Customer Ratings & Reviews

Brother Printers are my Go To for printers now, and have been for a few years. I like the simplicity of using them, getting them setup and their fair prices for ink. This printer is another example of why I keep buying them. Short to the Point Pros Incredible Print Speed Simple Setup Touchscreen and Sound Mobile App Features Copier/Scanner Cons Mobile App Issues Semi Loud Printing Print Quality As stated in the title, if you work in an office building with one of those big printers that looks like it cost as much as a car, this is a more compact version of that. It prints and copies as an industrial speed which is what I think most people looking at this printer would want. I imagine this thing can go through an entire tray of printer paper faster than you could pour a cup of coffee, its that fast. That said, I wish the paper tray was a little bigger so that it could hold a full reem of paper. The print quality of those speedy prints does show though. There are clear lines in heavily shaded areas and thats exaggerated if you're using lighter weight paper. The copy quality that you get out of this is pretty good, in line with most other printers I have used. I haven't had a chance to scan anything with it yet, but the option is there and it has a nice size scan bed. Its not going to match the size of those you'd find in an industrial copier, but it does support color. I generally don't like the mobile apps for printers, but this one wasn't so bad. In the initial setup using the mobile app it threw a few errors, wouldn't detect the printer automatically and kept giving me pop ups/ads for toner renewal services and the like, but once I got past all that it was nice to use. The app gives you a few nice abilities that you normally don't have. With it I can scan and immediately print out the document that I just scanned, not needing to actually touch the printer. It also gives you a built in editor for printing on the go. So you can crop/resize images to send directly to your printer. It also offers remote printing so that if you're not in the house with the printer you can send something directly to it. I haven't tried it yet, but it has reminded me on a few occasions that the option exists. The only other issue was how loud it was when printing. I didn't measure the sound myself, but according to specification its expected to print at 49db at max speed. Given how fast it is, its not so bad. The printer does have a quiet mode which I haven't used yet (printer is in another room away from me so I don't hear it normally), but that should bring the sound down to more reasonable levels. I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression, its not terribly loud or unbearable, its just louder than some other printers simply as a by product of being really fast. Overall I'm very happy with this printer and look forward to using it for the foreseeable future.

I've had Brother laser printers for as long as I can remember and they are the only printers I recommend (or buy) for friends and family. I've never been let down by them yet and the new MFC-L2900DW (that's a mouthful) is no different. Previously I had the much larger MFC-8810DW and it has been my workhorse, handling the start-up and daily operations of a non-profit as well as handling the day-to-day needs of our family. Now that I am no longer running the non-profit from my home and I'm downsizing the work part of my home office, I thought I would go for a more petite and printer with whatever improvements Brother has made over the last several years on board. I wish I could think of enough stuff to laud the Brother MFC-L2900DW to fill a huge review, but there were really only two things I really was hoping for from this printer and that was speed and less power draw, and it delivers that in spades! Speed: Just going off of the specs between the two printers, I would not expect there to be THAT much of difference between the two but from hitting the print button to the warm page being in my grubby little hands is almost instantaneous. I think the specs are only referring to the time from spool-up to delivery but in the real world, there is a massive decrease in the communication and processing time with this printer. Whether I'm printing from my desktop or from an iPad, there is no 'thinking' being done by the printer, it just goes. Communication protocols have obviously been improved and the doubling of the operating memory to 256mb obviously helps as well. Power: My older Brother printer would sometime trip the circuit breaker when firing up the turbo-lasers to destroy Alderaan, sorry, I mean get ready to print my report, but this new fully functional battlestation can do it without even making the lights flicker. Looking at the specs again, it would seem to be about a 27-30% drop in the power draw across all print modes, which is pretty significant when the 8810 would pull 1200 watts at peak! My house is pretty new and has a robust electrical system installed but it would struggle with that if I had too much else running on the office circuit. All-in-all, I'm super happy with the move to the MFC-L2900DW. The only thing I really 'lost' was some capacity in the manual feed tray, but I gained so much more elsewhere in a compact little printing beast. If you want an all-in-one laser printer for your home or business, you can not go wrong with the 2900.

