Brother HL-L3280CDW Reviews

Worthless printer

By Neurodoc1
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-04-24

This is the worst printer I have ever owned. It printed for about two week and then stopped. It sent a fake message about a jammed paper and there was none, then it told me to swipe the rider on all the INK and I did it twice (I always do it before loading)—still will not print. I used only Brother ink and it still will not print. I wish I had never purchased it. Even my son, a knowledgable computer/printer person could not get it to work. I will never buy another Brother product.

Compact Lazer color printer

Great compact color printer. But a true pain in the butt to get connected and keep connected to the wifi. Brother support site was useless in helping to fix the issue. Reddit threads were helpful.
