It Has its Flaws:
If you are in the market for a budget laser printer, the HL-2170W is a good choice. I can't compare this product to other laser printers because I've only used this one. I use it solely for the office and the bulk of my printing is shared between paper and envelopes. Overall, the printer was easy to setup wirelessly. It took me 15 minutes to have it up and running.

NOT EASY TO SET UP:
I have been a Brother products supporter for years. I have had the printer since mid-January 2010 and its still sitting on my desk unused.

Does everything my last printer didn't:
So far this is looking to be a very good printer. One down side is that it's too loud for me to leave on all the time.

Still not working with my laptop:
I had absolutely no problem hooking the printer up to my PC since I already had a Brother's laser printer that died there but three different people have tried to get my laptop to print to the printer and we haven't succeeded yet. The actual printer is great but it is frustrating that I am having so much trouble with the wireless connection.