Great printer for small office or home use. Print quality is perfect, so clear and sharp and I can honestly say it's the best I have ever owned. This is a multifunction device for printing, copying, scanning and fax and I use the first 3 but I do not have fax. Printer has one tray of 250 pages capacity and a 50 pages automatic feeder. Printing capacity is 36 pages per minute, and it does have single pass duplex scan. My favorite options are scanning to email and printing from mobile devices such as phone or tablet, without any applications, you can install a brother mobile connect but it’s not required in order to print for the phone. Printer has both internet connections wireless and Ethernet cable plus usb port to connect to your computer. Device is easy to set up and operate by a small color touch screen which I believe it’s about 3,5 inch big. Since this is a laser printer one cartridge will surely give you between 2000 and 3000 printed pages before you need to buy a new one. These brother devices have lots of other options through web interface such as address book management, monthly reports, email notification in case of jammed paper etc. Device is pretty small in size but with nice and powerfull options and printing quality. I am extremely satisfied with it.

The brother MFC-L2900DW laser printer has a small footprint and looks good on the desk. The printer is lightweight and easy to remove from the box. After I removed it from the box, I removed all the tape which didn't take too long. I inserted the starter cartridge, powered it on, and connected it to my wireless network. Connecting it to my wireless network was simple and straightforward. Brother has made it very simple to do this through the printer’s touch screen. The touchscreen is bright and easy to read. Also, it is the most responsive menu system that I’ve seen in a printer. Thumbs up to Brother for not skimping on this as most printers have very slow to respond touch screens. For the initial setup, I downloaded Brother’s software and installed it on my Windows 11 desktop. The software install is very straightforward. It only took just a few minutes. I was up and running within a few minutes of removing it from the box. It comes with a starter cartridge which is easy to install. The standard cartridge has a yield of 3,000 pages, and also the drum has a yield of 15,000 pages. That’s a good yield compared to many that only have 2,500 page yields. After setting up the printer, the first print test page was out in two to three seconds. This didn't change with subsequent document printing. When the printer was in Standby, the time it took to power up and print out the first page of each document was the same, about two to three seconds to begin printing the document from standby. Duplex printing is reasonable. Of the duplex printers I’ve used, the MFC-2900DW is by far the fastest. The print quality from this printer is really good. The printer does a good job at making the toner adhere to the paper properly. Standard text looks really sharp and is of high quality. When checking out the copy feature, I printed out a document and made a copy of it. I compared the copy to the original print out. When comparing the two I noticed that the text of the copy looked nearly identical to the text on the original print out. Where I saw a noticeable difference was where it had some trouble with copying some lines that were on the original page. Lines that were on the copy were lighter than on the original printout. In addition, the bold text wasn’t as dark as the original. This is something that Brother could address with a firmware update, but as it stands, I can see a difference between the original printout and the copy I made of that. There are many features that it has to help with scanning to many formats such as PDF, MS Word, PowerPoint, etc. It also has scan-to-email, Google Drive, Dropbox, FTP server, etc. lt also has cloud secure print and print from email. For faxes, it has fax forward to email and cloud. This is something I have only seen in large expensive printers seen in corporate offices. People like me who work from home or someone needing a printer for their small business will appreciate these features. So far I've been really happy with the Brother MFC-L2900DW. The print quality, as well as the features of this printer has been really good especially from a printer at this price point. I really like the small footprint and how it powers up from Standby and prints out the first page quickly. Yield from a standard cartridge plus the yield of the drum makes this a good option for someone looking for a small printer for the home or a small office. I imagine it's going to appeal to a lot of people who are working from home and those who need advanced features to support a small office or small business.

