Color Laser Printer with Wireless Printing Fast 19 PPM Output, Duplex Feature, Mobile Device Compatible, 250-Sheet Paper Tray for Professional Home Office Printing (HL-L3220CDW)

I had an older (discontinued) Dell Color Laser Printer that failed after six (6) years of somewhat regular use. I had to find a replacement, that would come along with a corresponding commitment to a new but dependable brand. This printer received excellent reviews from independent sources, and DEFINITELY performs as advertised. It is fully featured (with what one expects from a modern color laser printer). I got it for a good price from Amazon.com. It hasn't jammed yet, is not overly noisy, and seems to digest all of the different sizes and thicknesses of paper (and envelopes) that I throw at it. It connected to my network seamlessly and works just as well on the network as it does via the USB cable. The Duplex Printing Feature is saving me paper. The interface for Windows 11 is very functional and efficient. I have had it for four weeks, and it appears to be very economical with the toner use; and the (B&W and Color) output are excellent. VERY PLEASED. Definitely worthy of 5-Stars.

This Brother Color Laser Printer is HEAVY (It says so in BIG LETTERS right on the box!) not so much you can't lift it, but dropping it would be a DISASTER. It might weigh 50 lbs, so you might want some help moving it around. The (included and already installed) BK C M Y toners are High-Yield, good for thousands of prints, and the included printed setup directions easy with clear diagrams on what to open, take out, and to remove shipping tags and plastic protectors. So far though, turning the printer on and pushing the right buttons for the prompts on the LED display is mysterious. (There's a handbook for this printer I'll have to download!) I didn't do enough research and the printer will ONLY work with Windows 10 & 11 32&64 bit, Mac OS and Linux, so my W7pro computer "To be printed files" are being downloaded to a nice new Windows 10 pro i7 with massive storage and RAM before I can do any printing. Getting the installation and setup programs is easy, (setup.brother.com) but none of that information is useful without at least a Windows 10 system that's compatible with the drivers. I got this printer because an ink-jet just doesn't have the quality for a long-lasting print, no matter what kind of paper it's printed on. A laser print on good paper will last for hundreds of years. That's value. A good reason for my purposes, but I also like the USB-connected printing capability (which it has) and don't like WiFi for the security concerns. (Two Days later) On the Windows 10 pro computer the Brother Color Laser installation was over and done with quickly. I had downloaded the "full" install version that includes the driver. The installation gave me the option of USB or WiFi and after that it was done. I just printed a photograph in rich darks and contrasting light tones from the open document in Photoshop 9. There was NO problem in recognizing the printer. The print only took about 10 seconds and came out beautifully, like the picture I took with amazing, perfect, details and exactly delicate colors and contrast. I had just resized it from 28 x 22 @ 180 to 10.5 x 8 @180 for normal A4 paper and printed, just to see what it would do. It prints Art! I thought this would be a good idea, but it's even better than I thought.

Seriously, the most ridiculous and cumbersome set up (that still doesn't work on a Mac OR a PC) that I have ever encountered. I followed all the instructions, all devices are on the same network, the printer printed ONCE from a Mac and now all I get are error notices. Brother Support is terrible with very convoluted info on their support page. I'm about ready to pack this up and return it. What a disappointment because I have three other Brother devices and they work GREAT. Not this one, plus the Deep Sleep feature is really a terrible inconvenience. UPDATE: Tried to contact customer support, the wait time was 30 minutes, with no call-back feature. So I went to ChatGPT to get help with the setup. Even though I had updated the firmware and downloaded the appropriate "EasySetUp" package, the devices would not connect. I did a hard reboot on both, still nothing. Eventually, the PC recognized the printer after multiple attempts. The Mac, however, kept giving me an "invalid certificate" error. Not much help on the Brother Support Page. Once again, I went to ChatGPT for help. I had to: 1) create a Self Signed Certificate; 2) Export the certificate to my Mac; 3) Open the Mac Keychain 4) Drag the certificate into the certificate menu; 5) Open the "Trusted" certificate menu item and make the certificate always trusted. Then I reset the whole printing system and reinstall the other printers on the network. Once all this was done, the printer produced excellent copies. But sadly, if you're a Mac user, you may encounter all kinds of weird stuff with this. Brother needs to update their support page for Mac users or at least do something to make it easier to install on the Tahoe OS. I suggest they use some AI to get the full picture. UPDATE 12/25: Now the stupid machine doesn't even recognize its own default password...so no updates for me! I followed all the "instructions" about reseting the darn thing, but it didn't work. Apparently this password issue is very common for Brother. NOW I have to reset the whole system, including the cumbersome wifi set-up. Probably will have create a new security certificate. Don't buy this machine if you're not relentless in fixing technical problems. They just keep happening over and over.

