 A Big Disappointment October 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My purchase was based on glowing reviews by the likes of PC Magazine and PC World. I thought I had found a great printer. Although the printer is approximately two years old I have only put approx 700 pages thru it.
The first signs of trouble were a large crease in the center of each page when paper exited the machine.
Then disaster struck. I tried to print and nothing. My computer alerts me it has discovered new hardware ! The status light is red and the printer refuses to print, not even a test page. I quickly learn the computer can't find the printer. Trying to reinstall the drivers won't work. even without it hooked up to the computer the red light won't go out. Upon searching the internet for info I discover I am not alone when it comes to this same problem. No phone number to call for help. Now I have a large paper weight on my hands. Never Again, Brother
 I couldn't be happier October 26, 2008
I have had this printer for approximately two years and put it through moderate use. I print something nearly every day. I am a student and print lots of drafts of papers and presentations. I don't typically print exceptionally long items, so I don't have a lot of experience with more than about 30 pages at a time. But I always use the duplex function, it was what pushed me towards buying this product in the first place. I love that I can use less paper, especially for rough drafts or miscellaneous printing. I have used a variety of papers including card stock. It definitely gets a little touchy with other papers and I've had a few times where multiple sheets will be pulled through when using the front slot. I am still on my first toner cartridge but getting close to the end. The toner light came on about two weeks ago and then went back off, so I figure any day now.
As far as price goes, I don't remember how much I paid, between $150 and 200. I felt it was a good price, I had been through so many ink jet printers that I was sick of replacing them every six months to a year. This printer has met all my expectations.

Installed this laser printer using the supplied CD onto a Macintosh OS X 5.5, and a 4.11 version OS.
Networked to a Bonjour wireless setup without difficulty. Works as intended on two MacBook Pros; one G4 and one Intel Duo. Install time using the CD was less then 10 minutes for each computer. Brother HL-5250DN Network Ready Laser Printer with Duplex
 Worked well for a while October 18, 2008

This printer worked well for about a year. Right after replacing the drum cartridge my paper started to come out crinkled, then repeatedly jamming. When I finally reached Brother customer service they recommended a heavier weight paper even though I had been using their specified type and weight of paper. They were not helpful. By that time it was out of warranty. Still nursing it along until the toner runs out, but only for drafts.
Solid Little Printer October 15, 2008

Have bought two of these well over a year ago. So this is NOT a new user review. One's at home and one is in the office in a workgroup supporting about 15 users. The one in the office prints about 7,000 pages per month (the unit is rated for up to 20,000 per month). Everybody in the office loves it. Especially the accountant, because the duplex saves paper and keeps costs down. As long as you use Brother brand toner carts with "toner save" mode, you will get the claimed 7000 sheets out of one high capacity cartridge. We have found that the Brother drum units go way beyond the claimed 25,000 sheets. By way beyond I mean at least 10,000 more impressions, in our case.
Sometimes the office printer makes a clicking sound when in operation, and this might be annoying in a home setting, but it's just some minor mechanical noise, the printer works great. I give it 5 stars because it made me look like a genius for recommending it over a Panasonic that cost more than 4 times as much.
Also has excellent support for Mac's.
