Love that it prints envelopes, labels and specialty papers

We had a dumb printer… needed to print from a computer. The integration with smartphone was much appreciated. It was a night and day upgrade and the laser and color was an added bonus. Toners are widely available with affordable brands, another bonus.

I bought this to replace my last Brother Color Laser Printer after I broke it and my monochrome died. I’m extremely happy with it, the WiFi is terrific, I can print from another room or from my phone. The color is good, this printer is an excellent value, money well spent.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This Brother printer was amazingly easy to setup and use. It took about 5-10 minutes following the instructions to be ready to turn on and print. I really like the wireless printing which seems to be a normal feature these days but it was a plus that it worked flawlessly with my computer on the first try. The 1-Line LCD is not fancy in any way but it gets the job done and makes navigating the menus and accessing all the features of the printer fairly easy. I prefer a full color LCD display but this worked well enough that I was not frustrated with it.As far as the print quality was concerned the black and white printing and simple color graphics looked amazing but more complex color printing such as images we not great. This is of course to be expected with a laser printer and overall the print quality for typical office work is superb. I appreciated the ease of duplex printing as well, I use this feature often and am happy when it just works. The fact that the printer was fairly quite was also a huge plus.I think the size and heft of this “compact” printer surprised me a bit so definitely read the dimensions information. The printer was surprisingly heavy, which is fine as long as you don`t plan on moving it much. It has a very sturdy design and seems to be built with quality in mind. I do not have much experience with other color laser jet printers (only B&W Laser and Color Ink Jet) so I am not sure how this stacks up. It is not overly large for an office or home, just bigger than i was expecting.If you are looking for a great home or small office printer that will lower your ink costs and has all the features you need and nothing you don`t I think you would be very happy with this printer.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I received this product for my unbiased opinion. SIZE: I have a small home office and I like the size of the printer, the size is small enough to fit on one side of my desk without taking up a lot of space. I am able to have the printer on one side of the desk, and it leaves me with plenty of space to be able to work on my desktop computer and have paperwork on the desk all at the same time. WEIGHT:It is a very sturdy/heavy printer – so you will definitely need a well built/strong desk or table to place the printer on. I am a 5`6″- 170LB Women and I needed help lifting the printer out the box and on to my desk. It is very heavy printer. SETUP: The set up is extremely easy. As soon as you open the box everything is marked with removable/colorful tags that tell you what to do and what to remove. It also comes with a user friendly guide that you can read that is set up with easy step by step instructions. I set up the wireless function and it was quick and easy. From the time I took it out the box to the time I was able to use it – was less that 20 minutes. INK: I really liked that it came with the ink cartridges – black and color – already installed. They seemed to be very large cartridges and will probably last a long time – depending on how much/often you print. Printing Quality & Speed: This is a wireless printer, but you can connect to it with a USB cord if needed. I really enjoy being able to print a document/documents from a different room because I setup the wireless option. I printed test documents and they came out quickly and very clear. I printed a picture using the color cartridges and it also came out clear – if I had used picture paper it would have probably been much clearer.DISLIKE: The only problem is that it only prints. It does not offer scanning or copying features. Overall if you are only looking for a sturdy, well built, desktop quality PRINTER – I believe this s a great printer.

I went back with a brother printer simply because my last one was with me for 15 years without a single hitch!
Itzel Breitenberg (verified owner) –
I literally wouldn’t keep this if it were free. images are completely illegible – not technically the right term, but trust me, it’s correct. I printed an inventory sheet of all my images and they are indistinguishable from each other. that is completely not helpful. even the type is hard to read, with lines through it making it blurry.

I wrote off color inkjets some time ago. Ink dried up; poor quality. This printer pays for itself in spades. Extremely easy to set up and produce high quality color prints that were once reserved for expensive office printers.
Luz Beatty (verified owner) –
This printer is great! I love the fact that it is a laser printer using powder instead of ink.

Bypass tray is terrible. Does not securely hold paper.

