Brother 5250

Can anyone tell me of they have one of these printers and how does it work for you? Where do you get replacement cartridges and the best price for them?

I usually go to a website for my HP printers, but this site does not stock this model of brother. (office supply outfitters)

Any news is better than no news.

Thanks for your help

I have 2 of them and they are great printers. Fast, affordable and with the second tray, perfect for this business.

I refill the toner carts for about $15.00 each. I buy most of my supplies form E-bay. There are several other places to get good deals also.

Good Morning!


Here's Brother's Corp. website (for new product information):

Http://www.brother-usa.com/printer/printer_ataglance_psvar=ZPRINTER_GEN_PRS2.aspx

You can also checkout there *refurbished dept at:

Http://www.brothermall.com

*[Note: Purchased both a Business-Class 4100 Laser Fax/Printer
and Brother 8025D Flatbed Legal-size, Printer/Scanner/Copier. Both came with
the same warranties as the new machines. Works fine. No problems!]


However, for toners etc. . . I purchase mine through e-Bay
(have found some great deals).

I added memory and I believe it helps some. Yes, I got it from e-bay as well!

I have the Brother HL 5250DNT

I LOVE the printer. It's fast and dependable. I too get the tonor refills for about $15 a pop.

The only thing that I find is that if you use the CHEAPEST of the copy papers, the pages will curl.

Re: I have the Brother HL 5250DNT

You are correct JB, however I think it is the paper not the printer that causes this. It happens on my HP as well.

This printer also has a duplexer built in.
