Great printer
Date:March 19, 2013
By Markman
from Hespeia, CA
Works very well and is very fast. Can set it up on the network manually without having to use the printer software. Air print works great as this was the reason it was purchased.

Best Printer yet
Date:March 4, 2013
By CBurch

I use exclusively Brother Printer's and fax machines in my business. I love that you have finally introduced a paper tray that holds an entire ream of paper. Awesome! No more second paper tray and hoping the program I am using will trigger the second tray automatically.
The speed is incredible and using it wireless makes it so efficient. When I log in remotely from home, I can send my work to the printer and the next morning, it's there waiting for me.

Nice Printer but it does not print transparencies.
There was something else that I did not like but I can't remember what it was.
I returned it.

Predictable Quality
Date:January 16, 2013
By Lake
from Covina California
I have been using Brother Printers for a number of years so my expectations were already high. Particularly with the Black and White Printers I have never been disappointed, and our new HL-6180DW certainly lives up to those expectations. It runs flawlessly and produces high quality printing in both standard and duplex mode.
Much of our output goes directly to press (we have a print shop) and we have never had complaints regarding quality.
Thanks for an excellent product at a reasonable price.

Excellent printer
Date:December 25, 2012
By aleksandrB
from San Mateo, CA
I'm glad to have one more printer of Brother. My previous HL-52xx and 53xx work very well. This one powerful, short time of the 1st page, good duplex mode.
The only thing is short capacity of the initial cartridge - 1000 pages, I expected 2500 as regular one. But it's OK. And Wi-Fi installation is still not so simple as it should be :-(

Good Printer
Date:December 6, 2012
By Techie
Wired network was easy to setup. Good speed and print quality.
Wireless setup seems old fashioned with the need to connect the printer to a router via cable (not included) for setup.
Otherwise does what it is advertised to do.

Better than ever
Date:December 3, 2012
By billofla
from Los Angeles
My previous Brother laser printer had a fried fuser after 20,00 pages. Rather than repair it, I choose this new model instead. It has double the paper capacity at 500 sheets, and handles envelopes much better. I was the Technology Teacher and Network Manager for my school, and have installed hundreds of printers across our school system. None, have been as fast, as productive, or as dependable as these two were. And at an amazing price no less!

Good Value.
Date:December 3, 2012
By DonH
from Southlake, TX
We were replacing 8 HP printers, some over 15 years old. We were looking for 30+ppm and wireless connectivity. The Brother seem to provide the biggest bang for the buck. Reliability seems good based on the one 4-year old Brother we have. The 500+ single paper tray is great, but the single sheet tray seems to hold fewer sheets and not as solidly constructed as our older Brother. A bit noisy!

Great Customer Service
Date:November 26, 2012
By tryabike
from Atlanta, Ga
Brother went out of their way to help to me get this printer connected wirelessly. It took multiple calls and several hours of tinkering but with Brothers consistent support we got it connected and wroking. Even to the point of sending me a second printer at no charge before we jointly realized the issue was with my older router. Just a word or caution if you have a older router do yourself a favor and update it when you update your printer, it will be worth it! Once connected the printer has been working flawlessly and fast!

Nice printer
Date:November 25, 2012
By OldGuy
from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
This is a nice printer. The page per minute speed is great and the print quality is good. The only problem I've had with the printer is the wireless feature. It is not user friendly to set up. After I had my new desktop and my wireless laptop set up and working with the printer, for some reason the printer kept going off-line on both computers. I had to re-install the drivers about four times before it finally communicated with my computer.
