I'm really disappointed. Do not buy!
I have tried for months to print mixed paper size documents with not success. I have contacted brother repeatedly and I just spent 1 hour just today. We tried everything and then I was told that there was nothing else that they could do and referred me to contact adobe. I plan to sell this machine and buy another printer from a different brand.

    Brother HL-5200DW
    The printer is fast and connects easily but the copies are blackened with toner. I've blown off the excess several times but I the original toner cartridge in it and its bad. I have purchased 9 or 10 printers and fax machines from Brothers and they are normally good. This one is not. This is the third HL-5200 I bought in the last 12 months or so and I would not suggest any purchase this printer.

    Keeps pausing between pages during a print job.
    When printing several pages in a document, the printer pauses after printing 3-4 pages before continuing. I also have to unplug it to reboot it several times during a day when printing a lot of documents. Causes a huge waste of time.

    Unreliable transition from letter to legal
    Worked great for about a month. It started jamming when transitioning from one size paper to the other. My job requires me to print document packages of 100-200 pages, with both letter and legal. When I print from the road it is especially frustrating to stop at my office to pick up documents to find a paper jam. I'm happy with the quality, however, it it doesn't consistently perform it's very purpose, it's not worthy of anything more than 2 stars.

    Good printer, good price.
    It takes a bit to warm up but then it will print fast. Have only been using a month and it have lost connection a couple times. Great when it warms up.

    Bad experience so far
    It works great when it works. Sometimes it prints garbage for the first print job wasting a lot of paper. Prints great when the same job is resubmitted. Does not print different paper sizes. I have a notary business and need to print both legal and letter size for some reason it won't print the different paper sizes. I have reached to support several time without success. I want to return it.

    Quick printing
    I bought this because my Lexmark cartridge costs as much as this printer. Excellent printer if you do not need color . Also this prints 40 ppm. Highly recommend

    Fast and reliable
    I use this in a small business capacity and it's working very well. I'm not tech savvy so my IT guy set it up for me. It's fast, easy to use checks or letterhead without using the paper tray and its very convenient to print directly from my phone. I would definitely recommend this printer. Only suggestion I would make for an improved design is to make the control panel adjustable. The printer is tall, sits on my desk and I can't read the control panel without standing up.

    Very good printer
    Normally I purchase HP printers for my small home business but decided to try Brother on the recommendation from a Staples employee. I must say that I am totally blown away by this printer. I was looking for a printer to make church offering envelopes and I was able to print a box of 500 envelopes in about 30 minutes. With my HP it would take me a couple of hours. That sold me!! The only complaint I have is that the tray would only hold about 10 envelopes at one time so I had to constantly load them. That was not a problem though seeing how fast they printed once loaded. I am a satisfied customer and when I need to purchase another color laser printer, I will definitely try a Brother first.

    Super fast, just not as pristine as a HP
    Love the printer, just don't buy it if you are looking for ultra-professional documents. I am a full time student, and this is more than good for the papers I have to turn in. I use this a lot in my professional job as well, with no complaint. Also, Walmart made this purchase awesome!
