Overview
Brother's HL-L2460DW handles black and white printing for home offices and small teams, with automatic duplex and dual-band Wi-Fi built in, rated up to 36 pages per minute. A 250-sheet tray and a manual feed slot cover everyday paper and envelopes.
- Up to 36 ppm monochrome output with automatic duplex printing

Who it's for
Fits home offices, students, or small teams that mostly print text documents and want fast, quiet output without paying for color. Not the right choice for anyone who needs scanning or copying in the same box, since this model is print only.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers repeatedly praise how easy setup was, several comparing it favorably to a frustrating HP inkjet experience, and call the print quality crisp with duplex handling document handouts well. The recurring complaint is the bundled Refresh EZ Print toner subscription, which one buyer says auto-charged after the trial and took nearly two hours on the phone to sort out; another reviewer's unit stopped working after about a year and a half.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Print speed reviewers measured close to the rated 36 ppm with quick first-page output
- Wireless setup several reviewers found easier than a comparable HP printer
- Clean, crisp text output confirmed across multiple reviews
- Duplex printing one reviewer specifically praised for lecture slide handouts
- The Refresh EZ Print toner subscription trial auto-bills after the free period, per a detailed complaint
- At least one reviewer's unit stopped working after about 18 months
