This Is an AWESOME laser printer for under $100 (if you get the Amazon "used" selection, which actually isn't used at all. It just has a slightly damaged box, nothing more). This printer has WAY more features than what 99% of people want or need: fax, print, scan, copy, duplex printing, wireless Print/Scan/Copy, print from computer or smartphone, multiple copy style defaults like 4 pages to one, or 6 to one, adjustments to size, to contrast, to type, etc, etc, etc. Too many things to list. I bought this to replace a 15 year old HP inkjet printer that I had nursed and nursed. Wish I had changed sooner because this thing was painless. Even my wife was impressed, as she probably prints 150 coupons a week, and needs a reliable printer.
Speaking of which, I had this set up for wireless laser prints within 15 minutes, from my 6 year old MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.5 and also from my 4 year old iPhone 5 running iOS 9.3. Didn't use any new software, didn't download (except for the iPhone iOS app), didn't use the CD. I'm really not sure what the others are complaining about, since it is almost stupid-proof. I think it actually has 5 or 6 independent methods to "connect" to your wireless devices (computer, phone, router, etc.), and then there is the old stand-by, the ubiquitous USB cable. But I just followed their VERY simple directions for wirelessly setting up for wireless printing (sounds funny) and, voila, it has worked flawlessly ever since. Also, relating to those who are having the "sleep" issues (I TRIED to make the printer not work and it wakes even from DEEP sleep (not sure why they have sleep mode and DEEP sleep, but, I digress)), there is a firmware update for you.
There is also a simple web interface with their printer that you can use to change how it connects to the internet, your router, other devices, get firmware updates, gives device status, sets sleep time, auto power off time, maintenance information like toner left, life left in drum unit, and many more...
Printing is fast, quiet, clean and crisp. Use high quality 22lb or 24lb bright-white paper, and you'll be impressed. Especially when you "count the costs" and find that it's less than a penny a page. Order the compatible toner cartridge for $10 and you'll never look back. Even a new drum unit (which is generally quite pricey), is about $18 for an aftermarket unit, and you'll only need that after 12,000 pages!!

Good Printer, Problem with Wireless Printing [UPDATED]
I wanted a reliable laser printer to use at home. I always used inkjet printers in the past, but became increasingly disappointed in my last one that would constantly smear and smudge ink and have paper jams. After doing some research I settled on this Brother DCPL2520DW wireless laser printer/scanner/copier.The printer itself is rather large, but fit comfortably on my desk. It prints quickly and the print quality is sharp. Also, since it uses toner, the print doesn't smudge.Setup was fairly easy and involved simply downloading the drivers for my MacBook, using the menu on the printer to connect it to my wireless network, and then added the printer in my Mac's settings. Once it was connected, it showed up immediately as an AirPrint printer on my iPhone.However, connecting it to the network initially and keeping it on that network are two different stories. I've found that when the printer enters Deep Sleep mode, it's very hit or miss as to whether or not it will respond to a print job from my Mac, and it doesn't show up at all as AirPrint printer on my phone. The only way I've found to rectify this is to restart the printer; then it immediately picks up the job in the queue and begins printing, and also shows up again on my phone.For that reason, I've knocked it down two stars.PROS - Great price for a laser printer/scanner/copier - Easy setup - Prints quickly and beautifullyCONS - Complete gamble as to whether or not you'll be able to print wirelessly from your computer or phone*****UPDATE*****After updating the printer's firmware using the firmware tool from Brother (which I had to restart the printer for it to pick up), I can now report that I no longer have a problem with wireless printing after the printer enters deep sleep. For this reason, I've increased my star count to 4.
