Duration of ownership: 6 Months

Strengths: fast speed, low cost per page and for the printer, reprint feature, good text quality

Weaknesses:setup is annoying if you don't know IP addresses, heavy, only ok picture quality

Overall Evaluation: considering my old printer (a Canon Pixma iP1500, which is the worst printer of all time probably), it is a great upgrade. I have it hooked up to a Trendnet TEW-452BRP router and then have the computers hooked up wirelessly and hard-wired to the router. The main thing I want to point out is that you will want to do the advanced configuration for the network setup, and you get the IP address from the printer by hitting cancel till the screen says sleep on a green background and then you hit OK 3 times and on the final page you will find the IP address of the printer and you should use that for the printer setup. (The steps you choose are the model (HL-4040CN), language, install printer driver (if its already set up) or initial printer setup (if its the first time setting it up), accept the terms and conditions, peer to peer (if you have a setup like me), the second option which you type in the IP address, and finally let the printer install the drivers.) The automatic way is ok, its just that it messed up for me

Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

Strengths: Fast print speed * easy setup * low cost consumables * cost

Weaknesses:Heavy * light blacks * sub-par photo output

Overall Evaluation: As a little background, I am not new to color laser printers. My first was a Tektronix 740N which set the bar really high. It was and is a great printer and I recommend it to anyone that is serious about quality prints. My current printer is a Xerox 6120 which for the money couldn't be beat (~$160 with full toner set). The HL-4040CN was purchased for my office to use, when our old HP inkjet printer took a turn for the worse. It was going to be too much money to buy parts, so it was only logical to move to a color laser. We were looking for a printer that was mainly 1) competitively priced, 2) offered quality output, 3) could handle a moderate load of printing, and 4) overall low operating cost. Our expectations were met with this color laser. It's fast print speed (we average 20ppm black and about 5ppm color) works for us. What was even better was it's easy setup. Whether a seasoned computer geek or not, you should be able to set it up by following the instructions. USB is a nice option, however, we obviously set it up on a network. The lost cost consumables and ability to print a few thousand pages before replacing them was nice since we print about 15,000 pages/month color (we have a dedicated high-speed b&w copier). On the slightly negative side, we weren't too hot on how heavy the printer is. While solid is nice, know that you are going to have to have a heavy duty desk, table, or something of the such. Compared to my Tektronix and my Xerox, the blacks are softer than they should be. My Tektronix was by far the winner in this test. They were simply amazing as they almost jumped off the page. High quality black output seems to be an issue with most of the newer color lasers. Not that it's a major issue, but I've noticed that photo output could be better. My Xerox 6120 is a little better and yet was half the price. Overall this printer is very good and filled out need well. We paid $285 after a 5% Buy.com coupon and that included free shipping. I would definitely recommend this printer to any workgroup of people who need to be able to print better than average color quality. Cost per print is very affordable which in the end is one of the major stengths we were looking for in a color laser. RATING: 3.8/5

Review:

Brother HL-4040CN

For this color laser printer, a sometimes-awkward design offsets good pricing, speed, and print quality.

Brother takes a major evolutionary step with the HL-4040CN: This is the first color laser designed by the company itself, rather than a rebranded model from another manufacturer. It's a decent first effort, offering good overall speed and print quality for a competitive price. The design sometimes falls short on ease of use, unfortunately.
