This is my second Brother printer. I got it because I was tired of replacing liquid ink cartridges every other week. The toner cartridge generally lasts me for several months, so no maintenance. I switched out my old printer because I wanted some of the newer tech. It's a little easier to connect to internet and works better with my wife's chromebook. So I gave my old printer to my son and his wife who is an english teacher. So the old one still works fine.

Great printer. My second Brother printer. Would not buy another Brand. This new one replaced one I had for many years. I had friend to help install and took about 10 -15 min including set up. You do not need to use the CD that came with it. I wished I had watched person installing so I could give you hints but suggest you call Brother if not sure. I set up on Ethernet instead of wireless as my computer/router very close. I can print from my iPad and iPhone easily by using WiFi but I keep my computer turned on when doing this. The duplex works great, it scans and copies well. I do not fax so cannot attest to that. Not had paper jam (and hardly ever on previous Brother printer). Using laser printer (black and white) saves so much money compared to using ink jets. I do not need color printer for my work.

This was my first purchase of a Brother product. I was a solid HP user. I did my research before the purchase. I knew it would only print in black & white do to my research. It has met and exceeded the manufacturers claims. It was easy to install, wirelessly. It does have more functions than I was expecting. I have had it about a month, and after getting used to a new way of doing things, it has worked great! My only problem in 30 days? One paper jam when using the top scan out of about 100 uses. I do not regret my purchase, and have recommended it to others.

This is a good product. It's easy to set up and works as promised. One note: Brother guides to using this wirelessly. We prefer having the printer connected directly to our laptop, and the cable is not provided by Brother. Fortunately, we kept the cable used with our previous printer and use that to connect. All said, we're happy with this Brother B&W printer, especially the install ease and durability of the printer cartridge.

This Brother is a re-design of its first (second?) generation multi-function printer/copier. It is a great medium-size machine for a small office, allowing wireless sharing for multiple users on the same network. It gets out a quick first page and has quiet output. The setup was easy too. The main paper tray holds nearly a ream of paper, and the toner cartridge has a large capacity. On the negative side the envelope feeder isn't so great, so I'll be trying out a couple different envelope types to try to get fewer jams, or switching over to labels to get mailings out. Overall, for the price it can't be beat. PS. Our last Brother MFC lasted 6 years of constant use. Outstanding durability.

So far, this print/copy/scan/fax multi-function machine has been a very nice upgrade and I am pleased with the performance. A few learning 'bumps' on my part, but since I am replacing my previous Brother printer, then there are some changes incorporated into the machine since my last purchase approximately 20 years ago. The wireless connectivity, multi-function, and increased performance features have been nice.

The printer itself works very well. My chief complaint is the inaccuracy of the installation instructions.. Nothing worked and even though I called support, the info they gave was also inaccurate. After several hours and attempts, I was finally able to figure it out.

I have had my Brother MFC-L2717DW for a couple of months now and couldn't be more pleased! If you're considering this printer, I would highly recommend it. I've printed several thousand pages with NO jamming and NO issues. It's important to remember to stay next to the printer to pull the sheets out of the storage tray as the stack grows -- the storage tray doesn't hold very much -- but it's not a big deal when you consider the speed and reliability (and the compact size) of this printer. Very, very pleased with my purchase.

The machine itself is very well made & works well, but the software & drivers are a headache. Even with firewalls turned off every PC I install the software on results in a different experience. One main problem is if one installs all the software that's afforded to the products it will cause conflicts. My best solution was to only install Control Center & not install the other apps. Other then that it's a great product & value.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. Brother has been a trusted brand in my business, as I use a Brother sewing machine as well. Like my sewing machine, I experienced the quality, efficiency, and ease-of-use in this All-In-One Laser Printer.I like that the packaging was mostly earth-friendly, with recyclable cardboard, and recyclable plastic.The styrofoam isn`t eco-friendly, but, it secured the printer very well for shipment. The ease of unpacking and setting-up was very user-friendly. The only problem I had was getting the Wifi connected, but I eventually solved it. Once that was set-up, I was impressed by how easy it was to print from my phone and computer, throughout the house.My favorite feature on this printer is that I will spend less money on toner than I would on ink by using my inkjet printer. This is my first laser printer, and I must say I prefer it to inkjet printers now. The printer is fairly compact in size considering how much it can do. I have a small online business, so I primarily use my printer for printing shipping labels. I mostly print black ink, so the fact that it doesn`t print color was not a set-back for me. I can always plug-in my inkjet printer for the occasional need of color ink. I printed paper patterns for cut-and-sew projects on the laser printer, and I was happy with the results. I`ve enjoyed using the scanner for my business, especially for scanning in my screen print designs to print on transparency paper. I had to trouble-shoot with using transparency paper, but eventually worked out the problems. I also could see the quality on transparency paper was higher than when I print on transparency paper on my inkjet printer. I would recommend reading the detailed manual for specialty printing, as the quick-start guide doesn`t instruct how to do so. I don`t have a big need for the fax feature, but on the occasion I do send faxes, it will be more convenient than going to the library. My overall impression is that this printer is not only high-quality and efficient, but it is, most of all, versatile. This printer can meet a variety of business printing needs, from printing shipping labels, business labels, printing high-efficiency paperwork/documents, to scanning and printing on various types of paper. I look forward to continued use of this printer for my own business printing needs, and I would recommend this laser printer to other small businesses as well.
