Brother HL-1110 (page 2 of 2)

Great printer takes up small amount of desk space and print quality is fantastic. Replacement toner cartridges are competitively priced keeping the total cost of printing very low. I will never use a messy, slow, expensive ink jet printer again. Get yourself a Brother HL-1110 you will not regret it.

Satisfied with print quality and overall performance. Refill prices of original are high so buy the generic cartridges which works beautifully well. It does not jam and is quite reliable each time you hit PRINT. As long as you want to only Print this is value for money. Easy to set up and start running in matter of minutes.

i am very happy with mine, i have found it to a very cheap basic printer i recommend you get your refills form china to keep your costs down.
nothing bad to say at all and it doesn't take up much desk space either nice and easy to get working

Its cheap ! its noisy ! all pictures of unit show the paper tray closed, so when I got one from office works $58, I only realised after installation the paper sits out in the open all the time collecting dust- IE there is no "paper tray" like my old brother 2040. Print quality is just ok, yes its cheap and will fill the gap untill the toner runs out and will then purchase something more robust, better quality, and has a paper tray !!

If you only print text this cheap little laser printer leaves the ink jets for dead. Print quality is quite good but a more expensive printer would do better. It doesn't stuff about for 3 minutes on start up like my old canon. The ink jets won't print B&W if one of your colours is low. ( even if the black is full) We have 3 of them between office and home hooked up to Windows and Mac. Not a problem. You can print manual double sided as well, just wait 5 seconds for the page to cool down. All in all glad to be rid of buying colour ink when I only print B & W.

This printer plugs into my mac but 90% of the time says 'printer is offline'. I have fully downloaded the drivers and all. Small possibility it's the mini-usb to usb cord bought separately. Absolutely terrible - no convenience having a printer at home (especially of emergencies) at all!
Also, pages come out curled and hot, so there is no possibility of reloading pages soon after printing to manually do double-sided printing, as I have done with a better quality home printer/scanner in the past.

I have not been able to print anything or even see how it works, Opened the box,installed and the the error code says the toner is empty but I have not yet printed anything at all,can't as it wont let me .Now that's economical!!!!

I have had 2 Brother printers before and have been quite happy with their performance. I had the last one for probably 4 years (I think the 2140) before the drum needed replacing. It wasn't worth the money to do this so I went out to buy another printer and the HL-1110 fit the bill.

So far, it is doing a good job and does what it claims - compact and reliable printing. Yes, it's a bit noisy but I don't mind. It doesn't have fancy features like duplex or wireless printing either but I don't need them.

Replacement toners aren't too expensive from what I can see, especially if you get a generic.

It's a bit flimsy but what do you expect for $40.

I bought this as a replacement for a HP photo printer that I didn't really need. I just needed draft quality black and white printing and that is what this cheapie does...for the cost of replacing one cartridge in the HP ($37.50 at Good Guys). I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best and so far (after 100 or so pages of printing) it hasn't missed a beat. I would not recommend to anyone whose needs are more than occasional draft quality B&W printing but if that is your need... The moment of truth will come when it runs out of toner - do I buy a replacement toner or simply buy another HL-1110 ? The answer will depend on how many pages it has produced. The replacement toner costs more than the printer.
Cheap
Nothing so far

The printer only printed two pages before running out of toner. It advertised that the box came with enough ink for 700 pages. This is not a fit for purpose product.

I purchased it to quickly enable me to print in black and white but two pages in not enough from any perspective.
