This is the fourth cart for my HL-l2380DW home office printer. The printer itself is very good and the cart is also fairly long lasting in my usage. BUT the print is a bit light. My Mac driver does not seem to have a "density of print" control panel. I have looked everywhere and since you have only got Iprint + scan (which is useless by the way for controlling the printer) and have not updated your native software for mac with my newer OS. (I end up using Preview and CUPs driver to print.

My TN660 cartridge only printed between approximately 175 pages of mostly letters and lists It didn't come close to 2,600 pages. My initial starter cartridge only printed 75 pages versus the 700 estimated pages. I purchase the MFC-L2700DW based upon a Brother basic laser printer used for 12 years. The cartridges for the basic Brother laser printer cartridges lasted for the perdictated number of copies. The MFC-L2700DW has given me very poor cartridge life.

I read all of the rating statements. I believe the less than five stars raters are not users that rely on the printer for a living. I use mine every day. As an attorney for 41 years, I have relied on printing from printers from day one. I started with a secretary and IBM typewriters. In college I learned to use punch cards the year before Bill Gates was working in his garage in 1975. Since 1980, I followed and used the floppies through the troublesome DOS and pre-MicroSoft 7. Along with those problems came shoddy printers. The worst of all has been the laser-jet cartridge ink printer. I tried many disappointing printers and wasted ink that rarely lasted more than six month. I have been using daily for over five years a Brother HL-L2380DW and used TN 630 and 660 cartridges without any problems. Yes, it's a monochrome. But it is a work horse and the most reliable I have ever used.

Getting customers to pay more for the toner and less for the printer appears to be the strategy used by most printer makers. Some successfully. Others not successfully. Brother is just another of those printer makers who expect you to shed up to 800% per year of the price you paid for your printer. Not quite a great business proposal for heavy users and small businesses.

I have been using this HL-L2360 Brother Laser printer going on 6 years now and, I am very pleased with its Reliability that it gives as well as the yield of the Tones giving me around 2600 sheets. I find that the toner TN-660 gives me what, I want pulse a little bit more from time to time. For my personal printer toner wise the price is right for me.

The product accomplished what I needed. The printer was no longing printing on paper. Buying a new TN660 toner cartridge brought my printer back to life. I really like that this cartridge had more magic black stuff so it will last longer. I would recommend that you should get a new toner cartridge too when the one you have no longer works.

I think some of these reviews are fake. I own a tutoring center, and I honestly print 10+ pages per day. times 5 work per week...that is 2,600 pages, which makes sense because I changed it once a year at most. Also! I stretch the life by printing only 300dpi, black and white, and no graphics, just textbooks, math worksheets, contracts, etc.

I bought it thinking it was going to last me about a year because I barely print documents. It is for home use and we don't print that much. I usually buy the standard yield but I though it was a good idea to buy the high yield so it could last longer and that is not true. It last the same or even less than the standard one.

You whiners should go back to inkjets, and who counts how many sheets you get out of a cartridge, i have 2 teenagers that loves to print and these last a lot longer than any i have owned, and i have owned a few since windows 3.0, its been a great product for 3 years and i have no complaints about how long the toner lasts.

my first cartridge that came with my laser printer lasted over 2 years,,i printed BnW layouts for property and houses, also many tax map specs. I installed the TN660 approximately 7 months ago in March ,,still printing all of the above so for me they work great and cost factor not a problem,
