Lot more features than my older previous model. Like the option to print 2-sided, etc. Item I haven't figured out for sure - when putting paper in manual feed, doesn't appear to automatically recognize it. Have to go into print properties and tell it to use manual feed.

I bought this as a printer for our winter condo. My CD drive is broken in the condo computer. So, I was unable to install the printer, which can be installed only by CD. Very disappointed. Will take it to my regular home and hook it up to my other computer there because sending it back is a hassle.

I've upgraded through three low-end Brother laser printers, from a basic simplex model to duplex, and now to one that (sort-of) supports Google Cloudprint. Alas, there is a bug with the Cloudprint feature such that the printer "signs out" and goes offline after a few days.

The latest printer to hit the market is Brother HL-5450D N, which has been added with some advanced functions and features. This new monochrome laser printer does come with low memory and lacks wireless connectivity. It has been included with status lights instead of an LCD-based menu system.

Excellent paper handling; Affordable; Compact size; Good printing quality

Lacks Wi-Fi; No LCD-based menu system

Compare to other printer, it is very good price. Still I don't suggest it because the two problems: Stupid to print double size, when there in only one page; Instant high power flush can cause power damage. Many times the power panel off.

The $199 Brother HL-2270DW laser monochrome printer earned a place on CNET's Top Printers list for its budget-friendly price tag and simple design. The company's latest monochrome laser, the HL-5450DN, improves on that model, adding cloud printing and Ethernet networking for $199.

The Brother HL-5450DN is built for busy small offices with Ethernet networking and cloud access through Apple AirPrint; Google Cloud Print; and Brother's iPrint&Scan smartphone app

The iPrint&Scan app can't print PDFs more than 20 pages; nor does it support legacy models like the popular HL-2270DW

The Brother HL-5450DN is a fast and functional mono laser printer that means business.

Similar in many ways to the Brother HL-5470DW , the Brother HL-5450DN is just different enough to make it worth a separate look. In essence, it's a stripped-down version of the same printer, with less memory (which, in theory, can affect speed), no Wi-Fi, and status lights instead of an LCD-based...

Duplexer and 300-sheet capacity standard, 800-sheet maximum; Ethernet; Low running cost

Although acceptably fast; particularly for the price; it's slower than you might expect for the rated engine speed

I bought this printer mainly for iPad. Setup was a breeze and works great. Print quality as expected with a laser printer. Airprint feature on this printer is great for iPad/iPhone use and print outs comes out exactly the same as you would normally with a PC.

airprint compatibility

none

Overall I am very happy with my purchase. Typically I do a lot of research before buying. Ultimately I decided on the HL-5450DN and PCNATION hit the right price point.

I replaced my aged HP 6p with the HL-5450DN; The Brother is FAST and the printing looks nice and concise along with the graphics

Kinda noisy but when it kicks in it races through the job; Also, Air Print was listed as a feature but you have to be configured in a network for it to work.