This Brother Laser printer definitely reflects “business” with its design as it they continue to keep a standard look amongst their line of printers. The packaging it comes in is a little excessive and makes the unit appear larger than it really is. There was a high amount of foam used to protect the device, but in today’s “GREENER” society, screams for a recycling nightmare. Getting past the packaging, you can be up and running in about 10 minutes. After removing all of the blue tape found, power on the device and follow the prompts and/or the quick setup sheet to get the printer up and running. Go to the noted website to obtain the brother driver install software. In my case, it sent me to the MacOS App Store for the remaining available software during my install and setup. The power cord is a nice length and does give you the option of placing the printer a bit further from the outlet if needed. Once the printer is setup and has an internet connection, there will be a firmware upgrade right of the box for install. This is why the time is around 10 minutes, pending your internet connection to pull the update. While this is being done, it is recommended to install the “Brother Mobile Connect App” on your mobile device(s). The touch screen is large enough to navigate and select various options at 3.5 inches. Making it easy to customize the main printer settings, available application options from cloud services, mobile printing, direct printing, etc. The printer does come with a drum/toner assembly that will be replaced each time toner is depleted. During your setup and install, there will be notices at various times to sign up for Brother’s “Refresh, Easy Print” solution refills. The intent is to ensure you have a toner assembly kit readily available on-time as your small business or home office need arises. Prints. Prints are only in black and white, as there is no color option. The paper tray can hold half a ream of paper (1 Ream=500 sheets). This does leave you with having to find a place to temporarily store the remaining 250 sheets (stashed behind, next to, or in a drawer). Documents printed from your system, mobile device, virtual location printing through cloud services arrive and print quickly. The prints are clean, crisp, while not leaving any heavy curl to pages or wave looks to the pages. It can print duplex and single-sided, may also be setup as a default directly through the printer or through your printer’s admin site…you will need a password. Wait what’s the default password? It can be easily found on the back of the printer prior to placement (PRIOR TO PLACEMENT, snap a quick photo) on the Printer’s Serial Sticker noting “Pwd” followed by your printer’s default password. This Brother printer is smart that once you have it online, you’re prompted to change the default admin password by finding it on the sticker and location of the sticker. In case you like moving printers more often than needed. Scans. Scanning is quick, clean, and results will vary depending on the status of the document you are trying to scan. Thankfully, every document scan test passed very nicely and even with some adjusting was able to remove excess crinkles during my crinkle scan test. Scans can be initiated on your local devices or directly at the printer and sent to various cloud services. Integration is clean is easy to setup. It does include scan and email, scan-to-email. Fax. There is the option to drop a connection into the printer directly for Fax options. Local Network/Internet Connection/Wireless. You are actually presented with a few options. There is a network interface to connect it directly to your network via LAN connection. The wireless options presented provide current security and Wi-Fi options to the key of your network’s capabilities. If a wireless or ethernet connection is not suitable, there is the direct connection vis USB to the printer. Brother Mobile Connect App. This app enables you to accomplish everything noted above from any of your mobile devices. The app is well organized and has a nice easy to use layout that has taken a lot of updates and work towards this over time. You can even order toner through the app.

The Brother MFC-L2900DW is a versatile and efficient monochrome laser printer and it is perfect for our small office and home. It has many features we like so let me try to keep it short while I further explain. This printer has a compact and sturdy design, so it is perfect for small spaces. Its sturdy build guarantees durability, while the control panel LCD screen provides easy navigation and operation. This printer offers impressive print speeds of up to 36 pages per minute (ppm), so it is quick, efficient and quiet. The print quality is sharp and clear, with great resolution, and it works great with documents with a lot of text on them. It is easy to connect in different ways including USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi and the wireless setup is very easy all I needed was the Wi-Fi password to link it and using the Brother application on my cell I was able to setup. It does seamless printing from various devices, including smartphones and tablets, via Brother's Mobile Connect App. This all-in-one device includes printing, scanning, copying, and faxing functionalities. The automatic document feeder is fast and since it has single pass duplex copy and scan it does just that, with one pass it copies and scans both sides, making it very efficient. The printer comes with a 250-sheet capacity paper tray so we do not need to refill the tray often. The MFC-L2900DW is designed with cost efficiency in mind. It uses high-yield toner cartridges, which can significantly lower the cost per page. Additionally, the printer's energy saving features contributes to reduced operational costs. And since our office prints a lot of documents and most are black and white this printer is the best choice for our small office because it is not only reliable and affordable to print, it also copies, scans and faxes. It is fast with multi page copy, scan, and fax jobs and we really like that we can print from and scan to different cloud based apps using the touchscreen. The printer has an advanced security feature to keep my network safe too. The Brother application on our computers is useful to do everything it even sends me to pages to help me out on how to do certain things such as how to scan. I can do most things from my computer without getting off my chair. I can also purchase supplies, photo print and have access to other tools. Overall the printer does a great job, it is reliable and consistent. It is fast and gives high quality prints and best of all it is multifunction in case we want to print, scan, copy or fax. We are enjoying the wireless connectivity so we can move the printer around without needing to connect it via Ethernet or a USB cable yet they are available too. Using Brothers high yield toner is also the way to go, we do not

