The Brother HL-L3280CDW prints well when it works, but the ink cartridge policy makes it practically unusable. If even one cartridge runs empty, the entire printer locks up—meaning you can’t print anything, not even simple black and white documents. This becomes a huge problem if you have an urgent job. Imagine needing to quickly print something important, but because one color cartridge is empty (even if you don’t need that color), the printer is dead weight. I currently have plenty of black i...

Great Printer - Great Price!
Firstly, I liked the purchase cost; great price. Secondly, the picture reproduction and quality are excellent. I particularly like how the printed colors match the picture colors perfectly.

If you need a friend, start with a Brother!
I used a HP LaserJet for a long time and then it fails on me. Constant connectivity issues expensive Media and then the light shine on my BROTHER. The printing is excellent connectivity is excellent. Haven’t compared the Media yet because it hasn’t run out.

A good replacement for my old laserjet printer
I needed a smaller color laser printer, and this one fit the bill. I was not hindered by the fact that it cannot scan as I have been using my phone to scan whatever I need and since I have my phone connected to my computer I can easily transfer the documents. It prints well and set up went pretty smoothly. I have it connected via Ethernet to my router and for some reason the port changed and I could not print. I found the port for my IP address and simply changed the port and all was working...

Easy to Live with Printer
Based on my experience with my Brother MFC-L2700DW printer for the past 15 years, I purchased the HL-L3280CDW. This printer provides the same level of jam-free printing I have experienced with my B&W printer. It is also easy to setup and operate with either USB or AirPrint interfaces. Supplies are also widely available.

Worthless printer
This is the worst printer I have ever owned. It printed for about two week and then stopped. It sent a fake message about a jammed paper and there was none, then it told me to swipe the rider on all the INK and I did it twice (I always do it before loading)—still will not print. I used only Brother ink and it still will not print. I wish I had never purchased it. Even my son, a knowledgable computer/printer person could not get it to work. I will never buy another Brother product.

Happy customer
I am very happy about my printer. I use it often to help my kids with education. I see there is a quality of the device. Heavy but sturdy. I won’t break it easily. I wish the color on paper would be even more amazing but honestly it is already very good.
