I had been researching a home/small office laser printer since November 2000 before buying this in August 2001. I had no previous experience of Brother printers, or any other make apart from HP, as I had owned 3 previous HP inkjets and had borrowed a...

Pros: Low maintenance, takes a beating, great for a home office
Cons: Not good for printing envelopes

I bought this printer for my home office a couple years ago. I print out 200+ page books on a regular basis, and the printer has held up well. When I made the purchase, I was expecting to sacrifice some quality because it was inexpensive compared to...

Pros: Easy to setup. High peformance. Excellent cost. Beats competitors.
Cons: It glitches on occasion, but doesn't everything. This does it less, though.

What does everybody want in their computer products? Low prices, good service, simplicity.... This printer has all of that.

I needed a new printer badly. I'm an engineering student and I have 40-page reports due every week. I need a good...

Pros: Affordable. Fast. Great Tech Support.
Cons: Paper Handling could be better.

A few months ago our venerable Okidata 600e died. This led to a search for a new printer for our front office staff. The brother 1250 was choosen for its specs and its price.
As I said, this was for our front office staff. Three women who generate...

Pros: Fast, quiet, inexpensive.
Cons: Annoying Quick Setup Dialog Box - Doesn't work well with Win XP

Cons: Susceptible to jamming

Pros: Speed, price
Cons: print shade

I purchased this printer 4 months ago and have had flawless performance. The setup was a piece of cake, the speed of the unit is excellent, and overall it gets a thumbs up. For the money, it's hard to find a printer with this kind of speed.

...

Pros: A great deal; upgradrable and reasonably priced.
Cons: High-Res graphics are a little fuzzy.

I purchased the HL-1250 after some pretty extensive research (including here on epinions.com). I got it for $399 from outpost.com. Yes, I could get it cheaper from other vendors, but I'm partial to outpost.com's policy of 'one price, including shipping'....

Cons: None so far.
