 Brother HL-5250 DNT Laser Printer August 9, 2008
Great printer by Brother. Easy to set up and start printing. Excellent print quality. Works with both Classic (OS 9.2) and OSX on Mac.
Yes, there's duplexing with the Mac March 11, 2008

This is a terrific printer--fast, virtually trouble free, high quality output. I had the older 5170DN before, but it died, so I replaced it with the 5280DW which is the same as the 5250DNT but with the wireless feature. In response to the reviewer who said the 5250DNT duplexing only works with Windows: The duplexing function for the Mac is accessed through the printer driver>layout options. Choose Printer>Presets>Layout>Left-sided Binding. I have no complaints with the operations or output for the printer, but the Brother documentation leaves MUCH to be desired. After reading the CD documentation I called tech support with about 10 questions not adequately addressed in it. Also, I had to call tech support to get the wireless properly set up. Tech support was very good, though I had to wait for it. I purchased a second full paper tray which is great for recycling and added convenience. The Mac recognized it instantly; no software setup was required because it's all built into the printer driver. This printer lets you have it just about any way you want it in regards to DPI, tray/feed sequences, overall print quality (Brother's Photo, Graphic, or Generic), but you have to explore the options in the Print Settings. All your settings can be saved and named to provide the choices you want when you click "Print." I reiterate: A terrific printer.
A great printer reasonably priced January 23, 2008

I bought this printer to replace my old trusted Apple Laser 360 because I could not find reliable ink cartridges for the Apple. Installation and networking were incredibly easy with the Brother HL5250. The instructions are very easy to follow, and the machine works beautifully, without any problems. The HL-5250 is quiet and printing is clear, and fast. I can also say that there is no curling of the paper, as has been reported in some reviews of this machine. I am extremely pleased with this printer!

I performed an exhaustive search for the right mono laser printer. I landed the Brother HL-5250DNT, and I couldn't be happier.
Here's what I was looking for during my search.
1) Speed (first page and pages per minute)
2) Image quality
3) Economic consumables
4) Connectivity (USB and parallel minimum, networkable a plus)
5) Expandability
6) Duplex printing a big plus
7) Size - nothing too huge
8) Quiet
Here's what I got.
1) I am amazed at how fast this printer is. It prints the first page almost immediately. Wakes up from sleep mode instantly and prints quickly. Great PPM speed.
2) Excellent quality text and graphics. Photos print out very well with no banding.
3) Toner cartridge has good page rating (3,500 @ 5%) and replacements are relatively inexpensive. High yield cart is about $50 for 7,000 pages @ 5%.
4) Comes with USB, parallel, and Ethernet - the triple play
5) Expandability - it already comes with a second paper tray (about $50 more than the model without the tray. Separately, the tray is about $120) Holds an amazing 550 pages. Also accepts up to 512MB additional memory in easy access slot.
6) I fell in love with duplex printing. I keep duplex on all the time. Cuts paper use almost in half (some printouts have odd number of pages to print).
7) Nice footprint. Fits nicely on desktop. Solid, but not very heavy.
8) Zero noise in sleep mode. Much quieter than my Minolta when printing. Love it.
I was impressed at how easy it was to set up. Load the Vista drivers (yes, a Vista CD is included), plug in the printer, and you're golden. Printed flawlessly the first time. Setup program let me designate the second paper tray. Just make sure you load the CD before you hook up the printer. Lots of flexibility with setup options. Driver/utilities do not take up a large amount of disk space. Much better than HP software clogging up the system.
Regarding page curl, I am using a basic 20lb paper (Boise) and the page curl is marginal. Definitely not annoying. In fact, lie the paper flat after printing, and it flattens out quickly. Very slight curl on premium 24lb paper (Hammermill).
If you need to print large docs, this printer is definitely a workhorse. Over several years, the price difference between this and a "personal" laser printer will be insignificant. Go with the solid workhorse and don't look back.

Over several decades, have purchased printers from Brother company. Each has been trouble-free, and all remain in operatonal condition. Other brands have good products, but none better than Brother.
Only slight negative for this latest purchase is that instructions seem rather limited relevant to initial installation. However, installation and operational features worked perfectly from initial installation.
