... I would describe as rude and unhelpful. This printer was listed as a best Buy. It is not. Worst Buy would be my description. I resorted to it again as an emergency when my HP inkjet broke down during the guarantee period and had to be replaced. Two drums produced completely unsatisfactory results and the third older drum worked with only four black spots on the edge. I will never buy another Brother printer again ! I will not even take one for free unless the toner is already in it and th ...more

This printer proved not to be fit for the job it was intended for. Some faults with the model: 1) Picture quality was very poor, worse than a HP 5L the much earlier printer which it replaced. Faults with my printer: 2) Toner did not print nearly the number of pages it claimed to, less than half 3) After the toner ran out the drum developed a fault and all the pages came out with obstrusive black lines and smudges, resolved by a new drum, but each time the toner ran out, a new drum was required 4) Black specks were easily laid on to the paper. Although easy (laborious) to clean it was easy to get dirty. Not all the black ... Read the complete review

The Brother HL-1050 is a fairly good laser printer. I've had mine for two and a half years and in that time I've had no problems with it until recently. It can be connected via either parallel port or USB, comes with 4MB of memory and has a claimed print speed of 10ppm with a maximum resolution of 1200x600dpi. It is fast and handles text superbly and graphics adaquately. Toner cartridges are twenty five quid a throw and last a couple of thousand pages (I think) depending on print density and stuff like that. The printer driver offers a useful little window that opens and tells you the status of the printer (if it's asleep, if the toner is low, if ... Read the complete review

The Brother HL 1050 is a pretty standard printer, that's not an insult! The 1050 deos everthing most other printers can do, with the exception it deos it well!!! If you are looking for a nice standard printer with a load of thrills then this is your printer! It gives a good quality print very quickly! It is a good network printer for small to medium companies as it is quick, clear and holds alot of paper! I don't actually have anything bad to say about the 1050 except that it's boring! - Sorry I had to find something wrong with it! Overall I very nice printer!!! ... Read the complete review