As an owner of a small business it is vital that my printer work flawlessly all the time. I can’t afford to spend my time working on the printer. I had been using another brand of printer and spending far too much time working on it. I decided to try the BrotherMFC-L2900DW Monochrome Laser All-in-One. I love this printer. It is the first laser printer that I have owned. It uses toner instead of ink cartridges. Although it is just a black/white printer I find that I don’t really need color. The paper tray holds 250 sheets of paper and I find that to be the perfect number for my needs. I love the automatic document feeder. I was a bit concerned with the size of this printer because it is a bit larger so it takes up more space than my other one. I was always pulling out the other printer to reset it as it would not stay connected to my WIFI. So far This printer stays connected to my WIFI so there is no need to pull it out to reset it. I also love the 3.5 Color Touchscreen. It lights up and is easy to read. It is angled in a stationary position and that concerned me as my other printer had a screen that moved positions. However this one is easier for me to read and I do not need to reposition it. Brother thought of all my needs. The toner cartridge that comes in the package with the printer is high yield black so it prints up to 3,000 copies. I will not need to change it as often as I was changing the ink in my other printer. This printer prints so fast and is clean on the paper. I have no complaints at all! I love it. Brother has won my loyalty in small business printers. It scans seamlessly to my Laptop, MAC, iPad Pro and iPhone.

With decades of personal Brother printer experience, I was particularly excited to check out this new model, MFC-L2900DW Wireless Black-and-White All-In-One Laser Printer and I was not disappointed in any way. Weighing 27lbs, and just 12.5” tall, 16.6” wide and about 15” deep, don’t let its diminutive dimensions suggest less than a full plate of features for use in a small office as well as a well-equipped home setting. Setup was virtually automatic after scanning a QR code for both wired and wireless use. Setup alerted to an available firmware update. An unexpected nice touch. Printing up to 36 pages per minute, its up to 50-page ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) can scan both sides IN COLOR in one pass. Though it cannot print in color, color scanning is still a useful feature when there is a need for color documents to be faxed or emailed. A major plus is the efficiency of this printer. The included starter toner cartridge can print about 1,000 pages. Available replacements can yield either up to 1,200 or 3,000 pages. For users who have greater needs, Brother offers a subscription program called Refresh that automatically send toner when the toner level reaches a proscribed level each month. A trial subscription is available. As to fax capabilities, it is a built-in feature. Scan, Copy and Print in duplex are all useful as is the ease of setup for Macs, Windows and even Chromebooks, all of which were successfully tested. Add to these, we successfully wirelessly printed from iPhones and Android phones. Scan to mobile is another handy feature. The paper tray can hold a generous 250 sheets of 20# bond. In addition, individual sheets and envelopes can be loaded in the bypass tray. Heavier paper can be set for the straight-through path and exiting the rear. The tray can accept and be adjusted for all popular sizes. In conclusion, and after hitting the highlights, I have come to enjoy and can recommend this printer wholeheartedly.

