Simple, Reliable Printer for Everyday Use
The Brother MFC-L2820DW is a great all-in-one printer for black and white printing. It’s fast, easy to set up, and prints sharp documents.Scanning and copying work well too, and it connects to Wi-Fi without issues. If you just need a solid printer for everyday use at home or in a small office, this one works great.It arrived quickly and was packaged well.
Great printer, but set up instructions aren’t necessarily as “Eze” as they claim.
After years of struggling with inkjets and wasting more ink than I actually used in printing, I finally gave up and bought a toner-based laserjet. Should have done that years ago, but they were so expensive and inkjets were so cheap. Live and learn. I downloaded the EzeSetup as recommended. The printer worked fine printing internal reports and copying, but wouldn’t receive print jobs from the wired network, the wireless network, or the USB plugged directly between the printer and the PC. All print jobs showed being sent then changed to “error”. Being one who likes to figure things out myself, I kept banging my head against the printer (didn’t affect the printer but gave me a headache).Eventually, I saw a link on a Brother support page to a download of the full package for my printer, complete with all drivers, associated software, everything. After I downloaded and installed that package, the set up went flawlessly. Within a few minutes, I was printing and was very happy!!About my only complaint would be the sounds the printer makes to, I guess, let you know it’s received your instructions and is processing them. It’s easily turned off or turned down through the display screen, though, so it’s easily fixed. The printer is quick, reasonably quiet, and turns out great black & white pages; crisp, clear, and easy to read.
This is a very reliable, high quality printer for a very reasonable price
This is an excellent printer. It was packed very well, and the setup was easy. Two-sided printing is quite useful and problem free.
Excellent quality
Nice printer! Especially at the price point I bought it for. Does everything I need, and prints beautifully. Only downside is that it’s a bit noisy, but for the savings and quality I’m good with it. Have used HP for many, many years, but their prices are climbing and they won’t let you use non-HP toner any longer. I refuse to pay $80 for a toner cartridge! Brother allows non-Brother toner cartridges and still works great.
Fast printing, clean text, easy setup, mobile and wireless support.

Brother does not honor the warranties. Buy at your own risk.
BROTHER DOES NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTIES, BEWARE!I ordered this printer from Amazon on April 3, 2025, could not get it connected with WIFI, but connected with USB and used flawlessly until early October 20205, when it stopped printing. I called help and girl put me through everything for nearly 2 hours. She could not get it to work from USB or WIFI, but sent me an Email saying my problem was under consideration. Nothing. Called again today and another girl put me through the paces, new drivers, etc. Still could not get it to work. I finally blew up at the girl and told her I thought they were just putting me though hell until I gave up. I said one year warranty was a joke. She said warranty did not apply for my problem????? Don’t know what I will do, but pretty distrustful of Brother now. My previous Brother printer worked 10 -15 yrs no problems, but this was a piece of crap.
Incredible B&W printer; upgrade if you scan
This thing is an incredible printer. It spits out B&W pages within about 2 seconds a page. It does double sided printing and copying as well. It uses a lot less ink than cheaper printers. In fact, switching from a cheap printer saved me more money in ink than the price of the printer.That said, my only issue with this is the scanning. I wish I would have spent the extra $50 for the next level upgrade. The scanning works but it’s one single page at a time. You have to scan each page separately on the scanner bed. This makes absolutely no sense as there is a feed tray on top for copying where the pages are scanned. But the scanning is quick, you can do it with one button and you don’t need to create a login or account to scan like you do with HP printers.
Got this printer to replace a very old HP that I had to go to and physically connect to all the time (plus it was so old that the drivers were having issues half the time).As we only use laptops and the printer isn’t anywhere near where we usually work, I really wanted to get something WiFi enabled so I can just print without having to hook it up and hoping it works without restarting the computer.Didn’t realise how much I’d like the connectivity – printing Amazon returns from the phone feels awesome!Also, the scan to email is great as well!Oh and lastly, screw HP with all the subscription and lock down BS. Not going near that company until they stop all that stuff.

Had one for years, but it just quit. So I got another one because I really don’t like a few other suppliers.
