The L6200DW print quality is a bit lower, even at highest settings, but this is still a good printer. I was spoiled by the HL-5370DW,.. but you get what you pay for.

Looks like another Brother workhorse
I had a previous Brother laser printer (HL-5250DN) that was a solid workhorse for ten years. I used it in my home office and it had great print quality and the toner cartridges seemed to last forever. (I got an off-brand refilled cartridge once, but went back to Brother's own cartridges as they gave the best quality results and lasted the longest). Towards the end the paper feed began to jam with paper stuck halfway through printing. I suspect it was the drum unit reaching the end of the line. When the paper finally refused to feed at all, I decided it was time for a new printer. I could have replaced the drum unit, but that would have cost more than half the price of this new printer.
After a month of use, I am happy with this printer, which was the closest I could find to what I had previously had. I mainly chose this model because it came with Wi-fi built in (the HL-5250DN did not, and I had it hard-wired with ethernet to our home network), and it had the option of using super high-yield toner cartridges, which many other models did not. On the whole it appears to be another winner from Brother.
Some reviews have complained about heavy electrical draw, but I've not experienced that. We live in an apartment building built over 100 years ago, with not great wiring, and I have had no problem with the printer.
I give this 4 instead of 5 stars only because 1) it takes longer to print the initial page than my former printer (though it then kicks out additional pages at a fast clip), 2) the initial page sometimes (but not always) has an annoying small crease running halfways up the page (I need to trouble-shoot what's up with that), and 3) it is kind of loud in printing. I consider those minor issues.
Set-up was much more of a breeze than I expected. I did go to the Brother website and downloaded the latest drivers, but also used the included CD of drivers and set-up wizard and it found our home network Wi-fi and that was that. We have my Mac and my wife's PC on our network and both work fine with it. We've even printed from our iPhones and my iPad to it, which was a nice touch.
Bottom line: am I pleased? Yes.

Finally, a printer that doesn't wrinkle the envelopes when you print one.

Exactly what we wanted
We researched extensively for a quality black and white letter-size laser printer and the Brother HL-L6200W is exactly what we were looking for. Compact, great speed, prints well via wifi. Most importantly, low consumer with the super high toner cartridge (which we are waiting for it to be in stock). A smaller printer we looked at was not compatible with the super high toner cartridge.

Phenomenal little printer!
I have had Brother laser printers for several years but received a new HL-L6200dw for free in exchange for the review. They`re easy to set up, super economical, and they print and print and print. My previous version was not WIFI enabled and had a much smaller paper feed.
Setup was really easy. I plugged it in and turned it on. On the printer itself, I went to the networking options and went through the wireless wizard. I was slightly suprised to find the it didn`t have support for N networks so I had to have it connect to my secondary network. It takes a minute to input the password because you have to cycle through the whole alphabet to find each letter--there`s only a one line screen and limited buttons. It connects to your network and is ready to go! At this point it`s ready for airprint!
To install it on a computer, I was annoyed to find that windows doesn`t have the drivers in its library and that you need to install the ones on the disk (or download them since I have no CD drive) Since it doesn`t need scanning software or fax setup, I don`t think there`s any reason to install all the extra software on the disk.
Pros:
-520 sheet paper tray! Run out of paper and throw another ream in! I love, love, love throwing in a whole pack of paper! (the 570 max paper capacity includes the bypass tray which you won`t use for regular paper).
-wireless works great (even from the secondary network)
-fast.
-inexpensive ink with 12,000 page toners for about $120. That`s a penny a page! The drum lasts for 30,000 and is about $135 so that adds another third of a cent to a page (but a full drum is included with the printer). Including the price of this printer and two additional cartridges costs you less than 2.5 cents a page for a total cost of ownership! And it should last a lot longer than 2 TN880 cartridges! Cheap printer and cheap toner!
Cons:
-noisy. Not much more than other laserjets, but definitely noisier than an inkjet.
Conclusion:
I really liked my old wired brother printer. It`s fast, cheap, and easy to setup!

Great printer for the price!
Just as other reviews state, the printer is somewhat slow to start, but afterwards it prints very fast. The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars is because it loud! It almost is loud as an average dishwasher! My boss was not happy with that part, but I am very pleased with the printer thus far. Probably the BEST thing about this printer was the ease of set up. We have MAC's at our office and do not have CD-roms, but this printer came with very clear instructions on downloading the drivers needed for MAC's.

Great value for small office printer
This printer is definitely worth the very reasonable price. If you are looking for a black and white print-only printer that meets the needs of a small office, this is a great option. Paper capacity, print speed, and toner cartridge options (e.g., high yield) are very good for the price.

Best B/W printer. Get the RJ-45 one if you can, it's a bit faster.
