 "The Brother HL-3070CW has an odd but serious defect" 2010-07-20
By Sarah (USA)
This Brother printer would not work. I went to the Brother website, which advised me I could make it work by using it without a surge protector. I would have to use it plugged directly into the wall outlet. I returned the printer to Staples.



Brother obviously knows about this defect but continues to sell the product with the defect. Brother obviously doesn't care about the inconvenience to a consumer who may have to struggle to get a bulky, heavy printer transported, unpacked, and set up, researched, and then back to the store. I'll be looking only at other brands now.

 "Printing on cardstock is slow and painful." 2010-06-04
By D. Frazier (Flagstaff)
I am printing on Kromecoat 12 pt. glossy cardstock. Cardstock will not feed from the normal paper tray and must be fed from the manual feed tray. You must feed the cardstock one piece at a time. This process is very slow and requires constant human interaction. I calculated the maximum print speed with letter-size cardstock at 3 or 4 sheets per minute, not the 17 pages per minute advertised. The other big problem is that my cardstock comes out with a pronounced curl. I am currently letting my printed sheets rest under several reams of paper in the hope that the curl will be straightened out in a few days. You would not expect this curling problem in a machine that is advertised as having a straight-through paper path. But it does. Also, the rear paper exit option that is supposed to allow for a straighter paper path seems goofy. The cardstock feeds fine regardless of which exit you use. For me, using the rear exit just means I have to reach farther over the machine to get my print-outs. This printer is not really designed to work well with cardstock. Even the manual paper tray that you are supposed to use with cardstock is a bit of a joke. The "tray" with the paper guides is only about two-inches wide, meaning that it is not really long enough to make sure that paper or cardstock is aligned properly as it enters the machine. To make matters worse, the paper guides built into the tray have a tendency to slide back and forth so you have to constantly reset them, and try to hold them in place with your fingers as you feed the paper into the machine. I finally taped the paper guides where I want them with scotch tape. When you feed cardstock, you should put slight pressure on the cardstock to help it out as it is drawn in by the printer. Also, you need to be careful about your timing if you are feeding multiple sheets into the machine. If you are too fast with your feeding, the machine will think a paper jam has occurred, and you will have to withdraw the cardstock, open the top of the printer, and then close the top of the printer to get the print job back on track. The good news is that real print jams have yet to occur while using the manual feed slot. The only reason I gave this printer three stars is that the print quality is good, the price is reasonable, the machine is quiet, and easy to set up. I only started using this printer yesterday. I expect the cost of toner could be a problem because the toner cartridges seem quite small. Each cartridge has its own built in drum, so these are probably quite pricey. But I am hoping that I will be able to refill the cartridges in order to save money. We will see. If refilling proves problematic, then operating this machine long-term could prove too costly for me, especially given the hassles of printing on cardstock.

 "Great laser prints for the money" 2010-05-20
By Cowboy Bill (Omaha, NE USA)
I had read a so-so review for this printer online so my expectations were low when it arrived. But when I printed the color demo sheet after setting the printer up, my doubts vanished. It prints color very well and the text is sharp and clear.



I also use an Epson all-in-one ink-jet printer in my home office, and the Brother laser printer is definitely a better printer. However, it isn't always tremendously better; unless you were holding print samples from both printers in each hand to compare them, you might not notice the difference when printing text-heavy or grayscale pages.



I'm a graphic designer and illustrator, so having that extra bit of quality is important to me. If you're just printing black-and-white text all the time, however, a less-expensive multifunction ink jet with a scanner included might be the way to go.



The cartridges for this Brother printer are pricey, but that comes with laser printers from all manufacturers. All in all, I'm happy with this printer.

 "HERE'S HOW TO FIX THE TONER "OUT" PROBLEM" 2010-05-01
By Mr. Steve W. Robertson
Read the other reviews for details about this printer.



My problem is that I printed a few hundred pages and then the printer reported IT WAS OUT OF TONER. WTF? The "starter" toner was supposed to be at least a few thousand pages.



I made the mistake of buying a new black toner cartridge. Then after it printed a few pages, it said the magenta cartridge was out of toner! I was trying to print black! This printer has a serious problem of not knowing when or if the toner cartidges is either out of, or completely full of toner.



After I found this trick, I got another 1,000 pages out of that "empty" toner cartridge.



Here's how to fix the problem (quoted from someone else but it really works... you can Google this problem and it will say to put electical tape on the sensor, but that does NOT NOT NOT work with this printer. Only this will work):



Toner Reset Menu for Brother HL3070:

1. Open Cover where you access toner cartridges

2. Press CANCEL & SECURE PRINT buttons at one time and you'll see the toner menus on screen

3. Press + or - to navigate through to the toners you need to reset. Hit "Y" to reset the toner. Scroll through and repeat for each toner color as necessary.

4. Hit OK button when prompted.



Reset menu for the durable parts counters:

1. Open cover where you access toners

2. Press GO and + button at once, you'll see menu come up displaying reset counters for drum, fuser, etc.



Brother SUCKS for trying to make you buy a new toner cartridge when there is absolutely nothing wrong with the one you have. And then trying to hide this information from you. I won't buy from this manufacturer EVER AGAIN.

 "a little disappointed" 2010-04-07
By C. Achterberg
Frankly I am a little disappointed with the printer. I did a lot of research and thought I had found the right one. It was rated a top performer. As long as you are using regular paper it does fine but I wanted a lazer printer so my ink wouldn't run. I like doing alot of diferent projects that require a lot of different papers. This printer has an opening in the front where you are suppose to insert the special paper and it barely works you have to mess with it alot to

get it to suck the paper in and as for trying to print on the back side of a piece of paper that has already run through the machine FORGET IT! I also am having a hard time finding specialty papers for it. I ended up having to by lazer photo paper on line because no one carries it in the stores.
