Best Brother Printer to date.
Brother printers have been great for me. Each lasts around 9 yrs before I upgrade. This one is fantastic as it connects to my network wirelessly. Works with both my Windows and Linux machine to print wirelessly. This one does fax, copy, print, scan as I need all 4 functions for my home office. I love that I can scan from my computer (do have to put item on printer to scan) directly to pdf. Basically it's better than my old one, and now is slightly cheaper than 9 yrs ago !! I set it up on Windows using the software included. For Linux I downloaded the driver from the Brother site. It uses normal printer paper. Comes with a starter drum of laser powdered ink. Does not include a printer cable but I connected to wireless network and am happy to not use my old printer cable and print server.

    Perfect Printer
    The price was perfect after so many past years of expensive printers. Brother printers have been my go-to for a long time and this one worked perfectly for our group. We processed the whole rodeo weekend without any hiccups, and the printer will accept after-market toners to help keep the operating costs low. Having a printer with a small footprint, and still have scan/copy features is great!

    Good purchase. Consumables readily available.
    I ordered this particular model because it could be delivered from store. This is a good general purpose printer with scanner.. I had to use a printer cable to get it properly synced on my network not sure why.. so don't expect it to easily set up right out of the box I have decades of experience with computer hardware and software and it was unpleasant to say the least to get this set up. originally I ordered a color laser version and the store did not deliver it (and basically argued that it had been delivered). medium to light office duty, easily moved if necessary.

    Such an upgrade
    I'm so glad I finally upgraded from an inkjet printer!! The consistency %26 speed at which this prints is great. The ink is also affordable and I don't have to replace it as often. It took me about 20 minutes to setup which included me trying to figure out my Wi-Fi password. I haven't had any issues after several months of use and I'd highly recommend it.

    Great job!
    I was completely satisfied with the price, time and cost of delivery (free of charge) and the deadline for completing the order. All three parameters are better than other sellers, including Amazon. Congratulations, it's a success! I will be happy to continue doing business with you.

    Great printer!!
    It's better than the other model I got. I can actually copy multiple pages at once. It's fast and has everything on it. Even a fax option, although I'll use it maybe once a year. Great buy!

    Good value and highly functional
    Does what it says on the brochure. And the easiest bit has been the connectivity (wireless) with tablets and laptops. It has been a breeze. It is as good quality buy for the price.

    Fast and versatile printer that won’t break the bank. Even though I’ll never need the Fax I like the scanning especially scan to computer. Highly recommend this printer for home use.

    Great printer
    I love this printer. It actually takes up less space then the inkjet printer I am replacing because it is higher but not as wide. It is rather intuitive to use, although I am just getting started. I leave it in sleep mode, and it wakes up quickly to do the job. I also like the app that allows me to print from my phone. I priced all-in-ones before buying this one, and this printer is a bargain compared to many I looked at.

    Excellent Monochrome LaserJet
    I no longer need a color printer because my kids are grown. My old multi-function printer had nothing but problems related to ink consumption and usage. I was spending more time on printer issues than time actually using the printer for what it's intended. Therefore, I was looking for an inexpensive monochrome LaserJet multi-function printer that would perform well in my home environment. I've only had this printer a short time, but so far it is exactly what I was looking for. It functions excellently with superior results. I highly recommend it.

    A Wonderful Printer
    I've owned many printers over the years. Some were great. Others not so much. This printer was everything it promised to be. It takes a little know-how and patience to set up (downloading the software and firmware updates is critical). It's easy to use for scanning, printing, and copying. Love it!

    Brother all in one laser printer
    Great printer. Dependable and quiet. Easy to set up except for the wireless. Directions were not accurate to set up wireless and we had to play around trying different things to finally get that. Great price on this machine. MFC-L2690DW. Arrived next day via Walmart.

    Success, so far.
    Everything seems to work so far. Printing from Mac, AirPrint to print from iPhone works as well. Tested scanning - everything as expected. Delivery from Walmart very fast, price good. Will see how long will this be in service. I used previous Brother printer for 12 years, it still technically works (with Windows) but it lacks Mac support.

    Not a good product for scanning
    I bought this printer because my HP inkjet quit working after only a few years. And as typical of these companies nowadays, they won't stand behind their product so I had to look for something new. I also got tired of the constant purchasing of ink cartridges and decided to try a laser all in one. This Brother printer had some good reviews and some bad, as they all do. I too am experiencing the paper jams and grabbing several pages in the document feeder when scanning. You literally have to look afterwards and compare that all pages have been scanned. You are not able to see the pages as they scan or see how many pages have scanned as I did on my HP until at the end when you hit save. And then it's too late to add another page if need be. You are not able to scan front and back, even manually like I did on the HP which is a pain if you have several pages. It will scan one page at a time and thus not in the correct order. Contacted Brother and they were clueless on helping solve the problem. I do not like how the system saves documents. It puts numbers after the label name. You have to go back to the folder and delete that once saved. It was a bear to set up as well. Not user friendly at all and I'm pretty tech savy. The main reason I bought this printer was because of the high marks for the scanner. They lied. The only good thing about the printer is when it prints. Very fast and clear copies. I was going to return it, however, after looking at other printers, everything is so high right now because of the supply chain issue everyone is facing and most of them are Brother all-in-ones. We are very limited on options so I may keep it for the printer piece and buy a separate scanner once these prices some back to normal. I would not recommend this product if you want an all-in-one that will do everything as it does not perform as it should. If anyone has a suggestion on another product that performs accordingly and is affordable, please respond to this post. Thank you.

    Great all in one at a good price.
    This was easy to setup and prints great (clean and dark). The copy function worked well. Did not use the fax (or set it up) also have not yet let used the scanning function. Gave four stars (and not five) because it is louder than any other printer I have used personally or in an office. The company should really address the noise issue.

    Great printer, fantastic price!
    Nice printer for the price! I bought this for my mom as she is an iPad only user without a computer. This printer can be fully setup and used from a phone/tablet!! Scan to iOS is slick, and the printer is native AirPrint. Very happy with how easy it is to use, setup, and walk my mom through over the phone.
