Brother HLL8260CDW white (Open Box)

Though physically bigger than I expected, the build and output quality is amazing. My only gripe is that I've been unable to find any way to emulate backwards compatibility with Windows XP. Yes, I know that XP is obsolete, but that doesn't mean I don't have an old laptop on my network that wouldn't benefit from a compatibility setting. For example, maybe this device can emulate an HP LaserJet and XP wouldn't know the difference? Fantastic! Might I loose some functionality? Sure, I'm good with that. But it is what it is, and the lack of Windows XP support *does not* take away from the product. This printer's settings allowed for an option called something like "Toner Saver", and I'll pass. If I wanted faded output, I'll use my inkjet printer on draft. Granted, it's nice that Brother gave that option to us, but again, no thank you. On the other hand, they offer a mode called something like "Quiet Mode", which after pouring through documentation can be translated to: "Slow Printing Speed". This is NOT a gripe or complaint, and in fact for my home (as compared to office or corporate) use, slow printing is fine with me, as I know that if I need to print a large job, I can always change this default setting. The bottom line for this setting is that I appreciate Brother giving it to me, and I'll use it. One quirk I found is that the unit cannot provide WiFi and LAN access at the same time. Granted, there is probably a very good technical reason, but I wish it could anyway. So yes, having played with this unit for a couple of days, printing out near photo-quality images (the printer doesn't say that it CAN print photo quality), and just kicking the tires as they say, I'm happy with the product, and would recommend it. UPDATE 6/9/2017: Brother sent me the following answer about Windows XP compatibility: "Your machine is PCL6 compatible so it can use any of the HP LaserJet Drivers (2-6) pre-installed with Windows for basic printing on Windows XP." Indeed it works when connected via USB with a driver selection of HP LaserJet 6L. It doesn't print color and no duplexing capabily, but this is great! I'll play with other drivers to see if I can find one that supports color, but as I purchased this item to replace my old HP LaserJet 4Plus (which wasn't color), I'm back where I was, with newer machines giving me the full potential of this printer. A big THANKS to Brother technical support!!! UPDATE 6/28/2017 - I've got two problems, one rather fatal (that I'm handling through Amazon), and one technical, that as of this update cannot be resolved by Brother. An Amazon user posted a question about the ability to reset the toner cartridges when either replaced with third-party sellers, or simply being refilled by oneself. Brother's answer was simple: YOU CANT That makes me angry because not only are they "calculating" toner usage (meaning not by measuring how much toner you have left, but only based on their perception of how much you might have used), but implementing two significant customer "blocks": 1) The "Starter" cartridges are page-limited, and once you pass the programmed limit (regardless of how much toner is in the cartridge), you will never be able to use the "Starter" cartridge again. Forget you Brother!!!! 2) The calculation process continues for every cartridge you install in the future, and that totally ticks me off. Yea, I know they make more money on the cartridges than the printer, but that's a business model I'm not willing to be part of (a point for the CEO of Brother to listen to). So, if you want a printer that is going to strong-arm you into buying their toner cartridges (regardless of whether they have more print capability or not), than buy this printer. But if Brother tells me there is some other way to make the best of what otherwise is a great printer, I'm willing to both listen and update this review.
