Brother HL-5240 Laser Printer Review Summary

Do you want laser printer technology in your home office? If so, the Brother HL-5240 Laser Printer could be the printer for you. This printer offers the speed of a laser printer and reviewers like not only the speed, but also the ease of setup and the trouble- free operation. The Brother HL-5240 Laser Printer receives some good words from those who have used it, including “Affordable Laser Printer” and “Great and Clear.” But there are those who find this laser printer dissatisfying, like one reviewer who says he was “Dissapointed” after a very short period of use, due to problems with printing specific items, other than plain, 8.5 by 11 inch paper. Add everything together, however, and this Brother printer still ranks as a good Printer with positive qualities that outweigh the negative.

i bought this Brothers HL 5240 printer to print certain size envelopes. needless to say i am having a hard time get it to print correctly on the envelopes from a word document. the salesman/tech and i tried them out in the store and it printed perfectly, but when i got it home disaster occurred. i have changed font size, recreated the document and stil not the results i need. it is a fine printer if you are just printing regular documents.

I bought this printer off Newegg for a great price (Maybe $80? Plus free shipping?), and really didn't expect too much. However, it was easy to set up, and really hasn't given us any trouble. Its a good quality laser printer--fast and quiet, and we have saved so much on ink since we got rid of our old ink jet!!