Great printer, easy to use and set up, no problems and prints great. Been using for 4 months without issues. The color ink that comes with it lasts for a long time. The black ink lasted an ok amount but easy to replace with large capacity cartridge

Excelente producto trabaja muy bien solo que no trabaja si un toner se le terminó

After comparing several Brother color laser models (the L3220CDW, L3230CDW, and the higher-end L3280CDW), I ultimately chose the HL-L3220CDW because the feature differences simply didn’t justify the extra cost for my specific needs. I print mainly color documents, charts, travel paperwork, and occasional forms — not photos — so I prioritized reliability, low maintenance, and clean text output over advanced features. Setup & Connectivity (A+) Setup was exceptionally simple. I purposely did not install Brother’s full software suite because it usually includes unnecessary utilities. Instead, I connected the printer to my Wi-Fi network directly from the control panel. Within seconds: Windows 11 PC detected it via Wi-Fi and installed the built-in Windows driver macOS (Mac Mini M4) immediately recognized it via AirPrint iPhone also picked it up automatically using AirPrint No USB cable required, no CD, no bloatware. Everything worked flawlessly across all devices. Print Quality (For Color Documents) For what this machine is designed for — text, graphics, and business documents — the output is very clean. Text is sharp, color blocks are consistent, and toner adhesion is solid on standard 20–24 lb paper. Again, it’s not meant for photo printing, and that’s perfectly fine for me. Why I Switched From Inkjet My old inkjet required a cleaning cycle almost every time I printed, especially after a few days of inactivity. The clogged heads and wasted ink drove me to finally switch to a laser. The HL-L3220CDW completely eliminates that problem. It can sit idle for weeks and still print instantly with no maintenance. Noise & Speed First page out is fast for a color laser of this size Print engine is reasonably quiet Warm-up time is minimal For a compact unit, performance is excellent. Toner Costs The only downside is the price of original OEM toner. A full set of four cartridges costs almost the same as the printer itself. For that reason, I will be using third-party toners once the originals run out. I’ve had years of trouble-free experience with generic toners in other printers, so I’m not concerned. Final Thoughts Picked it up on a Black Friday sale, which made the value even stronger. If you need a compact, dependable, low-maintenance color laser primarily for documents — and you’re tired of clogged inkjet heads — this model is a fantastic choice. Easy setup, great compatibility across devices, and solid performance make it a very good buy. UPDATE : After a few weeks of usage ; Still love the machine, however the pages are very curled when the come out of the printer ; it also has a rear exit path , this reduces the curl effect slightly.

Es una impresora que funciona perfectamente, se puede configurar para ahorrar toner al máximo, los toners son un poco caros pero sabiendo utilizarla y configurarla es muy buena. La calidad de impresión es perfecta.

Continues to just print. Last week I felt really sorry when I saw someone had discarded an inkjet printer box from another brand, they're going to be paying through the nose for ink, suffering DRM nonsense and awful required software on their computers... not with this one. This is my third Brother printer - first was replaced with a colour printer, and is still running though about 10 years old now. This one is for another location and is just as good. Setup was simple and everything just works, Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS all detected and printed first try!

Un excelente producto, fácil instalación, no necesita que descargues drivers automáticamente se instala en la computadora así como la configuración de la misma imprime dúplex sencillo tarda un poco en procesar pero una vez comenzando a imprimir no hay ningún tipo de pausa y la velocidad es bastante buena.
