About this product
The Brother HLL1242W Mono Laser Printer is designed for home workers and small offices needing a straightforward, space-saving printer for everyday documents. It offers 20ppm print speeds for black text, ideal for invoices, reports or school assignments. Its compact 340x238x189mm size won't dominate your desk. The 150-sheet paper tray reduces refills, and wireless connectivity with 5GHz WiFi and USB lets you print from laptops, phones or tablets without cable clutter.
Setup is simple using the Brother Mobile Connect app, and you can print directly from your smartphone with Apple AirPrint or Google Cloud Print support. It prints up to A4 with 2400x600dpi resolution, which delivers sharp, professional-looking text that makes documents look crisp rather than blurry.

Another great Printer
The printer Is great, and has held up great so far! The limitation to mono is great as it saves on buying ink. While the cartridges are a bit dear, I don't mind the price tag as these units can hold on for THOUSANDS of pages. Also the compatibility is great! While I'm not able to connect the printer by USB to old software, I can still send the printer an email containing a PDF to print. The software provided with the printer is versatile and very simple to use - And also has options for more complicated setups. the printer is also Mopria Print compatible, meaning I can easily print stuff from my phone rather than faffing about with HP's unnecessary "Sign up to use the app" eco-system. You can also configure the ISO resolution to save on ink and energy - It also has a built-in sleep mode which can be toggled on and off. Overall, Great buy! Brother is the GOAT of printers.

Nice small laser printer
Easy to set up and good print quality. Wish the cartridges weren’t so expensive.

Easy setup
Great compact printer, easy setup

It has all the features I required
I have used this several times now. It is very easy to set up and I can also print off from my mobile phone. I had an earlier version, which I wasn’t enamoured with, and it had been more expensive to buy,. This one was £50 cheaper, I’ve experienced none of the problems as with my earlier one and overall I am very happy with this. The plus factor is that it fits nicely inside my cupboard which is ehy I went for the same make and model. The plus side is that if it had shown signs of not doing the job properly, I could have returned it.
