THIS PRINTER IS AN IMPROVMENT OVER THE HL 1440 IN SIZE,BUT
THIS PRINTER DO HAVE A FUSE PROBLEM AND THE COMPANY HAVE YET
TO ADMIT IT. RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE PRINTER IN ORDER TO CONTINUE PRINTING. THE LED LIGHTS STAYS ON CONSTANTLY AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO COME ON THE
PHONE TO TELL YOU TO UNPLUG THE MACHINE OR DISCONECT THE
PRINTER FROM THE COMPUTER. THEN IF THAT DON'T WORK THEY
WILL SEND YOU ANOTHER PRINTER. NOW THE NEW PRINTER IS DOING
THE SAME THING. TAKE MY ADVICE TRY ANOTHER BROTHER INSTEAD OF THE HL 2040, THIS IS A ROTTEN PRINTER.
Pro : THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE AND THE NAME IS GOOD
Con : YOU CAN NOT PRINT NO MORE THAN FIVE TO SIX PAGES AT A TIME BEFORE HAVING A PROBLEM.

I paid a high dollar for this printer $179 as I ordered it from a printer shop and not on line. I used the custom load feature so I can use any paper. It is set on "plain" and I am using up my ink jet paper. I have never had any trouble and have printed 40 pages or more at a time. It pauses after a few. After 15,000 pages you will need a new drum, costly but not as costly as my ink jet drying up when I went on trips and my room is hot. It has an ink saving feature. I have had this printer three months and am happy with it.
Pro : affordable
Con : none found

Bought the printer because of the cheap price ($79) and I have been kicking myself ever sense. The printer has "fuser unit failure" after 5-6 pages and has to be shut off for fifteen minutes before it will print again. Stay away from this printer… far away.
Pro : Cheap price
Con : Cheap Printer, will not print more than 5-6 pages at a time

I bought one of these printers last year for my home, and I liked it so much that I just bought another one for work. I love the speed- very short warm up time, and it will print 20 pages per minute.
The best feature is the cost of replacement toner- which is about $30 online for a non-brother replacement.
Overall, I'm extremely happy with both of my printers.
Pro : Fast!, inexpensive, and reliable
Con : None

I got the "intellifax" changed 2 times, this is the 3dr machine I'm using and again, presents the same problem, the papers got jammed inside.
At work I receive an average of 10 faxes daily and is a mess, I am going to change for another brand.
Pro : Price
Con : 3rd machine with the same problem!!

I got this printer for $90 after rebate. No problems at all during install or initial use. No more paper curl than any home Laser printer. Like any Laser (I own 4 others) it needs POWER. It will dim the lights if you have an overloaded plug!
Pro : Price and speed
Con : none for the price

After it finished its first toner cartridge, i was very happy with it. But then when i bought a new toner cartridge, and put it in, the toner light would not go off. I understand from the manual that this is a "fuser failure".
Disappointing, considering it was doing fine up til then.
Pro : Nice print quality, fast, cheap
Con : premature burial