Brother’s MFC-L2900DW is a great multifunction printer, suitable for either home or small office. Provided that color printing is not a priority for you, this multifunction printer/copier/scanner/fax covers just about all the bases, offering plenty of features along with ease of use. I use laser printers extensively in my work environment, but have generally used inkjets at home. I’ve generally been fed up with those, despite their easy color printing, as most of the recent ones I’ve dealt with have been cantankerous to deal with. So this Brother laser printer has been a pleasant surprise with its no-fuss approach to getting the job done. Compared to an inkjet, the setup is amazingly simple. Other than unpacking, there’s little else to do but load paper, install the toner cartridge (which takes mere seconds), plug it in and start the setup process on the software side. Although printing from mobile is easy–more on that later–the initial setup is best done on a computer. Run the setup software to install drivers and quickly configure wireless, and you’re up and running into no time. Printing is very fast, both the actual print time and what I’d call the latency–the time between sending the print command and the printer actually commencing to print. As is typical of laser printers, text clarity is excellent and razor sharp. It’s not a photo printer, really, but a black and white photo printout was just satisfactory, but that’s not really what this about. I was impressed with the document feeder’s speed and document handling. I loaded it up with pages to copy that had been both folded up in an envelope and interspersed pages that were flat, so the papers didn’t fit flatly together. It handled all of that well and pulled them all through without difficulty, with the copies speedily dealt with. On the flatbed scanner, it did a respectable job of scanning a photo at 300 DPI. The large touch LCD screen on the front is easy to read and navigate. It gives access to all of the printer’s functions and settings. I found it responsive, but most importantly to me, the icons were all nicely sized, with nothing ridiculously tiny, which is something I have encountered before. Of course, you can use a mobile device to manage the printer. The Mobile Connect app allows for features such as scan to mobile, which worked very well, and printing from the mobile device. I liked that I was able to print while on the mobile network without being connected to wifi.. I did, however, run into difficulty selecting some documents in the app to initially print–the preview took forever or wouldn’t load in some cases. Patience, or closing the app and starting over, usually led to success, but this part of the app could perhaps get a little better. An unfortunate part of the software is the very persistent request to subscribe to toner replacement–at least on the app I was able to remove that off the main screen. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this printer. It’s really fast, prints text beautifully, does a good job scanning and copying, and the document feeder did a great job. The Mobile Connect app adds some good features, even if one of them was just slightly buggy at times. If monochrome printing is good for you, then this really does cover all the bases for a small or home office: it’s a great machine. Recommended.

I’ve been using the Brother Black & White All-In-One printer for a few weeks now, and it has truly exceeded my expectations. As someone who works from home and needs reliable, high-quality printing, this printer has been a game-changer. The print quality is superb, with sharp and clear monochrome prints every time. Whether I'm printing text documents or scanning important paperwork, the resolution is consistently impressive. The laser technology ensures that even the smallest details come out crisp and professional. One of my favorite features is the wireless connectivity. Setting it up on my home network was a breeze, and now I can print directly from my laptop or smartphone without any hassle. The Wi-Fi Direct feature is particularly handy when I need to print something quickly from my phone. The multifunctionality of this machine is another big plus. It’s not just a printer but also a scanner, copier, and fax machine. The auto-duplex printing saves time and paper, which I really appreciate. The speed is also commendable, handling large print jobs efficiently without slowing down. The design is compact, and it fits perfectly in my home office without taking up too much space. The build quality feels solid and durable, which gives me confidence that it will last for years. Overall, the Brother MFC-L2900DW is a fantastic all-in-one printer that delivers on every front. I highly recommend it for anyone in need of a reliable and versatile printer. Five stars!

I have almost always had good experience with Brother printers. For black-and-white volume prints, you definitely should go with laser printers. Enter the Brother MFC L2900DW. This is another quality printer from Brother and I think it should handle a small office's needs very well. From the get-go, you should understand what your needs are for a printer. If you need color prints, then this black-and-white laser printer is definitely not for you. While there are color laser printers out there, typically the ink printers do perform better for quality color prints. However, if you need black-and-white prints and alot of them, then this printer should be on your short list. Setup was par for the course. Honestly, the design language is so similar across all Brother printers so it's familiar to me. Let's just jump into performance. This thing can print. FAST. It advertises 36 ppm. I would argue yeah I was getting around that speed when I was really pushing it. For my small business, this was perfect. The print quality was good. Text is crisp. I definitely won't be testing the picture capabilities though. One thing to note, Brother is also jumping on the subscription train. You can buy a monthly subscription called Refresh EZ Print based on your print needs. I honestly am not a fan of this movement towards everything on Earth becoming subscription based. However, I can imagine for the certain person with consistent print needs that it could be cheaper than buying toner regularly. All in all, I am happy with the Brother MFC L2900DW. For a small business, it definitely can be on your short list.

