Better than the MFC-L2820DW as this has automatic duplex SCANNING.

Model name MFC-L2880DW
Fast print speeds up to 34 ppm
Automatic 2-sided printing & scanning (duplex)
250-sheet paper tray
Up to 1200pg inbox toner with option to purchase 5000pg replacement toners

Hi, lowest I've seen for this printer.
Got Officeworks to beat the price (took awhile for them to verify because there office choice and select office choice (don't know the difference, neither could officeworks). Mate was nice enough to honour the price beat.

    Good price, got it from last Amazon deal for $268 and pretty happy with it. ymmv I don't do a lot of printing, just occasionally; but I do scan a lot and love the duplex direct to computer scanning with auto sensing.

      I don't do a lot of printing, just occasionally

      Just don't update your Brother printer firmwares.
      The later updates, block access to generic toners.

      • Kammi on 24/08/2024 - 20:25

        What is the alternative brand? I've got the 3770cdw and want to throw it in the bin due to toner bs. Can't even force print in b&w because of stupid colour bs

        • Whodis on 24/08/2024 - 22:09

          You should be able to with some googling downgrade the firmware back to the previous version. I did it to the work one a few months back

          I made a mistake several years ago, bought a workgroup expensive colour Brother printer for home, it was used occasionally but as years passed it was like disintegrating itself, then decided to buy a HP one, it was not that sturdy (as they used to be) but has survived the pass of time and it takes compatible toner cartridges

          • Kammi on 25/08/2024 - 12:28

            @scuadrosm: I did a quick Reddit search and hp seems to be going down this path too, must be the newer printers

            https://www.reddit.com/r/printers/s/cnF2VZTQ8o

            I'll probably bite the bullet and buy legit then rip the chips out and put them back into my existing cartridges, I would've thought a battery replacement would've worked but it didn't (I should check their voltages)

          • Whodis on 25/08/2024 - 21:30

            @scuadrosm: Yeah same, I recently threw out the 9330cdw because it kept losing print jobs and being a general pain to print on.
            Bought an ecotank 5150, it's been so much better.

        Any way to tell if a new printer comes with a "genuine toner denied" firmware?

        Can someone mention the exact firmware we're trying to stick to?
        Asking so I can check what version I'm on.

        • WhatsTheBigDeal on 25/08/2024 - 09:32

          I would like to know this too. But I understand 3rd party toner availability is an evolving industry so if you don't need toners frequently and if you stop updating firmware even now, by the time you need a toner, 3rd party toners will have caught up to suit your current firmware.

    • WhatsTheBigDeal on 24/08/2024 - 18:30

      No need to hold it yourself while it does printing or scanning. Perfectly fine to leave it on a normal table.

    the full duplexing is what sets this apart

    we have a few of the base base fuji xerox mfds but they dont duplex print or duplex scan and they are a pain

    we have a lot of these spec and they a good base unit

    • AndrewMTG on 25/08/2024 - 12:30

      Can you explain to me what duplex is and why it's useful or worth paying for? (idk)

      • overbyte on 25/08/2024 - 12:56

        It's in the description.

        Automatic 2-sided printing & scanning (duplex)

        Having an MFD that can print and scan both sides of the paper saves paper and makes printing and scanning a lot faster if you work with a lot of documents.

      • soupratt on 25/08/2024 - 12:58

        It means you can PRINT on both sides of a page automatically and you can SCAN both sides of a document automatically. Otherwise you have to manually flip over the page which is a pain if you are dealing with 50 pages.

    I have the previous very similar L2750DW model.
    Low usage, but when we use it, works very well

  • chickenchipsgravy on 24/08/2024 - 19:16

    if using a Mac, can you go File > Print or do you need the iBrother app and can only print PDF / photo file types ?
    I recently bought the DCP-L2640DW and I have to save everything as a PDF and manually print … frustrating.

    • mgfcode on 24/08/2024 - 19:28

      i have the L2750DW and it doesnt need to do the two step process. it does show up on file > print.

      maybe try going to system settings > Printer & Scanners. then add the printer? (assuming is turned on and connected)

    The generic toner available but cost around $67 for the high yield toner for this model.

    Need to mass produce generic to hit the $20 price point

    • whyisave on 24/08/2024 - 19:52

      The generic toner available

      The generic toners do not work "anymore" with Brother firmware updates.

      I have the older L2750DW and the L2730DW , and both of them 'somehow' got the later firmware updates,
      and the generic toners (with chips) are working now.

      Only genuine toner cartridges work :-\

      I don't know how to solve this problem, because downgrading the firmware requires the older firmware files and I haven't been able to find them.

      • Bluey123 on 24/08/2024 - 20:26

        Are you connected to their computer software? Perhaps it did auto update when it detects

        • Kammi on 24/08/2024 - 20:27

          It's auto update even with auto update off imo., so dodgy

          • whyisave on 24/08/2024 - 21:15

            @Kammi: I don't think so, but then again, I'm not surprised nowadays with anything.

            I mean, if you use Chrome browser, … unless you switch off the 'flags', Chrome will also Auto-Update itself.

        • whyisave on 24/08/2024 - 21:14

          I don't have 'auto update' on.

          However, I wonder if me or whoever uses the printers, accidentally pressed "Update" to update the printers, haha

      • Widget on 24/08/2024 - 20:53

        Wondering if it was possible to find someone with the old printer+firmware, if it's possible to make a copy of it with some third-party program?

        • whyisave on 24/08/2024 - 21:16

          possible to find someone with the old printer+firmware

          Why do you think, I was looking for old printers in Gumtree,
          and then buying them, just to try these out…but then finding out, the seller also didn't know they got "firmware updated", ha.
          They just didn't know because they were using genuine toners.

      • whyisave on 24/08/2024 - 21:18

        the generic toners (with chips) are working now.

        CORRECTION: generic toners are NOT working now, after firmware update.

        • whyisave on 25/08/2024 - 01:06

          If you have a Windows machine, you could try Windows Firewall, and block the brother.com URL

          I guess if you blocked the url in your dns to all devices.
          I dont see it doing any update via the app without me explicitly telling it to update

  • Naigrabzo on 24/08/2024 - 21:01

  • utsc on 24/08/2024 - 21:32

    For the L2750DW if you have the firmware updated you need to buy a new generic toner with the new updated chip to work with the new firmware. I had the problem in 2019 and then I got a new toner with the latest chip and it started to work again

    • whyisave on 25/08/2024 - 01:06

      Thanks for this tip.
      I'll look for a new generic toner then.

  • Roe Jogan on 24/08/2024 - 22:01

    how much is the toner for this bad boy can someone link, this looks to be what ive been after, a laser printer with duplex scanning and cheap ink
