Best Mono Laser Printer For Mac

The Brother HL-2270DW is the follow-up to the immensely popular HL-2170W. The 2170W was popular for its amazing value and print quality. It was also wildly popular because of a neat toner trick to get it to print more pages out of the toner, even when the printer claimed the toner needed replacing. The one big knock of the 2170W was the difficult wireless setup and for being only able to use one network connection at a time-- either Ethernet or WiFi. The 2270DW adds an automatic duplexer and also improves performance.

PROS: - Fast, fast, fast - Great print quality - 3 connectivity options including WiFi - Automatic duplexer - Supports Windows XP/2000/Vista/7, Mac OS X, and various Linux distros - Good looking - Great value CONS: - Starter toner rated at only 700 pages - Slight curl for duplex printouts - Uses different and more expensive toner than 2170W - WiFi limited to 802.11b/g Once upon a time. Setup: The printer came with a very detailed guide that made setuo quick and easy. Newegg. In less than 10 minutes I had it connected to my computer, added to google cloud print (unfortunately it is not cloud ready so it had to be added as a classic printer), and successfully printed a few test pages from three different devices: my desctop pc, my macbook pro, and my moto x(using cloud print). Print speed: This thing prints insanely fast compared to my old hp touchsmart laserjet. I am a computer science major so I have to print lots of pages and this thing blazed through 13 pages of source code in less than 30 seconds(time from hitting print to it being done printing).

Laser printers function best in situations where you need a high volume of print-outs. If you’re printing school, college, or club reports or other documents and you need a large number of copies, a laser printer is an apt choice. What is a good mono Laser printer for mac?

Print quality: The only printers I have used before were inkjets and the difference in quality is amazing. The printing is so sharp that even 2pt font was readable(with a. After going through another $56 set of inks on my inkjet printer, I decided enough is enough. I don't need to print documents in color and I no longer print photos at home because Costco and Walmart are cheap and easy (and better). This Brother laser printer was my solution. I give the printer high marks: the print quality can be set at three different levels and the two highest levels are superb. Also it duplex prints (both sides) and does a good job at that.

Printing envelopes via the 'straight-through' path is easy and has made my label machine less useful. As with so many tech units, it's the setup that is the hassle. I am a Mac person.

UPDATE: See toner saving tips below under UPDATES. My review follows next. I have never owned a Brother Printer before. I have always used either HP, Canon, or Epson.

To my thinking, printers like those made by Brother and Lexmark have seemed to be less reliable in times past. The past 5 months have proved me wrong. This Brother is an astounding printer at a terrific price. All features work flawlessly and print quality is outstanding for this price range. Brother have upped their game over the last 4 or 5 years and I was tempted enough (after my HP and Canon both gave up the ghost) to look elsewhere. This Brother Printer (and I still have a Canon Pixma Inkjet for occasional color needs) is just a work horse. Flawless printing in regular and duplex mode.

Originally, I just hooked a USB cable to it. We got this laser printer to have as an alternative to the inkjet printer we own. Yes the inkjet was cheap but the caratridges are so expensive and run out so fast!

We got the brother because we've had good experience with other products. Also, the price is really good and replacement cartridge are also good price. PROS: wireless, fairly easy to set up and connect (we used the cd to install and set up the wireless settings), scans fast enough, DUPLEX printing (save paper), paper storage and feeder in basket under printer (tucked away nicely), currently set up to print wirelessly: imac, macbook pro, and samsung galaxy s3 CONS/MY NOTES: no alphanumeric keypad so if using printer to set up wirelessly it's tedious, fan is a little loud while printing but not terribly so, because of heat paper curls a little, if your standing directly over the lcd screen. I am editing this review because I really tried to like it.
