- Brother DCP-L2541DW Auto Duplex Laser Printer With 30 PPM Print Speed, Multifunction Print Scan Copy, Automatic Document Feeder, 2 in 1 ID Copy Button, (WIFI, WIFI Direct, LAN, USB), Free Installation

I've ordered this multi function device for my home need and it does a fantastic job. Mostly I am using it for my kid's school assignments. The print quality, duplex printing option, Copy & scan function, Admin tool, etc is simply superb. It's easy to unpack, easy to install. The quality of the print is so neat. Device does not heat up too much and it's noise free operation. Wireless printing option is the added advantage because of which I can place the printer wherever I want and not necessarily in my working table. Initially I had some trouble in setting up the scanner function (it's my bad that I have used WiFi router's different frequency band in my laptop and in the printer so the scan was not working). I did not have time to explore by reading the [online] manuals so I casually emailed the customer care team just in case if they can send me a reply. Surprisingly, within 2 hours I got a call from them and they have assisted me in screen-sharing mode of all complete set of options available in all functions, the features, setting up various printing options, etc. It was like a one simple online demo. I am super happy and satisfied with this purchase. I will definitely recommend.

I bought the Brother DCP L2541DW laser printer a few days back. I am really impressed by its performance. This is my first Brother product, and I was really apprehensive to switch brands because I have been a fan of another brand for many years. However, my experience with Brother multifunction printer amazed me. The quality, ease of use and intuitive features are some of the advantages that I have noticed. It has wi-fi, auto duplex printing and many other features. If you own a small business or if you are a home user who has lot of print, scan, photocopy requirements, I would definitely recommend this Brother printer. It is affordable and easy to use. If you are a bit tech savvy, you can set it up yourself.

This is a fantastic printer, I would have given it 5 star, but it does not have its own driver, it relies on a mac or windows driver. As the Mac Airprint driver is no good, you cannot control the shades of grey, the printer is no good for printing photos or jpgs.

*WARNING*: Amazon does not accept returns on this product. If you see the return button option, it will not accept it, rather the call will go to Amazon customer service which will say that returns are not possible. So the return button is highly misleading. Once you buy, you are going to be stuck with this product. As for the printer: It's problematic when a bygone era product is disguised as "WiFi" printer. Setup of WiFi is torturous. Connecting is painstakingly difficult. Keep the connection on is chore. The printer randomly goes to sleep mode. WIFI once connected, forgets the connection, you have to go through the whole process again. Who have designed this monstrosity? If you are thinking that this is a WiFi printer: It's not easy to use the WiFi! Pros: Seems well made from outside. Test print had good quality. That is the only pro. Cons are many: WiFi printing is a hilarious joke. Not possible for average user, i would say difficult for even a little tech savy user. WiFi printing by Android is very difficult and does not work fast. If you want 5 copies, printer will keep displaying recieving data for eons, and then print one. The next one will then start ' recieving data' for a while and print. I was wrinting this review, and for being silent for a 5 mins the printer printed the 5th copy. Brother customer service in Pune: 3 phone numbers, none of them working. Brother customer service number : call any time you are 10th in the line. I tried to solve the problem by diving deep in my router settings, YouTube videos, internet forums etc. However can a average person have time to do this? Also why should I do this in the first place. I paid more that 17k to do hours of search? I have never reviewed a product this badly. And I can't even return this.

I would like to assure everyone, who are thinking to purchasing this printer. This is one of the best printer, that could be available at this price range, in the category of monochrome. All the other brands in monochrome printers, have all the fancy features but they are not robust. The cartridge they use is a chip based and offers less print than the claims made. And additional, if the chip gets a problem, you spend extra to get it repaired. And they make printers in such a fashion, that they are dated in some years, so that you buy another one. Brother printer offers you robust printing, scanning, photocopying with auto duplex. Per print cost comes about 0.19 Indian Paisa. They have bit slow services but a reliable one. This printer lasts so longer, with minimal expenses. Worth buying for office, personal, academic purposes.

Excellent printer

After using for few months, here is the key feedback to help my fellow buyers. 1. price is okay 2. product material is not attractive. does not look like it is worth 14.5K 3. packing was okay 4. more importantly for those who are looking for Wifi/Remote - setup was not easy, one need to do 2 to 3 times to remember. 2-line screen is not a great help. if setup fails, it prints a status report, which is annoying and not needed. it does this everytime something is good or bad. wastes lot of papers - on each device (laptop), one needs to install the drivers (you can download) from their website. it installs a çontrol center - a menu driven scan application on desktop. - good way to scan to laptop remotely is - open control center on desktop, keep your paper on the scan glass and then click on scan. - you can set scanning resolution 600dpi is ok and works fast. if you opt 1200dpi then sit their for a while.. its too slow. so decide which needs which resolution before scanning. - you can scan continuously pages but by checking the box in control center on scan. I tried via FILE option - i was not successfully to scan through ADF. - I tried once to scan on my mobile . it was successful but after a tough time. so one needs to practice and remember trial results. I am yet to gain the confidence. - more technology means more learning and remember settings. - the printer and mobile/laptop have to be on the same WIFI. I do not if this is intelligent enough to remember more than one WIFI. - once check the status of WIFI connection, sometimes notices it becomes inactive though WIFI is on. There is a WIFI button, which glows. but honestly did not understood its use. I felt more problem on pressing as it can reset the WIFI connection. So, friends, play little bit by spending half to 1 day and take worth of the machine. Now about printing: - it prints with decent quality. prints one side and also two side (choose long flip). This control you can do from the printing options on your desktop about Scanner: - is only A4 size. you can scan one side from glass or from ADF. the door action is little uncomfortable perhaps we have to adjust to that. - this is big machine so place it at comfortable location, height for ease of use and enjoy. Over all a good machine. but gave average rating because it is giving what it should do for its price. WIFI, scanning, some of the features could have be easy for the user. Did not like the machine built - looks cheap.could have used a better material. should have provided a cover for that price. I have using this for my personal use and I use it rarely. Brought this because I needed a good printer to print 2-side and scan/print remotely (a true all in one multifunction) Thanks for reading.

Very good printer value for money
