5 out of 5 stars Great printer at a bargain price.......2003-09-01

When my 3 years old Brother Laser printer started producing smudged prints I found out the cost of replacing the drum assembly.
The Brother 1230 was selling for less than the price of that drum. I got a new printer for less than the price of its consumables - cannot beat that.

Printer itself is very reliable; Fast enough for all my needs; compact and quite.

2 out of 5 stars Brother - Never Again.......2003-05-06

Review written for the Brother 1440 but it applies to this one as well.

I purchased 2 printers for my office of 14 people. We already have a Hewlett Packard. From day one this printer has been an absolute nuisance. It takes approximately 6 minutes for any job to reach the printer, and an additional 3 minutes for multiple pages to print. Don't even bother to attempt the manual tray. You have to manually hold the paper till the printer decides to grab it, then wait another 6 minutes for it to print.
Once there is a jam - which happens often, or any sort of disruption with the print job, you have to turn the printer off for a few minutes to clear the memory, and send it again. If not, the error light will continue to flash even after the problem (jam, replenish paper etc.) has been resolved. My staff members have all gone back to printing to the HP; and this, along with the other new printer, a Brother HL-1230, sit idly by.

Brother - never again

4 out of 5 stars I just wish it could duplex!.......2003-05-04

It's amazing that such a simple and inexpensive printer can do such a good job. It's quiet, fast, and reliable. What more can you ask? I only wish it could duplex, but hey...

5 out of 5 stars Very good price / performance.......2003-04-14

It is the best price in this level laser printer

5 out of 5 stars Great inexpensive printer.......2003-04-08

You just can't beat the price. Plus the fact that it has a tray for the paper is great. NEVER get a printer that is gravity fed. It never fails that eventually, the printer will develop a habit of trying to grab more than one sheet of paper. You rarely get this behavior with tray fed printers. The only downside to this printer is that you can't upgrade the memory and that it has no printer language. This is a GDI based printer where the printer driver on the desktop does all the page layout then basically shoots an image to the printer. If you have a DOS machine, this may not work for you. But for Windows based system - this prints FAST.
