Pros & Cons
Pros
Printer can either be connected via usb cable or through a wi-fi network. I am kind of tech challenged, so i had a little bit of trouble connecting it via wi-fi, but once i realized i had to set it up on the printer, it went smoothly and quickly. Fina... Read More
The printer has one paper tray that accepts up to legal size paper. The documents it produces are crisp and clear whether in color or black and white. The only con is that you can only use regular bond paper in the tray.
It's not small but the footprint is acceptable. It also works fine for copying. The duplex printing feature is an added bonus, helping me save paper and contribute to a greener environment.
Brother hl-l3290cdw is my first led printer. The compact design allows it to fit seamlessly into my workspace without consuming too much space. Its features, performance, and ease of use make it a must-have for any home or office workspace.
Cons
Reviewer had a paper jam issue in february. It prints fine when it works. Marginal print quality. Cannot get scanner to work at all.
Problem is not wifi, it's brother's software. Waited on hold for an hour and a half and then was disconnected. Will not keep settings. Constantly goes offline and gets stuck in sleep mode.
This printer weighs some 50 pounds. Only gets around a tenth of what is promised on the packaging.
The toner cartridges in my brother printer stopped working. There is some weird counter function that interacts with a chip on the toner cartridge that is super finicky. Genuine toner (ink) cartridges also never come close to the listed yield.
Highlights
Quality
The print quality is great and i look forward to many more years of use.
The printing quality is beyond great i’m very pleased let me tell you the color pops , i love it.
We purchased this printer to replace our brother all-in-one inkjet printer that after several years of use has been clogging/drying out.
This printer has 95% of the features that i was looking for, and the only improvement that i'd request would be to add an ethernet port.

You don't have to buy the $250 cartridges labeled "brother".
Shipping
The box arrived on its side, instead of right-side up, as the amazon delivery driver was not gentle in putting it on the porch.
Packaging/appearance
It was very well packed and the instructions for setting it up, activating wifi and installing the software were clear and easy.
You don't have to try to figure out how the envelope should go into the printer, and then figure out how word (or whatever you'... Read More
Competitiveness
This was the one that best fit my budget, and so i chose to take the leap from hp to brother.
Finally, you give up and have to buy another printer and all the expensive ink that you bought ahead of time does not fit in yo... Read More
The color printing quality is good as the color printing from fedex and ups.
I have had problems with h-p ( wifi connections) and epson printers ( print head clogging).