Fast, WIFI, black or color and easy setup; great features for the price.

I’ve been using Brother Laser Printers for many years. Last year the price came down enough on a COLOR laser that I decided to spend the money for color. Surprisingly the color toners are really great. Between the increased speed and the lower price of color, it is the only way to go in my opinion!

Just was I was looking for, love all the features on it.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. Fisrst let me tell you how easy it was take out of box and install.I have had about 9 printer combos from all the best manufactures since 1999.This HAS TO BE THE EASIEST to connect to my small office for my painting business.One of the best features is how quiet and efficient it is i am so tired of hearing the door bang open on my last printer .i love how compact it looks on my desk.i have done all my invoices,proposals,and have scanned with such grace i can go on forever .I am so impressed with the Brother HL-l3230CDW i would recomend it to my family friends what a pleasure to have such a great addition to my office.

I love my new printer! I will say,though, the instructions for set up are very confusing. Thank goodness my son is a computer tech at a Hugh company…but still, it took over an hour for him to walk me through the steps of setting this baby up. We used Face time, but the screen on the printer is TINY. And the set up i to Wi-Fi is confusing. VHe said Brother expected you to have taken the steps to connect to the network first. I’m not sure, but we finally got it to work! I used the website to set up since my lap top does not have a cd rom slot. But once all was said and done, I printed 30 Lost Cat posters in COLOR!! B&H WAS THE BEST TO ALERT ME WHEN THEY GOT THIS BACK IN STOCK!!

When the printer works it works well. Color output is clean and vibrant (for a laser). Don’t expect photo quality. But for graphics and text the output is very nice. Unfortunately, I regret buying this printer. It is more trouble than it is worth. I should have spent more and will likely now buy a higher end machine (probably hp) with better heavy paper handling specs and higher manual feed capacity. I’ve been using a small Brother B&W laser printer for 5 years in my home office. Prior to that I had a mid-range hp color laser printer (about twice the price of this HL-L3230). Both were extremely reliable and had very few hardware (paper jams, toner marks) or software (failed print jobs, driver compatibility) issues. Recently I needed color output so I did some research and decided to go with a color Brother machine. Obviously a color printer is more complex than a B&W machine. It is also much more expensive to buy and maintain so I therefore expect a higher degree of mechanical quality. In 2 months of ownership I’ve run numerous paper types through this new machine including varying office papers, card stocks and labels. Every paper I have used has been laser compatible according to the paper manufacturers and within the supposed capabilities of this printer (60-163 gsm). Every type of paper has jammed. Some have jammed once. Some have jammed every time. Jams have occurred in both the auto feed tray and the manual feed tray. Clearing the jams has required opening the top and removing all 4 toner cartridges. In 80% of the reported “jams” there was not any actual paper physically in the mechanism. The printer simply demanded I pull all the cartridges and reinstall them before it would continue. There are idiosyncrasies with the driver software. Suffice to say I had hoped that the mild driver frustrations I experienced with my B&W Brother machine would be improved in this newer, fancier machine. I was wrong. Virtually identical interface. Example: every time you print label you have to acknowledge not one but two dialogue boxes telling you to use the manual feed tray. My B&W machine persistently had one. I’ve asked Brother support how to disable these annoying pop-ups but nothing has worked. So if you print labels be prepared to spend a lot of time clicking [OK]…[OK]…[OK]… to finally get output. Considering the size of this machine, the manual feed tray is a joke. It is too short to support a single sheet of anything. You must push in the sheet until the feeder grabs it or else it just falls out. I also has only a single sheet capacity. Yes, I know this going in but it is more of a hindrance than I expected.

Printer is very easy to install, it works every time, seems to last forever on cartridges. Great, no hassle printer.

This is my 3rd Brother printer and I continue to be impressed I replace a older Brother printer (7 years old) my business is now requiring color printing. The printer was setup in under 10 minutes including getting it on our wireless network. Print quality and speed is amazing even in duplex mode. You will not be disappointed purchasing this printer.
