Brother MFC-L2820DW XL Wireless Compact Monochrome All-in-One Laser Printer with Copy, Scan and Fax, Duplex, Black & White | Up to 4,200 Pages of Toner Included(1), Works with Alexa

This printer is faster (pages per minute) than my previous one and produces good quality monochrome printouts. The dual-sided printing feature saves paper when you don't need a blank reverse-side of a printout. Paper capacity is OK, but I wish it could be loaded with a full ream (500 sheets). It is a bit of a pain loading a partial ream of paper and adding more sheets until it is filled to capacity. The smaller paper capacity is pretty much standard for a SOHO printer, so I can't complain too much. I do miss my old HP Laserjet that held a couple reams of paper though. :-) I am using a USB connection to my PC instead of WiFi, so I can't comment on its WiFi connectivity.

This printer works great, not unlike the Brother printer that it replaced. Thing is, though, I'm not so sure I would take advice from me, if I were you. See, I didn't really need a new printer. I had replaced my old computer with a newer version which had Windows 11. For the life of me, I couldn't get my computer to send anything to my printer. As it turns out, the new computer would default to "Print to Save." All I had to do was change my preference when the print screen came up. So, don't listen to me: I'm an idiot. (seriously... It's a really good printer)

I bought this to replace a working HP that I just didn't want to spend the money to put ink into it. I gave it to a local company to recycle. I have an HP laptop that I'm very happy with but I will never buy another of their printers. This one has been wonderful and it prints instantly! It's everything I've wanted and no more fighting my printer to print!

Easy setup for wireless connections, good printer output. This replaced a much older Brother printer that finally printed it's last page after years of usage. Highly recommend.

Good B/W printer at a decent price. Great addition to my home office. Excellent connectivity and easy to use through either the Brother app or Apple’s native printer app on my iPhone.

After years of struggling with inkjets and wasting more ink than I actually used in printing, I finally gave up and bought a toner-based laserjet. Should have done that years ago, but they were so expensive and inkjets were so cheap. Live and learn. I downloaded the EzeSetup as recommended. The printer worked fine printing internal reports and copying, but wouldn't receive print jobs from the wired network, the wireless network, or the USB plugged directly between the printer and the PC. All print jobs showed being sent then changed to "error". Being one who likes to figure things out myself, I kept banging my head against the printer (didn't affect the printer but gave me a headache). Eventually, I saw a link on a Brother support page to a download of the full package for my printer, complete with all drivers, associated software, everything. After I downloaded and installed that package, the set up went flawlessly. Within a few minutes, I was printing and was very happy!! About my only complaint would be the sounds the printer makes to, I guess, let you know it's received your instructions and is processing them. It's easily turned off or turned down through the display screen, though, so it's easily fixed. The printer is quick, reasonably quiet, and turns out great black & white pages; crisp, clear, and easy to read.

I read many of the reviews for this printer and was convinced I could set this up (make the printer communicate with my desktop). Not so simple. I followed the directions included and got online to download the "connection guide" from the Brother website. The size of the print from the Brother website download is ridiculously small AND you can't read everything in the frame on the screen AND the scroll didn't work AND I couldn't enlarge the frame! Aaaarrgghh!! (I can't imagine trying to do the set-up from my phone). Then the downloaded "wizard" asks if I wanted WiFi hook up or USB or land line (is one better than the other?). Then the "wizard" instructed me to enter the network name and network passcode. Huh?! What's an SSI anyway? I was stuck. I ended up calling a computer/tech expert. He laughed and said it is easy to set-up if you know how to avoid the directions provided. Over the phone, he walked me through setting it up from the printer's touchscreen rather than my desktop. Within three minutes and a $55.00 service fee, I was up and running! My previous Brother printer finally died after 18 years so I did not hesitate to buy another Brother. It easily and comfortably fits on my desk (next to my tower and screen) which makes it super convenient to access. It came with two toner cartridges and the drum. It's not too loud when printing. Because I set it up for wireless, I didn't need any additional cables but I suspect if it was hooked up non-wirelessly, I may have needed another cord that was NOT provided. I am very pleased with the printer so far. I strongly suggest you have access to a tech guru (or maybe a teenager?) to help walk you through the set-up rather than relying on Brother's website download.

What a disappointment! We have a small business and usually purchase Canon printers. However, this round, the reviews for Brother printers were much better than the Canons, so I thought I'd try something different. At best, this would be an oversized and overcomplicated machine for home use. It is totally underwhelming for small business use. The starter toner that came with it was the longest lasting toner cartridge thus far. We bought this exact listing because it came with a second full size toner cartridge right in the box. After seeing how long the starter cartridge lasted, I was really impressed. We put the full-size, NAME BRAND, toner in and barely used it when it just refused to print any more and said it was empty. It was still printing great quality. At worst, I would have liked to give it a little shake and see if that would reset the sensor, but the printer wasn't having it. So, even though we had only used it about 2 weeks, I changed out the cartridge again. This printer was bought in July, the first cartridge lasted about a month and a half. I am now on my 3rd high yield toner cartridge since changing out the first starter cartridge. So, both Brother and aftermarket cartridges run out in about 2 weeks. We are a business, but all the printers we have purchased from Canon were for small business as well and we have NEVER run through the ink like we have with this Brother printer. What a waste of money!

Connected via the ethernet - printing and manual scanning working very well. Have not tried the fax or the auto feeder. Like large paper capacity. Used option to turn off the sound, as the device otherwise plays a little tune every time I turn on my computer. Also, oddly when I turn my computers on Wi-Fi on or switch the Wi-Fi connection the printer comes out of sleep mode, whirs a bit, and then go back to sleep.

La qualité Brother . Fiable et impressions parfaites.

Premièrement assurez vous qu'amazon vous envoie le bon modèle, ils m'ont expédié le modèle 2820dw alors que j'ai payé pour le 2820dwXL. Ça pris plusieurs jours pour corriger leurs erreurs, plusieurs agents. Brother laser sont de très bonnes qualités mais le modèle XL ne prend pas en charge le 11x17 comme indiqué dans la description. Tout ce cassage de tête avec le retour du mauvais modèle, l'expédition du bon modèle, les 2 jours perdu à attendre la livraison parce qu'il faut donner un code de sécurité pour finalement un modèle standard, c'est fachant étant donné que je l'ai acheté pour le format 11x17.
