Brother HL-L2405W Wireless Compact Monochrome Laser Printer REVIEW

[@Bob.Stoddard]

Thanks for the helpful review. I just got this printer....and for the same reasons you mentioned. Now to get it installed and working with my Windows 11. Thanks!

[@TeamKandy]

I am glad you found it beneficial. I hope you like your new Brother printer. I run Windows 11 and it actually synced up right from the start. For me, I ALWAYS have connectivity issues when getting a new printer so good luck. Knowing my printer is going to actually work when I need it is a game changer. Plus the price isn't bad for the Brother HL-L2405W Wireless Compact Monochrome Laser Printer.

@@TeamKandy was the 'Quick setup' all you needed to get up and running? I'm not too computer-savvy so I hope I can get things operating without too much trouble. my Wi-Fi is solid and I know my username and pw.... It will be wonderful to have a printer that I can depend on. My inkjet works well...when it works but about every time I want to print something the printer won't work.... usually an ink-related issue. Thanks again!

Yes you will want to go through the quick setup process to make sure all the drivers etc. are on your computer for it to function. If for some reason you have a weak WiFi signal in the area where you are setting up your printer you can always get a WiFi signal extender or get a long printer cord and use that when needed. I used WiFi for a long time with the printer but now since I only use it every so often I have a long printer cord that I leave connected to the back of the printer. I also always turn my printer off after use. So when I need to print I will plug in the printer cable to my usb on my laptop turn on the printer and print. After that I turn off my printer and unhook the cable. No need in my eyes to leave a printer on for a month or two if I am not needing it.

literally sold! This is exactly same reasons I'm looking to move from inkjet printers where printing is optional

[@TeamKandy]

Yes, I dealt with that issue with numerous printers, and I am glad I ended up purchasing this printer. Buying new ink cartridges after rarely using them became frustrating and expensive. Also, most of the inkjet printers I have used over the years won't let you print if your ink cartridges are showing they are low. Great way for the companies selling the printers to make money on the ink cartridges.

Would be helpful if you showed printer quality in video

[@TeamKandy]

Thanks for the input. The printer is a standard Brother HL-L2405W Wireless Compact Monochrome Laser Printer that is a black & white printer so not sure what you mean by showing the printer quality in the video? Are you saying you would have liked it if I printed a page and showed the black & white print out and the quality of what was printed in black & white?

[@michaelpeters5914]

@@TeamKandyI believe that’s what he meant yes. Apparently the quality between ink and laser printers is pretty big.

[@TeamKandy]

I figured that was what he meant. It is a basic black & white printer that I have really liked. I didn't purchase it for high quality printing but more for having a reliable printer that when I turn it on after not using it for quite some time, the print cartridges don't say they need to be replaced. My main reason for doing this video is that I am sure many experience the same problem with having a printer that won't print because it says the ink cartridges need replaced because they are showing empty. Even though I was hardly using it. With black & white printing and being a basic printer I didn't feel it was necessary to show the printout since there is no color. But I do appreciate the feedback and will take that into consideration for future videos.

@@TeamKandy , I need to print a return shipping label for an Inkjet printer once in a while. I don't use a printer much, and of course, the Ink is usually an issue. I'm tired of fighting with Inkjet printers. I want a printer that can sit idle for a month and work when I need it to.

[@TeamKandy]

@@Bob.Stoddard that is EXACTLY why I am a huge fan of the HL-L2405W Brother Printer. I don't print very often either and got beyond aggravated when I actually needed to use it, and a sensor on the printer won't let me print because it says there isn't enough ink!!! Since owning this brother printer it has literally worked every single time, seems like a miracle. LOL