I was using a rivals All-In-One/Multi-function Printer & smaller scanner-printer combo as well for about a year after I had given a family member my Brother LaserJet MFC printer because I had an overabundance of printers and I instantly regretted doing so. The Brother LaserJet that I had was amazing. So I was happy to get the opportunity to go back to a Brother MFC laser printer; I was so over the moon that I texted my significant other immediately & told her we could get rid of the crappy rival brand printers finally because we were going back to the best of the best again! She was happy too! So let's get into the review, shall we? Setup?: Setup was an absolute breeze. I hooked the cabling up, fired up the Brother iOS app & had my new printer online in less than 10 minutes. I could not be happier! Build Quality?: The build quality of this printer is exactly what I have come to expect from Brother. It is sturdy but not overweight; it is clean & elegant looking with it's black plastic, but not so plasticky that it looks like a toy; it doesn't feel flimsy or like any of the parts could break off if you look at it wrong. Ease of Use?: Between the touchscreen display & the iOS/Mac OS and Android apps we have been printing from our iPhones, Android phones, MacBooks, and Windows based PCs. It literally could not be any easier. Web Access?: The web access GUI was very familiar to me since having previously had a brother MFC before. The only quirky thing I found was that the password for the web GUI was on the back of the printer and it wanted me to change the password (I know why in a work setting) but it kept complaining at me until I changed it and I just changed it to the same password that was on the back of the printer and it stopped complaining. Easy enough I suppose. Drawbacks/Cons?: I sometimes wish it was color instead of just black & white but that is just for future-proofing sake really because we don't print a lot, if ever, in color since mostly what we use the printer for is scanning documents, printing work documents, etc. and so we have not, in many years, needed to print in color. So this MFC by Brother fits the bill. It would just probably be an added expense and so I don't really feel like we missed out on anything by getting a Black & White only printer vs. getting a color printing version. So is it a con or a drawback? Not really. I feel like it is a plus because it means the price per sheet will stay low. Conclusion: So if we had to do it over again would we get this Brother printer? Absolutely we would! I have trashed the 2 other rival printers I was using before and replacing them with this single Brother MFC-L2900DW and we are not looking back one bit!

Unboxing: I took out the printer, cartridge, and power cable. There was a quick start guide included that was quite easy to follow. Basically, you just have to remove some blue and orange plastic. Then install the printer cartridge. Finally power it on. Next there was a QR code to scan which took me to the app store for the brother mobile connect. Then it prompts you thru the setup. Connects to the Brother L2900dw and allows you to enter your wireless network password. Then it prompts you to login/create a brother account. After that I was prompted with a firmware update. Then I had to change the default password on the back of the machine. I recommend writing this down on your phone’s notes app or somewhere safe. Finally, I was setup to print. Use: The machine prints fast and very crisp for monochrome. I sent several print jobs, and the printer was done by the time I walked into the office. My other ink-based printer would still be printing.Then I tested the print document and photo from my phone, and it was fast and the prints where very clear. I pushed scan to phone on the Brother L2900 and it sent it to a scan history section of the app. From there I saw a very clear color scan. I could then save it to my phone or share anyway you can share a file on the iPhone. I went to mw Windows laptop and added the printer since it was discovered easily. The printing here was fast and clear. Finally, I copied, and it was very easy and fast from the included Auto Document Feeder. The 2-sided printing was fast and did not seem to slow down the output. In summary, I think this is a great multi-function machine that solves all the basic printing/scanning needs if you do not have a need to copy/print in color. Also, there is a subscription service you can enable that includes your toner for a fee, but I found the price and life of the toner cheaper for me to just buy as needed for my use case.

The MFC-L2900DW is a solid black and white printer. Set up was easy enough. I am not a fan of having to install an app to use a printer, and fortunately, the 2900 does not make you do so. Now, that being said, more advanced functions will require an app installed on a phone. For the purposes of testing, I started first by connecting the Brother 2900 to the network using the built-in touch screen. It was seen automatically on the network, and I was able to connect and print easily from both IOS and Windows products. Print speed is good. During testing, I was getting well over 30 pages per minute. The 2900 has an external auxiliary tray that can be used to feed heavier duty paper like card stock. My wife is an elementary school teacher and regularly uses our printers to print out hand outs, homework, and visual aids. A printer that prints cheap as well as is reliable is essential. The 2900 fits the bill nicely. Print cost comes out to right around 0.02 cents each, which is reasonable. Toner cartridges are easy to find, in particular aftermarket ones which come at a significantly cheaper cost. Of course, the 2900 also has scan and fax capabilities. While I do not have a need for faxing, scanning and saving was simple and easy. Overall, if you are looking for a monochrome printer capable of printing large amounts of copies at a high speed and inexpensively, as well as scan and fax, this is the printer for you.

