Our take on the Brother HL-L8260CDW

The Brother HL-L8260CDW is a color laser printer built for offices that print a lot in both black and color. It prints at 31 pages per minute in either mode, does automatic two-sided printing, and connects over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB and AirPrint. It is a printer and copier only, with no scanner or document feeder, so it suits a desk or workgroup that already has a copier or scanner. Against color laser rivals it stands out for speed and paper handling rather than features, and owners rate its output and running costs while noting its size and noise.

Questions and answers

Does it scan or copy?
It copies, but it has no scanner and no document feeder, so it cannot scan or fax. Pair it with a separate scanner if you need one.
Can it print double-sided automatically?
Yes. Automatic duplex is built in, so you do not flip pages by hand.
How does it connect?
It has Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB, AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, so it works from wired networks, phones and tablets.
What paper can it handle?
The main tray holds 250 sheets, and a bypass slot takes envelopes, labels and heavier stock. It supports A4, Letter, Legal, Folio, Executive, A5 and A6.
Is it good for photos?
No. It is a document printer; text and graphics look sharp, but photos are not its strength.
How does it compare with the HL-L8360CDW?
The L8360CDW adds a touchscreen and faster output, while this model keeps the same 31 ppm engine and duplex printing for less. Choose this one if you do not need the touchscreen.
What do buyers say about the Brother HL-L8260CDW?
Rated 4.1 out of 5 from 388 ratings.
