Is the Brother HL-L2300D worth it?

Yes if you mostly print text and documents and can plug it into a computer by USB. It is fast, duplexes automatically and runs on cheap toner. Skip it if you need wireless printing, scanning or color.

Does the HL-L2300D have Wi-Fi?

No. The only connection is USB, so it must be tethered to a computer or shared through a router or print server. There is no wireless or Ethernet port.

How much does it cost to print a page?

Toner costs are low for a mono laser. A high-yield cartridge prints roughly 2,600 pages, which works out to a few cents per page. Exact cost depends on the cartridge price you pay.

Can it print double-sided automatically?

Yes. The HL-L2300D has automatic duplex printing, so it flips pages itself for two-sided documents. That saves paper on long print jobs.

What comes in the box?

The printer, a starter toner cartridge, a power cord, a USB cable and setup documentation. The starter cartridge holds less toner than a full retail cartridge.

When is the HL-L2300D cheapest?

It is an older budget model, so it goes on sale around back-to-school and holiday periods. Check its price history before buying; a price near the low end of its recent range is a good time to buy.

Our take on the Brother HL-L2300D Compact Personal Monochrome Laser Printer

The Brother HL-L2300D is a compact monochrome laser printer built for one job: fast, cheap text printing. It puts out up to 26 pages per minute with automatic two-sided printing and a first page in under 8.5 seconds from ready. It connects by USB only, so it needs to sit near a computer or a print server. It is a long-running budget model, and its price has stayed in the low-to-mid hundreds over the past year, so any drop below that band is a real deal.
