A good value workhorse of a printer. I’ve been using remanufactured toner cartridges in it with no problems. Only issue is the duplex unit has started to give trouble with paper jams happening frequently. No problems at all printing single-sided.
A good value printer especially if you use the extra capacity toner cartridge – 8000pages. Print quality is very good and no paper curling. Duplexing works a treat and the whole thing is reasonably quiet during printing. Overall very happy with this purchase.
Good steady printer – but some language problems. As i expected this is a good basic black and white only laser printer. It’s a little quieter than my previous brother printer – but so far i haven’t had any problems with it (and i expect none). My only gripe with this is that it came with packaging obviously not intended for uk. For example there were no written set up instructions in english (dutch and french only) and it came with a standard european plug connection rather than a uk one. Of course neither of these are huge problems (the english instructions are on the cd manual and i could use the power cable from my previous brother printer) but they were both a bit niggly when i came to open the box. A bit better quality control is required somewhere.
- Solid, reliable and economical – I would buy it again
- Excellent printer
- Does what it says on the tin.
We have several hl-5250dns in our office which have given us years of good service. Hl-5250dns are no longer made, the hl-5340dn is the nearest equivalent so we’ve been buying these instead. They’re descent mono duplex lasers. They an be connected by usb, network or parallel. We only use them for single-pc use because like so many cheaper lasers, the cost of cartridges is high. So as your print volumes increase you are better off getting a higher capacity printer because over the life of the printer it will work out cheaper to use.

Does what it says on the tin. . This is my second one of these (the first one from a year ago is still working fine and on it’s third or fourth toner). I am a teacher and use the printer for worksheets and printing old exam papers. The ‘booklet’ setting is great for exam papers – even scaled down everything is clear. With canon toner the image quality is fantastic, with cheapies it is still v good. Looking round the net it seems worth replacing the printer when the drum needs replacing – hence my purchase of the second printer ready for that occurrence, (probably after about 5 toners), when i saw the amazon price.
Drivers installed easily – set printer to duplex easily. Go it due to ridiculous price of inkjet cartridges (i don’t print much in colour). I want better ‘running costs’ – i guess ‘time will tell’.
