Always liked Brother laser printers. I'm not sure how much of the issues regarding separate drum unit and toner figure into my usage of laser printing. It can potentially be a problem for heavy duty users.

I'm using 4 desktops,3 laptops, 1 macbook pro, 1 Ipad and everybody can talk to this printer and print with no probs! 2 of the desktops are wireless as well. Brother kicked it in the azz with this machine, Brother Printers Rock baby!!!
Most of the printers we review are designed for reasonably light use in the home or a study, but Brother's HL-5470DW wireless network mono laser is aimed at small businesses or a small workgroup in a larger business.
We used the older models of printer throughout our our company for years. They used to be very good and reliable but he latest model HL-5470DW is terrible. The fuser unit overheats and the non stick coating comes off causing the paper to grip and this in turns causes a paperjam.
15 minute setup for wireless. Superfast on the network as it comes out of sleep mode really quick. You'll have to play with the settings to print duplex. Small footprint is really nice. Excellent printing on small/fine print and graphics.
brutally fast printing
wireless setup confusing to casual users
Its a bit on the expensive side for what it does, there are cheaper printers on the site that have the same functions and probably more but if you don't want to over complicate things the this Brother HL-5470DW is a good choice, Brother is a good brand for printers and its also reliable.
I really love this printer. I bought it to replace a HP Laserjet 4 that I had used since the 90s and thought I wouldn''t be able to find a comparable printer that I also loved but I was wrong because this printer is awesome.
Lightening fast; clear copies
Had to buy USB cable to hook it up as a regular (non-wireless) printer
Please be aware that this is a laser printer, and that is the only function. I bought this printer without realizing that it is not a all in one. Overall though, this printer does the job that I need. It prints at a good speed, and so far I have no issues with it.
Easy to set up; and speedy usage
No compliants so far
Had to waste over 2hours on two calls, to Brother tech support to find out that this Model Brother HL-5470DW does not support (Toner Continue Mode) like the [HL-2270DW HL2280DW HL-6180DW} supposedly does? [[[ So they built it into this model to screw-over customers and lock the printer ]]].
If Toner is Not Low; It works ok
This Printer does not support / or have (Toner Continue Mode); So it Stops Printing -Will not let you Print- when "Replace Toner Cartridge" Alert comes up....Most Laser Printers will let you continue to print (the toner just gets lighter and lighter as you use it).
I am extremely pleased with the HL 5470DW printer. I was able to link it to my wireless router with one touch. It provides clear, sharp copy. I can't begin to say enough good things about it.
