Nice printer - but --
Date:May 5, 2013
By Bandleader
from Glen Allen, VA
The printer is solid, compact, and fast. I'm impressed with the features and efficiency of this model. However, it does not print colors accurately; I'm somewhat concerned about this.

Stupid HL-4150CDN Printer!
Date:April 17, 2013
By Honestly
from Texas
NOT suitable for BUSINESS!! What a disappointment!!
To give you an example of what to expect on a DAILY bases: Today we've printed 6 sheets of labels, 2 of them jammed! Jamming is a constant issue with this printer. We just started printing for the day, and sadly we expect more problems to occur.
When the labels do not jam, the top of the sheet comes out dog-eared. (bent/folded at 1 top corner) And, about half-way down the page, something that looks like grey heat marks, (almost shadows of what was printed at the top) is left behind, ruining the remaining labels or pictures. We wish we could upload a picture to show you the amount of wasted pictures & labels that hit the recycle bin. To reduce waste, we have resorted to cutting the pages in half before feeding them through the printer. Of course, the added step is both time consuming and limits picture size.
The HL-4150CDN worked fine for approx. 2 month before it started having issues. Aside from the jamming, it was constantly leaving vertical streaks on the page. While still under warranty, we had a Brother-authorized repairman fix the issues. After getting it back, we now leave the back of the printer open, as recommended by the repairman. We continue to follow the procedure for cleaning the corona wires and replacing toners with OEM cartridges but we still constantly have printing and jamming issues.
We also DO NOT Recommend this printer if you intend on printing pictures regularly. This printer loves to chew up photo paper. After purchasing this printer, we had to discontinue offering our customers P.O.P posters, color charts, etc. The quality of the Duplex printing on our brochures varies from set to set. Sometimes they are good while other times they are terrible. We have to sort thru each stack and recycle approx. 15% of the ones not meeting our standard... Of course it's waste of toner, paper, and employee productivity. We've recently replaced the Drum Unit, hoping the printing would improve. NO LUCK!!
If you’re HOPING to save $$ because the Brother Toner cartridges are more affordable, expect the $pend more than you save on employee time, wasted photo paper, labels and brochures. Don’t forget to factor in the expense of delaying all productivity relying on the printer!
Don't have time to HASSLE with a printer? Look somewhere else.

Cannot Print in Publisher or from Internet
Date:February 5, 2013
By LadyElaine
from Las Vegas, NV
I love Brother printers and had this model before. This second machine will not print from microsoft publisher or the internet unless I convert first to a .pdf file. This is onerous. I would appreciate it if someone would tell me what is wrong. The machine goes into deep sleep whereas the first one did not.

Never Again
Date:February 3, 2013
By dav100
from Minneapolis, MN
This is my third Brother printer. My first two were a black and white laser, I still have one and it works great. So I bought a color laser printer. The print quality is good, but the toner use is ridiculous. Even when printing just black and white it uses color toner. Between the cost of the color toner and the amount of toner this printer uses I would never buy another Brother Printer.

Good Thing I Bought the Extended Warranty
Date:January 21, 2013
By Wendy
from Florida
The first one I purchased went bad after about 14 months. I got credit through the Office Depot extended warranty. I purchased a second one and about 6 months later that one went bad and was replaced by a mediocre refurbushed one by Brother.

Almost Perfect!
Date:December 26, 2012
By XenonD
from Baytown, TX
GREAT printer! EXCELLENT value, and I LOVE Brother products, including their high end sewing machines and sergers! They sell industrial strength, affordable, and easily maintainable products!
In terms of details, this machine just does a GREAT job! Not sure what else to say!
What is the "almost" about? It's not about this machine in particular, but about the machines in the industry at large. Once again, I had to make a choice - wireless or dual print? I chose dual print. My assertion: I shouldn't have to make that choice. The prices jump up VERY SIGNIFICANTLY with both added, but not with just one or the other?? How is it that the price can be nearly the same with one or the other, and then be 300.00+ more expensive with both???

Good for tthe home office
Date:December 26, 2012
By Kurt
from Florida
This printer is made somewhat flimsily. The paper tray drawer is very weak and care should be taken when using the tray. The print quality is very good crisp, accurate colors etc. I would not put this unit into an office where is it used by several employees as it is not made to handle that atmosphere. Great for and priced for at home though watch kids using it.

Great Purchase! No Regrets!
Date:December 24, 2012
By Opompa
from Weslaco, TX
This is a great printer! I bought this printer in February and have not had any problems with it. Installed quickly and painlessly. Prints color pages very quickly and the duplex feature works flawlessly. I have not used the network feature yet, but i don't think I should have a problem with it. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

A Solid, Feature-Packed Printer
Date:December 24, 2012
By PlanoRuss
from Plano, Texas
The HL-4150CDN printer works flawlessly almost without exception, so it is essentially trouble free. It's only jammed once or twice in more than a year of frequent use, and that's because of a dog-eared or poorly loaded sheet, so I can't blame the printer. It's a bit on the big size, so be sure to have ample space on your desk or use a printer stand. The unit prints on both sides of a sheet (duplex) from MS Word 2010, so you can save paper. However, some applications, such as Adobe Acrobat, does not include a printer setup dialog that permits this feature--too bad. The unit is fast, quiet, and produces excellent quality output. The only performance issue is envelope printing. I sometimes have to print a few practice envelopes to get the forwarding and return addresses registered properly on an envelope. Of course the cost of toner cartridges are always high, but compared to most other laser printers and almost all ink jet printers, the toner cost per page is acceptable. (Toner pricing should always be based on a per-page cost, before buying.) I did, and that along with the features convinced me to buy the HL-4150CDN.

I have been very pleased with this printer. Has worked impeccably for the day I bought it. I print a lot of graphs in color (I am a scientist) and it has been economical. I highly recommend it.