This Brother MFC-L2900DW all-in-one laser printer is replacing a printer I’ve had for about two years, but I got tired of having subscriptions, so glad I got this one. Here is a quick breakdown of some of my favorite things. Easy and Fast Setup Setting up the Brother MFC-L2900DW was a super-fast and easy. From unboxing to doing my first test print, it took no more than 15 minutes. There was a small update but that was also quick. Once I connected it to my Wi-Fi, I was able to quickly find the printer on my network and start printing immediately. Affordable and Cost-Effective I’ve only had it this for about 2 weeks, but I can already say that compared to my old printer, one of my favorite things about this printer is that I saw how much the toners are and they aren’t way more affordable than my other printer. In fact, my other printed had a subscription attached to it which I dislike from day one. While it doesn't print in color, it is perfect for my needs since I mainly print in black and white, so this trade-off helps keep ongoing expenses down. Fast and Efficient I don’t believe my previous printer was a laser printer because I can tell there is a huge different in speed. This printer is incredibly fast, especially for a home office setting. Whether I’m printing large documents or scanning multiple pages, it handles everything efficiently. It makes me feel like I am printing at the printing machine at the actual office! Overall, if you need a fast, reliable, and affordable printer for your home office, the Brother MFC-L2900DW is an excellent choice! I highly recommend it

I was really looking fopprward to receiving, testing and reviewing this Brother MFC-L2900 B&W Laser All-in-One printer as I had a black and white laser printer in the past but gave it up as it couldn't print two sided copies without me manually taking the one-sided prints and reinserting them to print on the backside. Fortunately that is not the case with this Brother printer. As soon as the Brother Laser printer arrived, I had it unboxed and ready to setup in very little time. Before printing with it, the printer had me connect it to my Wi-Fi system (wired connections are also supported with a cable included for that purpose with the printer.) Once connected to the internet, the Brother printer checked in with Brother's support site to download any updates to the software and firmware that might be available. The setup was the easiest and smoothest process I have ever experienced with a printer. Brother has done a great job with this aspect of its printer! The Brother MFC-L2900 Laser printer is an all-in-one machine that prints, copies, scans and faxes. I found it to be very well built, quick to print, copy, and scan (did not test faxing) and the quality of its output was exactly what I was hoping for. Brother provides a one year warranty and phone support for the life of the product! Brother needs the Model and serial numbers to activate the warranty. As both required numbers are on the back of the machine, it is best to write them down before setting up the printer. The Brother MFC-L2900 B&W Laser All-In-One Printer is a great machine! Do not hesitate to buy it.

I've owned dozens of printers throughout my life. Some were good, some were bad and some have been great. I put the Brother MFC-L2900dw printer in the great category. I regret having purchased my last printer from the [former] leader in the space. It needed constant cleaning and adjustment to work. My experience with past printers from Brother have been great. This new Brother printer is also great. The printer arrived without damage as it was well-packaged. Setup with ok despite the need to reboot a couple of times to get a proper connection with my WiFi. The main use for this printer is to print and scan documents. I don't have much need to print envelopes. This may be the only negative on this printer as the envelope feed is in the back of the printer. Once I was up and running, my first few test pages printed quickly (very fast). I forgot how fast a laser printer can be. I also connected to the Brother app and tried a few documents from my phone. No issues printing from the phone either. I also tested card stock paper. Some printers bog down if the paper isn't document paper. The Brother printer handled my card stock easily. I do wish this printer had color capability but the price and speed of this printer outweighed my need for color. This is a great printer for the price.

