I bought this thinking that I could connect it wirelessly to two laptops in an office. What the sales info fails to mention is that it has to be connected to a printer server or router. Had I known that, I wouldn’t have bought it. Frankly, it’s too much trouble to return it….
Tech support goes straight to India. They asked for my mailing address 5 times but couldn’t answer basic questions.
The wireless setup, if you dare try it, is incredibly confusing. I’m usually pretty good with computer accessories, but I gave up quickly on this one. I guess it’s an okay desktop laser printer, but that’s not what I bought it for.
Be careful removing the blue packing tape from the machine. I tore a plastic panel right off the unit. That’s quality.
If I were to buy again, I would look elsewhere.
I’ve had this printer for a week or ten days, and it works fine through the USB connection. Fast and decent print quality. I have, however spent hours trying unsuccessfully to network the printer, either wired or wireless. The instructions are terrible and confusing, way beyond any other printer I’ve ever owned. I’m not exactly a novice, as I have networked several other printer brands with no problem. I doubt that I would ever recommend this product to a friend.
It works very well. It set up well. It has low cost per copy. It is only 1 month old
I purchased the HL-5370DW as my first personal laser printer for use in my Home Office. I didn’t get it from Amazon, but OfficeMax for $199 and it came with a bonus $50 gift card – can’t beat that deal !
It was easy to setup, just add the Toner, peel off some packaging tape, plug it in and connect to your PC or Router. I used the Wireless option, and although you have to initially cable the printer to your Router first, it wasn’t that difficult to setup using Windows XP Pro. I didn’t follow the directions exactly and just used the enclosed CD setup program and gave the printer a static IP address and configured the WEP passphrase. That was it. Once un-cabled, the wireless worked like a charm and I have two PCs on my network, one running XP Pro and the other is Windows 7. No issues printing to the printer.
Paper curl is minimal and I am using cheapo copy paper. If you have heavier paper, I would imagine there would be no curl. Duplexing is nice and print speed is not an issue for me. I don’t care it it takes 8 seconds to print a page.
My only complaint is the power draw on this printer – 675W printing based on the Brother spec sheet. As another reviewer mentioned, my room lights also dim and my UPS kicks in for a few seconds while it’s printing. I looked at some other HP Laser printers and they seemed to be between 300-500W while printing. So 675W seems really high to me. My office only has my laptop, LCD monitor, Router, UPS, and a overhead light with 2 60W bulbs in it. Even with all adjacent rooms lights and electronics unplugged/off, and only my PC on, the UPS still kicks in temporarily. I’ll have to keep checking to see why this is happening.
Other than that, it’s a great printer for a small office with low print job requirements.
This printer has some great features but there are two serious issues:
1) POWER DRAIN. This printer causes brown-outs in my house. My last two laser printers did not. Every time it started the printing process, the lights went dim and my UPS system clicked on. Obviously, this is relative and may just be my house but it obviously draws more power than my previous laser printers (an HP and a Lexmark).
2) PAPER CURL! Some reviews have said there’s a slight curl… it’s more than slight. I use standard copier paper. It’s enough to make this printer useless for printing anything serious. I know I could use the straight through path but that’s annoying.
Luckily, it’s wireless so I just put it in another room where it could suck electricity. I was satisfied with it until the paper curl just got to me. It’s just not acceptable.
Another less serious issue was set-up. It took me some time to get the whole thing going on my wireless network. I had to use a combination of USB cable and a download of the Windows 7 software (It doesn’t come with it). I got it going but it wasn’t nearly as painless as my Lexmark.
Judging from all of the printer reviews I have read on Amazon, there is no perfect printer. The power problem is probably one that is unique to a small number of people. The paper curl is going to happen and you just have to decide how picky you are. This printer has a LOT of good features so it’s a toss up.
I will probably be returning this printer.
