Brother Color Laser Printer with Wireless Printing Fast 19 PPM Output, Duplex Feature, Mobile Device Compatible, 250-Sheet Paper Tray for Professional Home Office Printing… by Brother

Love my new printer! It was pretty easy to set up and works great remotely from around the house. The ink quality is good. It’s the perfect color printer for a home business! It’s a little bulky but it’s easy to use!

This Brother Color Laser Printer is HEAVY (It says so in BIG LETTERS right on the box!) not so much you can’t lift it, but dropping it would be a DISASTER. It might weigh 50 lbs, so you might want some help moving it around. The (included and already installed) BK C M Y toners are High-Yield, good for thousands of prints, and the included printed setup directions easy with clear diagrams on what to open, take out, and to remove shipping tags and plastic protectors. So far though, turning the printer on and pushing the right buttons for the prompts on the LED display is mysterious. (There’s a handbook for this printer I’ll have to download!)
I didn’t do enough research and the printer will ONLY work with Windows 10 & 11 32&64 bit, Mac OS and Linux, so my W7pro computer “To be printed files” are being downloaded to a nice new Windows 10 pro i7 with massive storage and RAM before I can do any printing. Getting the installation and setup programs is easy, (setup.brother.com) but none of that information is useful without at least a Windows 10 system that’s compatible with the drivers. I got this printer because an ink-jet just doesn’t have the quality for a long-lasting print, no matter what kind of paper it’s printed on. A laser print on good paper will last for hundreds of years. That’s value.
A good reason for my purposes, but I also like the USB-connected printing capability (which it has) and don’t like WiFi for the security concerns.
(Two Days later) On the Windows 10 pro computer the Brother Color Laser installation was over and done with quickly. I had downloaded the “full” install version that includes the driver. The installation gave me the option of USB or WiFi and after that it was done.
I just printed a photograph in rich darks and contrasting light tones from the open document in Photoshop 9. There was NO problem in recognizing the printer. The print only took about 10 seconds and came out beautifully, like the picture I took with amazing, perfect, details and exactly delicate colors and contrast. I had just resized it from 28 x 22 @ 180 to 10.5 x 8 @180 for normal A4 paper and printed, just to see what it would do. It prints Art!
I thought this would be a good idea, but it’s even better than I thought.

The Brother HL-L3220CDW Wireless Compact Digital Colour Printer is an absolute game-changer! From the moment I set it up, I was blown away by its performance and features. The laser-quality output delivers crisp and vibrant color prints every time, making my documents and presentations stand out with professional-grade quality.
One of the standout features is its wireless connectivity, which allows me to print effortlessly from my mobile devices. Whether I’m at home, in the office, or on the go, I can easily send print jobs directly to the printer without any hassle. The duplex printing capability is also a game-changer, helping me save time and paper by automatically printing on both sides of the page.
Another feature that I love is the Brother iPrint&Scan app, which allows me to print and scan documents directly from my smartphone or tablet. It’s incredibly convenient and adds an extra layer of versatility to an already impressive printer.
Overall, the Brother HL-L3220CDW is hands down the best printer I’ve ever owned. Its combination of high-quality output, wireless connectivity, and user-friendly design make it a must-have for anyone in need of a reliable and efficient color printer. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their printing experience to the next level.

This printer came as factory refurbished, which is actually fine with me given the good price, but it wasn’t listed anywhere in the details or description. According to the printer settings it had only printed about 55 pages, and also looks brand new.

This printer is truly plug and play. It took me less than a 1/2 hr to print a photo from my phone (which I’ve never done before).

Installation and setup: this printer is heavy. The hardest part was getting the thing out of the box. It only had the printer itself and the power cord. If you are planning on connecting it directly to your computer, you will need to buy the cable separately. You have to take off all the blue tape and the orange protective bits, put the cartridges back in, plug it in, load paper, and then connect it to your network. It was a little tedious to use the up and down arrows to key in the network key, but it’s a one-time thing.

I’ve previously only had inkjet printers, so I don’t know how it compares to other laser printers, but I’m very happy with the quality of the images. To really put it through its paces, I ran some different types of paper through it and the printing was spot on for almost all of them. I ran some labels through and it had some issues feeding some of the pages, but it did way better than any other personal printer that I’ve had. I kind of anticipated issues because the printer didn’t have a label option for paper type.

All in all, I’m exceptionally pleased with this and am super grateful to have quick, reliable, quality printing.