Brother MFC-L2900DW is a laser monochrome printer with scanner feeder and wifi printing. The shipping box was quite huge, but the printer itself was about average for this type printer scanner. Set up was a bit tricky, especially connecting to wifi but the touch screen on the printer with mini keyboard, was most helpful compared to scrolling keyboards on some small screens. It requires a computer download which was easy enough. You must also download a software for the scanner which I almost overlooked. There is a YouTube video to help with set up which was definitely very useful. After this set up was completed and it was ready to use (after removing all the packing and loads of tape). The printer preformed well, It seemed a but slow to respond especially when scanning. Using it was mostly intuitive once set up. Quality of print was excellent, but remember it is only black. I prefer laser printers as they are more robust and don't clog as easy as the ink jets I have owned. The printer wasn't quiet as it went through its motions, but it was super noisy. At least I knew it was 'working'. Scanning quality was also excellent. I tried it with pictures and it was great. All in all this seems like a excellent combination printer scanner and built well.

Print Quality and Performance As a stand-alone black and white laser printer, this MFC-L2900DW fires out sharp and clear text, which is essential for any document-heavy tasks like printing reports, invoices, or text-based files. The printer's resolution of up to 2400 x 600 dpi ensures that small fonts and even images are rendered crisply and clearly. The printing speed is another highlight, capable of producing up to 27 pages per minute (ppm). This speed is quite efficient for small to medium workloads, allowing me to handle print jobs quickly without waiting. Scanning, Copying, and Faxing All-in-one functionality equals scans, copies, and faxes at your fingertips as well. The flatbed scanner offers a resolution of up to 600 x 2400 dpi, suitable for digitizing documents with great detail. Copying is straightforward and reliable, with the ability to handle multiple pages efficiently.

It supports Wi-Fi, allowing you to print from multiple devices without needing a direct connection. The printer is compatible with various mobile printing options, including AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Brother iPrint&Scan, and Wi-Fi Direct, making it convenient to print directly from smartphones and tablets – which I do all throughout my day and couldn’t live without.

The setup process is simple and user-friendly, anyone with basic networking skills will have no trouble at all following the straight-forward instructions. Paper Handling The printer has a 250-sheet paper tray, could be larger, but this is adequate for its intended use. It supports various paper sizes, including letter, legal, executive, and A4. It has a basic manual feed slot which is useful for printing on envelopes, labels, and other specialty media you may want to use. Another heavily used and must have feature for me is the automatic duplex printing. This is always a real bonus, enabling you to print on both sides of the paper, saving time and reducing paper usage. I’m often surprised by some so called “high-end” printers that don’t include this feature, so I’m glad this printer has it built in. Cost Efficiency The Brother MFC-L2900DW is economical in terms of both initial cost and ongoing expenses. The high-yield toner cartridges provide a good cost-per-page ratio, making it a budget-friendly option for black-and-white printing, allowing this printer to be a feasible options or home or budget oriented small office applications.

The Brother MFC-L2900DW Wireless Black-and-White All-In-One Laser Printer is a great printer for your home and office needs. The printer is well packaged and everything is laid out in an easy to set up process. It includes a quick start guy with easy to follow instructions. The quick start guide as well as a removable sticker on the printer has a QR code that directs you to the App Store to download the Brother Mobile Connect app. I ran into one minor glitch during the setup process. The app gives instructions on searching for your printer. Unfortunately, it was not able to locate it. It then said I could manually enter the IP address. What I ended up doing instead was connect the printer to my wireless network using the touchscreen display on the printer. After the printer was connected to my home WiFi, I then went back to the app and it was able to easily locate the new printer. The mobile app allows me to scan documents from the printer that are sent to the my mobile device, print documents, as well as adjust certain settings. The print speed and quality from the included toner cartridge was fast and accurate. The sheetfed and flatbed scanner does a good job of scanning documents. I have to make sure the paper is perfectly aligned when using the sheetfed scanner. I was scanning a document which was not perfectly straight. The printer pulled the paper through and the edges of the document were ripped and torn. The sheetfed scanner can also do duplex scanning. When using duplex scanning to scan front and back of a document, the scan speed is rather slow and the printer is rather loud while doing so. The printer can also be used as a fax machine and it includes a telephone cable. Overall, this is a good laser printer that will handle all of my office needs.
