Summary: Super Printer in all respects!
Review: If anyone has had enough of the wet, low quality prints of any inkjet, this printer is your dream come true. Like most users, I almost never need color. This printer works excellent on any paper, for pennies a print.I have used it with great success connected directly to my win2000 pc as well as networked with a jetDirect external print server to all my pc's (including winxp). Windows update provides an updated windows driver. I paid 250.00 elsewhere and it has been the most valuable upgrade I have ever purchased.

Summary: Great Printer - for about 6 months
Review: I debated between the HL-1440, Samsung ML1250, and an HP model (1000?). The HP was out of the running early because I found sales on the Brother and Samsung but not on the HP. I read good and bad things about both printers....I have yet to experience any problems with the HL-1440. I was concerned about paper jams, but I've had no problems at all. A great overall printer (much better than my Lexmark inkjet), especially at that sale price. *** update *** Watch out for this printer - I started experiencing gray pages after about 6 months. Brother's web site says the only way to fix the problem is by replacing the toner cartridge. This completely negates the reason for me buying a laser printer (lower cost per page) because I was no where near through the toner cartridge. For now, I am living with gray pages. I'm not sure that I will bother replacing it - might just switch to a different printer.

Summary: For the money, you can't beat it!
Review: In terms of bang for the buck, you can't beat it. Easy to setup in Windows 2000, slightly more challenging to setup in Windows XP since you need to go get drivers. Not a big deal. Print quality is great for home/small office use. My only complaint was the power thing. It drains electricity when it's running and causes the lights to dim in the room. Good foot-print and bottom paper feed works well. I've seen too may top feed printers jam after light use. I'd buy another Brother 1440 if I needed it.

Summary: Buying a World of Trouble
Review: This would be a real deal -- if only it was compatible with Windows XP, which it is not. Before you buy it, use a good search engine to find user comments, and you'll discover that (1) Brother is still negotiating with Microsoft over XP drivers, and (2) Brother's support is non-existent. Even their website is useless. Not good.

Summary: Switched from HP to Brother
Review: PROS:
-Best price/performance ratio.
-Good image quality and beautiful text output.
-Economical to use; only $ .02 per page.
-Small size and compact footprint--fits nicely under my desk.
-FAST & QUIET, No more inkjet hassels. CONS:
-2 megabytes of memory is not enough. (However, upgrading to 10 megabytes is very easy and costs less than $10.00).
-Separate toner and drum cartridge may be cheaper, but is more annoying to change. I have used HP Laserjets for the past 15 years and I was very leary of switching to Brother. However, I can now say that I am glad that I made the switch. This is one of the fastest printers I have owned, and, for the price, it beats HP flat-out. The text and image quality is great. I have not found that the 1200dpi resolution makes a big difference in print quality and it takes much longer to print than at 600dpi. I added an additional 8 megabytes of RAM to the printer because the initial 2 was insufficient for printing large images. It was very easy to do and cost less than $10.00 on ebay. Finally, this printer is very economical to use. If you buy the high capacity toner refill it is only .02 per page for the life of the toner cartridge and drum.

Summary: Don't trust brother printer!
Review: This concerns not exactly this Printer-Modell but the HL 1030 and HL 1240: I own both and have same problems with toner spread over the paper. This turns the hole Paper from white to gray. For concept-quality you can use it but not for office recommendations.
Don't buy it! Take HP!

Summary: Solid Performer - Sturdy Construction
Review: I've had the printer for a few months, and have generally been pleased. It's quiet, pops out the pages quickly, and with great detail. The only problems I've had have cropped up lately--it seemed to have a problem pulling up paper from the tray, which was solved by flipping the papers around and shuffling them. Also some [apparent] software conflicts with my iMac with it hanging up during a print job--but I haven't had a computer yet that didn't have some kind of software conflict eventually. It was nice to have substantial documentation and support for Mac. There are cheaper printers out [I considered the Samsung] but I didn't think they would last as long or be as reliable as the Brother. So far so good.

Summary: Excellent Buy
Review: It is the best printer for the money. You can spend ...less and buy and HP 1000 but you will not get printer port support. The printer also has great support for HP formats. It works well as an HP 4 and above printer. The HP laserjet only produces very bad prints but it still does print. As for the quality of regular prints. Well, I find it to be effective and fast. The drivers are well writen an offer great options. I will say that one of the few problems come when you send to much information. It seems to loose control and not process if you are sending to much. It needs better support from memory manufacturers (kingston) when you look for upgrades and the toner box is a bit hard to find in the store because of how plain the box is. I recommend it for home and small office use anytime.
