of the color cartridges was out of ink. Very annoying. It also took ages and went through all sorts of shaking and dancing before it would print, if all of the ink cartridges were in order - otherwise I would have to wait to replace the empty cartridge. Very annoying. I love this simple quick and efficient printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Most Right Decision I really like the fact that this printer is not cumbersome at all. It's quite compact yet at the same time it is not miniature. The feature I like most is the fact that it easily prints on both sides of the paper; and it is not noisy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reliable as always This Brother printer is affordable and reliable as have been my previous models. For home use, good quality print, easy to use. My only "complaint" against this model is that I cannot print envelopes as easily as I could on my earlier machine: just stick the envelope in slot in front and print it out. On this one I have to turn the machine around to fiddle with some green gears in the back of the machine, turn it around to stick the envelope in the front, print it out, again turn the machine around to fiddle with those gears and undo what I just did to print one envelope; turn it around yet again to face forward for printing documents. Makes no sense and is too much work to use this feature. So back to addressing envelopes with arthritic hand. Other than that I would have given it 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Completely Useless DO NOT BUY This printer is terrible. Do you know what a printer is supposed to do? Whoever is reading this review, you probably know that it is suppose to print, but clearly whoever made it doesn't know. No amount of trouble shooting can make this printer work. Every online tutorial is completely useless. I've changed computers, cords, documents, document type and literally every variable. The only thing that doesn't work is the useless printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect For The Home The duplex printing, or any printing is faster than larger commercial-grade printers I use at work. For the FIRST print of the day, I've counted between 5-7 seconds from pressing the print button to the printer spooling up. I'm plugged in directly via USB cable. Rarely does someone actually require color, and the laser ink is far economical than ink jet cartridges. No complicated bells and whistles you'll only use once a year, this is a solid DUPLEX laser printer for the home!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Deal Out There Pros: Great machine at a very reasonable price. It laser prints automatic double-sided b&w plus lots of printing options, all in a very small package. I rest my laptop on top of it so the footprint is minimal. It must be reasonably close to the computer since it must be connected to the computer with an Ethernet cable. Cons: My only issue is why it prints on both sides of the paper when there is only one page to print. My Brother MFC knows not to do this. Conclusion: This is probably the best deal out there for a b&w laser printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic, except for limited LED view angle. Owned HL-L2300D for over 5 years. Processed several (10+) cases of Bright White heavy weight printer paper flawlessly. Only benefit to upgrading would be to choose one of the newer models which offer an adjustable LED screen which can be be viewed from either straight on or even below, as I must place the printer/scanner on a shelf at eye level. Must climb up on wheeled chair to view down on fixed upward facing LED screen. Fine for table top, but not for home users with limited desk space.

I only use it on occasion so I can't speak to how it works on big jobs, but I've had zero complaints since setting it up. The one problem I did have - everyone recommends just using the installation package on Brothers' website, but when I did that, it didn't recognize the printer. I uninstalled the software, then reinstalled it from the CD they sent me with the printer, and then it worked right away. So, my recommendation is just to use the disc they send and be done with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reliable, fast, simple So simple to set up and use. Seems like I have printed quite a lot but am still on the starter cartridge. Print quality is great - so much better than my previous ink jet. I highly recommend for basic home printing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I like it works for me I bought my laser to print bunches of stuff from the internet to support my genealogy. I don't need a fancy printer for this work. This L2300D does the job very well. It also is economical to printing if you you are not interested in color or graphics. It's not wi-fi, wireless either. Which works for me. I am pleased with the performance and print quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very nice printer I use LINUX as my computer operating system. I needed a new printer and got this printer. What a mistake.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Compact, Space efficient, quiet This is my first Brother printer. It was purchased (new) for use in my classroom, so it is a B&W version. Unlike the printers I normally purchase, it did not include all necessary cables to connect to my computer which was a hassle. A list of necessary cables was not enclosed so I had to do the guessing thing which was a hassle and meant that it sat on my desk while I waited on an Amazon delivery (it was that or do a purchase order and then I'd still be waiting!). Now everything is together, it works well. It's pretty quiet and reasonably quick. Truthfully, I like the lower cost of operation. However, I don't know that I prefer it to my significantly more expensive color home unit. It is more cost efficient and it does at least 85-90% of what I need (quick reports, master copies, individual copies of personalized materials for students or meetings, etc.), yet I still find myself needing color copies randomly and those have to wait until I get home! I've had some trouble acquiring individual printer cartridges (ink/toner replacement), and that concerns me as once I'm back on campus full time, I don't know how many copies I will actually get from a single "real" cartridge (not the promo cartridge they are sold with). I need to have a good source that sells both individual and pairs of HIGH YIELD ink/toner. So, all said, a good day to day printer if you only need black toner. If you need color, you will need a second unit or a different unit.

