By Manuel Tan Got this printer due to my 2 other very positive Brother Laser printers, HL5240 & MFC7840W, both excellent, fast and very reliable, the second reason is my old favorite, Konica Minolta 2300DL (Color Laser) is dying and hoping to combine the function with my still working Brother HL5240 to save space. Involved with design and illustrations, I print 80% of my work & documents in full color or combination text & color images, in short, I'm very color sensitive. Brother HL 4040CN is very easy to network even with Multi Window OS desktops, my home office got 2 Vista, 2 XP pro & a XP Media Center PC. Very fast and good text printing quality, actually the color is not even that bad, if I'm not that sensitive. Pros: Easy to install and network. Flip up LCD minimized glare and makes it easy to read the text and ink monitoring. Fast wake up from sleep or energy saver mode, I really like the light blinking when the machine it in progress or warming up. Easy front access both for toner replacement, paper tray & bypass paper slot, kind of idiot proof. Noise level when printing and warm up is comparable to my other laser printers, probably less. Heavy and looks like it's very well built. USB interface on the front is a plus. Cons: Color prints are warmer and slightly purple & green compared to the output from my Epson Inkjet & Magicolor prints. On the Green side, I think Brother should redesign their packaging, the unit is almost the same size as HP but the box is 100% more, it's so big that I can't even fit it in regular NYC yellow cab, I probably need to rent a UHAL van the next time I buy one of this. I was trying hard to love this printer and keep it even though the color prints are a little off, not until when my nephew drops by, look at the print and said to me, "nice terrazzo floor with beige field and gray border", with that comment, I realized it's time to return the printer, since the actually floor have white field and green borders. In fairness, I replaced this with a HP CP1518ni, Hp is even worst, prints much darker than any of my color laser, slower than Brother, slightly prints more red & orange, not as sharp and very muddy. I end up getting another Konica Minolta, Magicolor 2550, it's the closes match of a laser print that you could get to a decent ink jet print. But if I have to pick between Brother and HP from this experience, I'll take Brother without hesitation. And finally.....Thank you Staples, you are the best. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. As good as you can get for the price By D. J. McCullough I was a bit concerned by other's reviews regarding the edges curling but tried an in-store demo prior to purchasing it at the best price I could find- here at Amazon, and didn't find it to be a huge deal. I do find there is a slight curl but for me it seems go away as the pages sit on my desk and the color is far more superior to other demos I tested in the same price range so I'd definitely recommend this printer. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Excellent printer By Matthew Maples I picked this printer up at Øffice Ðepot yesterday and with some help because it weighs 64 pounds, got it home. Setup is very easy, even for someone without any experience with computer hardware. Just push a tab in, open the front, remove all the bright orange shipping things, pull out the drum unit, slide in the toner cartridges which match the letters (K into K, C into C, etc..), install the software, plug in the USB or Ethernet cable (which you supply yourself), and you are ready to print. Before you print, however, make sure you open the printer settings and configure it the way you want. Also access the printers menu and configure those. The DirectPrint option to print PDFs and JPG files from a USB drive directly is nice, but some USB drives will not

Most helpful customer reviews 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. FAIL! By Edward K. Lankford I work at a hotel where we have 3 of these printers and ALL of them have the same problems. First, the paper frequently "jams" in that every 20-30 pages printed it stops printing because it detects a jam; when you open up the paper tray, however, you find a page that the printer has attempted to feed but failed - it's not even really jammed in the traditional sense. The "jam" happens less often when the paper tray is full so even though you can put a whole ream of paper into it you have to fill it up constantly so it won't "jam" as often. One other thing: when the pages feed out of the printer they do not collect together anything close to neatly. After a few pages, the pile quickly becomes a jumbled mess with some pages almost coming off the pile. Do not buy this overpriced piece of plastic. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great Printer for a small network or home office! By R. Sly I have had this printer for about a month. It was very easy to setup on our small school network, I assigned it a fixed IP address to make it easier to find and install on the 10 computers. I used the HP network installation utility to create an install program that each of the Windows XP and Windows 2000 pc's could use to load/install and make the default print driver. Very straight forward. (I set it up to default to double sided printing to save paper). I downloaded the Vista PCL6 driver directly from HP and used that driver on our 4 Vista pc's. I estimate we will be printing a couple 1000 sheets a month. I choose this printer for a several reasons: - Past experience with HP higher end printers (my work uses them by the dozens). - Ability to Duplex print (double-sided). - Heavier duty than most of the 'bundled' printers that come with a new PC. This LaserJet can easily handle our printing load. - Paper tray holds a full ream of paper (500 sheets)! We should not have half full reams laying around. - Fairly fast printing. Although using the duplex mode takes about 2.5 times the time to make a single sided print. Estimate the first page in less than 10 seconds, then if single sided, a print every 2-3 seconds. In duplex mode, the page comes out about half way and then pauses for a couple seconds and it is pulled back into the printer and then is ejected out with the back side printed on. Takes about 6-7 seconds to print both sides of a page. (These are normal word processing documents without large graphics). - Built in networking, the Jet-direct embedded print server is very easy to manage with a web interface. Also very easy to check on usage and toner level. Very good status and usage information, telling how many of which size paper and if single sided or double sided, error messages or paper jam logs etc. (So far no paper jambs or errors!). - Had a $450 instant rebate which cut the cost in half, very good value for the money. Picked it up locally for the same price as Amazon had. Didn't have to wait for shipping and it was a sales tax-exempt purchase. - Amazon had one of the best prices for the genuine HP toner kit, so I bought the toner from Amazon. You do get what you pay for, so compare the P3005dn to other printers in the same price range. This was a better deal than the HP P2015x. - Printer came with one of the HP Q7551A toner kits ($110 value). This toner should last 6500 pages (the fuller Q7551X cost almost twice as much and gives double the number of pages). Double sided printing counts as 2 pages. This was a good purchase for my school. I will write another review after we have used it for several months, maybe after the first toner change so I can state the number of copies we got. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Fast By Ian Hennessey We upgraded our office printer, which is used by 10 workstations, from an hp laserjet 2200dtn to this p3005x. It was a huge improvement. It is very fast, prints very sharp and holds a lot of paper. We are very pleased with its perfomance and I couldn't find a better price than amazon's. So far so good. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Bad Formatter Board; Not A Reliable Printer By Rosedale Redneck I have been extremely pleased with HP printers for as long as I've been computing (almost 25 years!), however I bought an HP Laserjet P3005x in late 2007 and have had no end of problems, the most significant being the faulty formatter board, which is the brain of the printer. I have learned that this part is defective in a large number of these particular printers, and that there is an HP service note on units within a certain serial number range. My printer of course is just outside the service note range and is out of warranty, so I am S.O.L. with a dead printer barely over a year old. My old HP Laserjet 4L worked for almost 10 years without a single problem. Needless to say, this has been one very disappointing printer, and the fact that a crucial component within the printer was defective right from the start (and many, many other units contain the same defective part!) is even more disappointing. Please be cautioned that the Laserjet P3005 series printers are repair magnets; if you are considering buying one I recommend that you try to find out the serial number of the printer you intend to purchase, and do some research with respect to the service history of that serial number series. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great high speed, network ready printer By James L. Baldwin This printer was purchased for use in a registrar's and student accounts office. The foot print is small, multiple trays provide flexibility, speed is good for an office setting, toner seems to last longer that many, and set-up was easy. This is a great small, B&W office printer and the price is reasonable. No complaints or problems to date. See all 5 customer reviews...

Most helpful customer reviews 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Problem Child By Tony Clark The Lexmark X204N prints right around the manufactures published specs. Both plain text and pdf print and copy at about 20-24ppm.I know this since I actually timed it. I tested with graphics print and it was still in the 20-24ppm. So, if you are not printing this fast you need to check your drivers on Lexmark's website, and upload the latest updates. When I first used the scanner I was having problems using the scanning software with Presto Page Manager. It ran slow. Instead, after talking to support, I opted for the other software that comes with the printer called the Lexmark Scan Center. I orinally reviewed this printer with 5 stars. But, do to countless printing issues, I must downgrade its quality. It seems like nearly any kind of required Windows update, or software update from an unrelated program pends the printing function of this printer. Then, in order to print the pages stuck in the pending file you must reboot your computer. Hopefully you are not in the middle of something important, or have 5 other programs open that take time and passwords to restart again. All in all, I decided that this printer just puts me into a bad mood. I never know when it will print. I had an old HP Laser jet for over 10 years, and it printed 100 pct of the time. I have owned the Lexmark x204n for only 5 months and it has had about a dozen printing malfunctions. Despite 3 phone calls to tech support, and several updates the problem was unresolved. I guess I should have heeded the advice of my local computer guy and old friend and never bought a Lexmark. They still have all the problems they have been known to have with past printers. 7 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Scan and email feature does not work as advertised By Eric G. This review is for the Lexmark x204n multi-function printer. It's got laser printing, scanning, and faxing capabilities for a decent price. What intrigued me the most was the advertised "scan to PDF and email" feature. It's a very convenient feature that most printers in the low-end price range lack. I was so surprised to find the scan and email feature that I had to investigate to be sure. If you read the User's Guide, indeed it says you can scan and email. What it completely fails to mention -- and this is very important! -- is it requires an external SMTP server. What's worse, the printer does not support an SSL or TLS connection to the external SMTP server. Lots of technical jargon there, but in short what it means is scan and email most likely won't work for you. Under what circumstances will the scan and email feature work? It will work if you've got an SMTP server that allows either no authentication or plain text authentication. (Basically none. Your ISP probably gives you access to an SMTP server, but again your ISP will require either SSL or TLS which the printer does not support.) It will also work if you're tech savvy and can set up your own SMTP server on your local intranet, and use it to relay to your ISP's SMTP server. I do need to add that if you're interested in scanning, but don't really care about the email, the printer software comes with a client GUI scan program. Thus you can retrieve your scanned documents from the printer that way. (I don't really care for it. I need the email feature.) As for the other features, the laser printing seems pretty good. I haven't used it much yet. I have not used the fax feature yet at all. 7 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Very good at the right price point By Eric Chang I use this mostly to print out documents at home with some occasional scan and fax use. The printer is set up on my home network and I access it with both Macs and PCs and works flawlessly with both OSes for scan and print. Print quality is great as you would expect of any laser printer. I set up the email scan feature and so it is a very painless
