Brother HL-2280DW wireless AIO Laser Printer $100@Newegg

Quote from wazlo21 : Back in the days of the $25 off Staples coupons, there were times it was on sale and also they had a printer trade-in deal going. I think I scored mine for about that price. We've been extremely happy with it up until a couple weeks ago, when it stopped printing wirelessly. I just says offline until you hook it up via USB, at which point it prints out everything in the queue. I've tried all sorts of fixes but can't get it working right anymore.

have u tried the ad hoc mode?

This is a great printer. I still can't believe that I got this + 2 8GB SDHC cards from Staples for $86 shipped in Dec 2011

$100 is a bit steep, but it hasn't been on sale lately. Used to be that you could usually snag it for $80 when it went on sale at Staples.

Saw this. I am more interested in a deal on the 2270, I want a smaller unit (don't need the scan/copy).

But if you need that, this is a good price. Looks like the toner carts are pretty cheap too.

Quote from blueiedgod : Looks like a good AIO, but there is no fax. I guess for $100 you can't get everything. Ideally I would like to replace the Epson 610 AIO Inkjet and HP 1012 with just one machine... Ideal replacemtn would be a AIO Color Laser with Fax...

not at this price point, but

Generic toners can be had for around $16 if you set up deal alerts for them. They work quite well (used 2 so far).

Great printer, but it doesn't play well with the mac in the house.

Quote from mjv5864 : No document feeder. I guess for 100 bucks, you can't have everything.

This deal just a few weeks ago has it all. In my experience, these deals seem to popup once or twice a year, which is how often I replace my printers.

FIY for Costco fans: this same printer is on sale right now for $129.99 plus tax at Costco.com [link [costco.com]].

Quote from ReverseHandedJO : something else i just remembered, you cant have symbols in your wireless password to set the printer up wirelessly. was the printer itself showing the IP on the LCD readout?

The IP address was back in auto-assign mode. After I re-installed everything it makes sense that it went back to default.

I set it back to a fixed IP and still haven't had any luck. I tried pinging the static IP address, which used to get me to the Brother set-up page, but it just gives me the standard "Cannot find the webpage".

I tried to add a printer using the static IP address, but that didn't work either.

Quote from tunanjing : have u tried the ad hoc mode?

I'm not sure how to do that. Any idea would be appreciated. My wife prints more often than I do and it is starting to get a little old for her.

it's been a while since I did it so I have quite forgotten the exact steps. It took me a while to find it online but if you have the time, try to search in brother support website for discussion about the ad hoc mode or to connect brother wirelessly without cd.

Will do. Thanks for the suggestion.

fax is still a thing? I feel like scanning to pdf and emailing is easier.....

Quote from AZSMOKER : Great printer, but it doesn't play well with the mac in the house.

Dunno if that is an issue with the printer or your setup. It works great with my wife's Macbook Pro and has always printed wirelessly. Brother thankfully has good OSX support unlike my last Canon printer which required 3rd party Gutenprint drivers to work.

Sorry for the stupid question....does this print color as well ?
