Unboxing and setup of the Brother HL-2140 Laser Printer

After getting a new iMac, we needed a new printer, as out old printer was junk, never worked half the time, and was ALWAYS out of ink when we needed it. (we don't print that often and by the time we did print, the ink would be dried up) So we op-ed for a Laser printer as the ink never goes bad. We only paid $40 for the printer - where as our old printer cost over $100 and the ink was like $35 for black and $42 for color. So for the price of ONE cartage, we got a whole new printer with the ink! (that will last MUCH longer too!)

In this video, you will watch me un-box it, set it up, print a demo page, and then hook it up to the computer and also print a test page from there! Hope you enjoy it! Please rate, comment, subscribe!

(Sorry for the bad quality, as this was back when I had my old camera)

Love the video, but where did you get this unit for $40? The cheapest I can find is $119 (new). I got an iMac and my old printer (which I JUST bought last year) doesn't work with the Mac, so I researched and found this Brother which seems to be the best bet. But WHERE did you buy it this cheap? Thanks! :-)

@bellameezer Got it at Staples. It was $69.99 and there was a $30 rebate I think. But look around, you'll find them cheaper. Maybe in a month when the back to school stuff goes on sale the price may come back down. Good luck.

Thanks for the video! I am replacing my HP P1006 and the HL-2140 seems to be the best pick at this point

@DMB1985CA i agree rubbish shit. just take it outside and throw a rock at it, just take it up a high building and drop it, it gives me great pleasure when i see these get smashed up.

Thank you.....Enjoyed the music too. I am off to buy one this arvo from the Good Guys in Aussie land. So feel more confident after watching your Vid and being shown how to set it up.

Thanks for that.

@bellameezer Oh this one is the wired one. Its not the wireless that's why its so cheap. It's 99.99 on Amazon WIRELESS.

[GDG5308]

Does anyone knows how to make it print wireless from a laptop? I have a print server which works well w/ few of my previous inkjet printers, but somehow it does NOT work w/ brother HL-2140 at all, not sure what’s wrong. Anyone knows how to fix it?
