I have been very happy with my purchase of the "brother" printer. It is easy to operate, prints very well, and is a eye pleasing piece of equipment. What is else is there to say except the price was reasonable, its works very well, good looking, and I have not had any problems with it. I recommend it wholeheartedly without reservations.

Great Black and White Printer

The brother HL2405W is a great printer if you only require black and white prints, its simple to use for anyone and gives business style tools that are beneficial to everyone.
The printer is easy to set up and comes with everything you would need to get it going wirelessly, it does not come with the usb wire for hard wire connection. The brother is a small printer which doesn’t take up much space and can hold 250 so you’re not constantly refilling. The prints come out fast and clear and can do up to 30 pages a minute.
Brother makes it easy to set up printer with a QR code and directs you to download the app if you choose to set up via phone/tablet. If you choose to set up manually the instructions are easy enough for anyone.
The printer can be accessed by your web browser or the app, the printer has multiple settings for business users which I would highly advise all homeowners to use. Once on the network anyone can print to it. The printer also allows you to print while away from home, you do have enable online functions, which than provides you with an email address where you can send your prints. When emailing you can send files (word/excel/pictures) and they print within 5 to 10 seconds of emailing. You can also restrict who is able to send prints to the email, this is great to avoid spam emails being printed. The app also allows you to access files in other apps (google drive) which is a nice touch.
The Brother HL-L2405W makes IT simple , all the function are easy to understand and use for everyone. Everything is easily and clearly laid out so you don’t need a IT professional to understand the printer and its functions. The online portal shows you all the necessary data (total prints/errors/ink amount) and if any maintenance is needed. Brother also provides brother refresh service which automatically sends you out a cartridge of ink so you never have to worry about running out.
Over all the printer is just about perfect, its easy to use and maintain while giving you access to detailed information. I only have two complaints about the brother and that is the small screen on the printer is hard to read because it has no back lighting, now you can increase the contrast which helps a bit. The second being even after logging into the app/browser (with password) for you to access the online function you still have to approve it from the printer itself. While the redundancy is a safe guard it’s a safe guard at the cost of efficiency. Besides these 2 small issues I would highly recommend it to all home owners and small businesses.

My Brother HL-L2405W printer works perfectly and completely meets my expectations. It’s fast, reliable, and easy to use. The best part so far is the Brother Refresh toner replacement program — it makes it super convenient to keep the printer ready without worrying about running out of toner.

Bye Bye bubble jet printer!
Finally I have a laser printer that the entire family can print on without any wires (if you do a wired connection don’t forget to pickup a usb cable because this doesn’t come with one).
I unboxed and setup the printer manually. Entered my SSID and password and I was ready to print.
On my windows 11 pro desktop the printer was found and added automatically. Printed wirelessly too (printer setup in another room).
Test printed from my iphone without any issues.
I am not using the brother mobile application.
Things I like:
-does not make a lot of noise
-goes into sleep mode to save energy
-is very small and doesn’t take up a lot of space
-connected to my 5ghz band
-print speed is good
-prints clear
Things not so good:
-The LCD screen doesn’t appear to be backlit
-no duplex
-boring grey color doesn’t have RGB :)
Packaging: The box is about 2x the size of the actual printer. They package it with styrofoam instead of recycled cardboard. Not very sustainable packaging.
I am looking forward to using it without the ink (i know it is toner) drying out like my old bubble jet that printed $ for canon.

I bought this laser printer because I was tired of the expense for ink on the inkjet. I am pleased with my purchase - it was easy to set-up - but I do not use the wi-fi connection because our internet is sporadic. I connected the printer directly to the computer with a printer cord. The pages print quickly and look great. I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought this for basic printing. If you need black and white document printing it any other, then this is it. It works great with wifi. My laptop and phone work no problem. And it's quick. Really fast. For basic print only needs, I highly recommend this one.

Needed a printer to replace an older one. Decided to keep it simple since 99% of the time we just need to print in black and white. Easy setup and have had no problems. Print quality is more than good enough for what we need it for, and no more dealing with buying or refilling ink cartridges.

I maintain an elderly widow's computer in Springfield, MO. For several years, she had an Epson inkjet printer that used puncture-style ink cartridges. She seldom printed anything, and the day finally came where the black ink dried up inside the chamber of the permanent print head.
She practically never printed in color, if she used the printer at all. After she learned the danger of neglected printers with non-integrated cartridges, I talked her into getting a simple laser printer. The least expensive unit available was a familiar Brother B&W laser printer. I bought it, hooked it up, and voila!
Now, she doesn't have to buy four new ink cartridges every time she wants to use the printer, after probably printing less than 20 pages (and all in B&W). I've been using Brother laser printers for at least a decade. I've had mine at home for over five years, if not close to 10. I believe I've replaced the toner cartridge once. Still works.
P.S.: the printer may be a bit confusing for average users. It often has to be awakened from "deep sleep" before you can print. Also, if you use WiFi, you may have to reconnect the printer to the network after a blackout. If you print from multiple devices, and are a non-technical user, you might want to get a model that supports Ethernet, which this one doesn't. You could designate a computer as a print server and connect the printer via USB, but it'd be easier to just get a different model. ;)

I purchased this for my small business as a second printer since we do alot of printing, I own the bigger model HL L6300DSW with legal and letter size so I thought this one would be perfect. Its smaller and great size for my second printer. I really like it the printing is fast, clean and clear.

I needed a second printer for my home, and chose to buy the Brother HL-L2405W, based on previous experience with owning a Brother printer HL-L2440DW for over 5 years, which is still working fine! The printer is affordable and versatile. I can send print command from my iPhone and notebook. It has a small footprint hence suitable for small spaces. Brother also provides great backup and services including regular updates, This printer is highly recommended, and you can order from Best Buy who will deliver to your home free of charge.

This is a fantastic value for a printer. If you are in business, stop wasting money on inkjets for colors you don't need and cartridges that dry out or go empty too fast. This printer does one thing well: it prints beautifully and quickly in black. If you print in mostly black, get this and save yourself tons of money.
I have an earlier model that was *given* to me 15 years ago because it needed a new drum. I reset the drum counter, used it until it was just too rough to use, then replaced it, and have put 3-4 toners in it in that amount of time (I don't print a lot). The beautiful thing is that this thing can sit on a shelf for a year until I need it, and when I plug it in, it turns on, I print, and it works. Try that with an inkjet and you'll be spending $80 on cartridges every time. No thanks.

This is a great laser printer, and it works great; however, it was difficult to set up. Do NOT use the mobile connect app that is provided with the set-up paperwork. I strongly suggest downloading the driver from the Brother website, and be sure to use the same Wi-Fi address on your laptop and phone. Once you do this, it was a breeze, and it works great! Definitely worth the effort!

I did mind my previous printer
Wasting all my time
Even if I was standing oh so near to it
I would kinda lose my mind, trying to get it to work.
But this Brother printer works great, easy setup easy to use. It is just what I needed.
