Ratings & Reviews for Brother HL-L8260CDW Business Color Laser Printer with Duplex Printing and Wireless Networking

Print Preview

For some reason the Print Preview option in Printing Preferences was dropped between the HL-L8250 and the HL-L8260. No control over what pages are actually printed. Creates lost time, paper and ink. Not environmentally friendly at all either. Disappointed. I thought by buying a replacement printer in the same model line as the HL-8250 that it would have the same functionality.

DOA

The printer jammed the very first time I used it. It only works if I feed one sheet at a time.

Great printer! Duplex printing! Very quiet!

This is a very nice printer. It supports native AirPrint, prints duplex, and is a very nice color laser printer. It replaced a previous version of a similar printer...which lasted much longer than expected!

Love it except when it doesn't duplex correctly

Not sure it the problem is within the printer or the program sending the data but sometimes when I print duplex (flip on long side) - it still prints like I have selected print duplex flip on short side.

Goes into a deep sleep. Never wakes up.

Printer will not come out of deep sleep mode without cycling power. Overall the printer works well. I've been searching the Brother website for help. It's pretty lousy. The included manuals have no reference to deep sleep. I'd turn it off if I could. Overall the printer is ok. This Sleep thing is pretty irritating. I'd pick another printer.

It could be Great, if.

For the most part the print quality is good; however, I have paper handling issues. Sometimes it will feed 3 or 4 sheets of paper at one time. I've tried different settings to no avail. Also, envelopes come out wrinkled unless I flip the levers in the back for printing them, but then I get a noticeable crease on one side when printing letter size paper.

Fast printer

I bought this for my classroom. Needed to be able to print evelopes for parents and stuff for my class. This printer you can print up to 10 evelopes at a time. Wish I would have known that before the I bought the model below this one. Makes my power flicker and shuts down my computer when I use it because it draws a lot of electricity. Could be because I had other items also plugged in or it could be an electrial issue in my home however got it to work once I had a back up battery installed. It ...

Beautiful color prints

This product is used in a small office. So far we like it a lot. Easy to set up and use and the print quality is beautiful.

Great Printer

This is a really great printer, with excel color and extremely fast.

A new satisfied Brother customer

I purchased this machine as a replacement for a Lexmark color laser printer that had finally given up the ghost. After reading reviews, checking features and prices, I decided on the Brother HL-L8260CDW printer. I am acquainted with the Brother name, and quality from my former company's exclusive use of Brother monochrome fax machines. So far, it was a great choice, I have gone through about a half a ream of paper with great results.

Works great

I love this printer. So easy to install. The only this I do not like is it will not mirror image. I have to use a different program to reverse the image. Then I prints great.

Very slow spooling

Purchased this to be used as a receipt printer to upgrade from an older model because of it's advertised fast printing speed, Ended up being a downgrade as I can literally count slowly to 10 from the time I click "print" to the time it actually starts printing. Meanwhile, my customer is staring at me wondering what's taking so long. 8 year old printer would start printing almost immediately. Tried changing settings on the new one but nothing helps. Just very slow to spool. Print quality is f...

Good product worked for what I needed.

I am pleased so far with this product. Does everything I needed.

Good Value

This is a really good printer for a reasonable price.

Quick & Quiet!

This is my third color laser printer and the best so far. Front loading tray is great for envelopes or odd size paper, i.e, printing a single page legal size paper. No need to change main paper tray. The monitoring software only shows ink levels, if it also showed statistics like the number of pages printed both overall and per toner cartridge, page count for the imager, etc. I would have rated this printer a five.

reliable

this was a replacement for my older Brother laser printer, the replacement parts for the old printer were more expensive than buying a new printer. such a deal!

no problems with it works great

Im sorry I didn't buy this sooner Ive had other printers but I love this one the best you can't beat the quality for the price.its quick to print the set up was easy theres nothing complacated about it and that's what I like about it thank you brother for a printer that anyone can set up and use with no trouble.

It does the job.

The printer prints fine, just a couple of issues that is slightly off putting. First, using the bypass tray is a little more work than I would like. I wish Brother will work on this issue, there should be a better way than to have to open the back flap when using the bypass tray. I have actually never come across this before. Second issue is the fact that the printer has a hard time printing directly from the internet. It seems to be a hit or miss on this. I’m usually more successful printing fr...

Excellent Printer!

Easy and fast to install. User-friendly. No need to be an expert High-quality printer that handles a lot of printing.

Duplex quite working

Printer worked well for a few months and then the duplex printing feature refused to work. Computer repair man downloaded updated software tested it and duplex is working well. Printer works well when able to do douhle side printing.l