It was a no brainer to set up with a USB connection. It makes perfect copies. Most of what I need to print doesn't require color, so this excellent value is perfect for my needs and my budget.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent printer I enjoy the ease of use, dependability, and economy of this laser printer. Although monochrome, I find the laser technology more cost efficient than the cartridge technology of other printers where it is necessary to frequently replace the cartridges quite frequently at considerable cost and inconvenience. For a small business, a laser printer is essential and this printer stands out as a winner for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS Delivered March 22, 2022 This might be a little lengthy explanation, but I feel obligated to let people know about my recent experience. I needed a new laptop after my 18 year old Toshiba's motherboard gave out. So I bought a HP 17" by4061nr. I have an older model HP f4135 All In One Desk Jet printer. The reason I bought the HP laptop was because I thought they would have the software and drivers for my older HP printer to work with Windows 11. Wrong! After many hours of using the HP website in an attempt to get the software to download to my new HP laptop I resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to call HP tech support. I spent several hours with 3 different HP tech support people who I couldn't understand, if you know what I mean. I asked them to redirect me to a United States customer service rep and they said there aren't any US customer service reps. That's when I started looking for another brand of printer. I came across this Brother HL-L2300D model on Amazon. I read many of the 5 star reviews and some of the 1 stars. The vast majority of people raved about this particular model so I decided to take a chance. I received my HL-L2300D model today. The printer was packaged very well. It comes with an installation CD, but I used the installation directions from the Brother website. They were very easy to follow. With unpacking the printer, setting up the printer, downloading the software and drivers, I was able to print my first page in about 30 minutes or less. This printer does NOT come with a USB cable , but I had one from my old printer that worked just fine. Even if you have to buy a USB cable, it is a small price to pay for a GREAT little, fast printing machine! My inkjet cartridges use to dry out all the time. Laser printers don't cause you those headaches. Updated May 24, 2022 Don't hesitate to purchase this GREAT little printer. It is a joy to own. It is fast and quiet. You would be hard pressed to find a better printer value at this price. Thanks Bother.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wrong Assumption I purchased the 2300 because I already owned a brother printer in one location and needed another in my other location. The brand is very reliable and trouble free and it is a laser printer as I did not want to deal with the purchase of INK for a jet printer. However, I did not see or perhaps I overlooked the fact that the 2300 does NOT copy!!, which is sometimes very frustrating. When I went back to see if anything about copying was mentioned in the online ad for the 2300, I did not see anything! I just assumed that all printers are copiers too---WRONG!!

One helpful feature is the online support and emails when drivers need to be updated and other action is required. The website is OK but the outreach is excellent.

Small foot print is also a huge PLUS if not down right bonus.

There have not been any issues, & hopefully it will function for a very long time. Being a laser, it offers quality prints just in black & white which is no large sacrifice for small businesses & one person operations. It's compact size & lack of complicated connections is much appreciated. It is interfaced via USB as I am not a fan of Wi-Fi. The price was very reasonable, & there are no regrets looking back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My HL-L2300D printer I purchased the printer after my 20 year old desk jet began to fail. The HL-L200D was easy to set up and has performed flawlessly with word and pdf documents.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brother HL-L2300D We bought this Brother HL-L2300D as a utility printer that would never dry up and print very reliably Day-in & Day-out. It has done that ..and we are very happy with it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A dynamo work horse! This little guy is a pleasure to own! I have always appreciated the Brother brand and as an IT guy I have supported many of the enterprise level printers that service hundreds of users all day long and they are beasts! It is good to see that kind of care and ingenuity in a small consumer product. Thanks big Brother...opps... thanks Brother for treating the private consumer as well as the enterprise level industry!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this little printer! Love this little printer. I bought my first unit to use in my RV. Small, compact and easy to store. I was recently temporarily re-asigned to Tempe, AZ so I purchased another one to leave at that location. Everyone there completely satisfied with its operation. I really recommend this printer!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Threw it away Setup was impossible. Did not come with usb which is required for setup. Had to download software to my Mac. Would not connect. Tried to find a brother help phone with no luck. Emailed them and they sent me stock instructions from their website which I had already read several times. Printer will only print, not copy. Finally got so frustrated I threw it out and ordered an HP printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Knows how to Sleep real well. I've had this printer for 5 months. Read thru the whole manual then set it up. Did 1 printing job and it was fine. Didn't touch it after that for an hour. Came back to print some more and it was like the printer forgot how to print. Over the next 2 months I spent most of my time uninstalling the Brothers drivers and software and then re-installing it all over again. When it did finally decide to print from then on I had to make sure it remembered settings. The feature that annoyed me the most was the printer's penchant for sleep. I had the setting put on as many minutes as I could and still it went to sleep. And waking it up was like getting a teenager to get out of bed. Sometimes the lights flashed and stayed lit. Maybe it was ready. Believe it or not, by the time I turned around, checked to be sure the settings were right it still managed to nap before it received the print job. Let me be clear. I bought a Brother laser printer and doing my research. I figured there was value in their products. I learned 2 things. I'll never buy another Brother product. And my next printer will not have a sleep feature. They claimed it was a power saving feature. In an odd sort of way they may be right. If you don't use the product I guess you could call that power saving. DO NOT buy this particular printer. NOT recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome little printer : I ordered this when we began working from home due to COVID-19. Didn't need anything special other than two-sided printing. This is much faster and quieter than I imagined for the price. So happy I didn't waste money on a more expensive model when this more than exceeds my expectations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does What It's Supposed to Do! I purchased the Brother HL-L2300D because it seemed to be a basic, simple to use printer. It turns out that this printer is EXACTLY that which was advertised! Also, my partner has had his Brother HL-2140 over 15 years and it works as good as new.
