Brother DCP-1610W 'All in Box Bundle' Mono Laser Printer - All-in-One, Wireless/USB 2.0, Printer/Scanner/Copier, Compact, A4 Printer, Up to 3 Years’ Worth Of Printing

Extremely happy, excellent laser printer, prints very fast and in good quality, comes with plenty of toner, if a mono printer is all you need, This laser one is the one you want.

I’ve been using ink printers for a long time, but they always ran out too quickly and became expensive to maintain. I decided to switch to this printer, and I couldn’t be happier! It lasts for around 1,000 pages before needing a refill, which is a huge improvement. The print quality is excellent, and it handles large amounts of work effortlessly.I’m currently preparing for my GCSE exams, so I’ve been printing a lot of study materials. This printer has been a lifesaver—no more constant refills or worrying about running out of ink at the worst moments. The setup was quick and easy, and the overall performance has been flawless.On top of that, the service has been fantastic. Delivery was fast, and everything arrived in perfect condition. If you need a reliable, long-lasting printer, I highly recommend this one!

The printer is great. Small footprint, quiet and good quality print. I’d certainly recommend it. However…..Unless you have a computer, setting up a wireless connection via the Brother app, I found nigh on impossible. I used the app on an iPad but it simply wouldn’t detect my home network (WPS was active). Tried manually entering the IP address but that didn’t work either. I gave up after numerous attempts (if you have put paper in the printer, it gives you a report of the failure and some hints - not that they worked for me.I then installed the drivers from the supplied disc on to my (Windows 11) laptop having loaded. You do need a cd/dvd drive but if one isn’t built in they’re cheap enough to by on Amazon. You also need a usb cable as this isn’t supplied. Again very cheap and given the amount you’ll save in toner compared to other makes, worth the investment!The install was flawless and even gave the option to download the latest drivers. Once completed, the printer automatically appeared in the app on my iPad (and myAndroid phone).

Read the comments about people getting a euro plug. mine came with uk plug. so not sure whats that is about, maybe because i brought mine new.They don't include the USB cable any more with printers, but i was aware of this and had one just incase i needed it. But i was plan to set it up as a wireless printer, it was very easy setup.There printer has a WPS button on it, just hold it for about 10 seconds, press the WPS button on your router and the wifi light will stop blinking when you have been successful. if it still blinks hold it on the printer for another 10 secs or more. should work. (i did it from the web page of the router that had more options to make it easier. (it will do a print giving your wifi settings if it worked, so make sure you have paper and the starter toner installed before you do this.) So no needed for a USB cable just to set it up on the wifi if, provided your router has a WPS button on it.once the printer was connected to my wifi, i downloaded the full brother drivers from there web site, installed, setup detected the printer on the next work and installed. and I printed something from MS word to test it and it worked fine.The brother full drivers/software includes a little icon to allow you to see the toner levels which is nice.Prints are crisp and clean, I did have trouble working out how to install the Starter toner that came with it. had to find a youtube video show me. Turns out i was trying to install it back to front, remember when you remove the protective cap, that that part goes in head first. The instructions that it came with was no that clear in the diagram about that bit.I love this printer, simple, fast so i order 2 more toners. should last for years now.I believe the printer only has 38mbs of ram. meaning it might have problem printing large PDF files. there is an option in PDF viewers to "print as image" that should get around this problem, I have not tried this out yet, but bare that in mind. otherwise its perfect for all the simple excel and word documents i print out.there is lots of videos online showing you how to do anything with it so easy to find a solution

It was easier connecting a computer to a printer 30 years ago. It seems printer manufacturers have regressed. Why make things simpler when you can make them infuriatingly difficult? I spent over three hours trying to connect the printer to the computer. In the end I gave up. The printer is being returned and my confidence and trust in Brother is gone forever.I could spend another three hours itemising all the things that are out of whack with reality (and common-sense) with this printer. But I won't.

My old Pantum printer broke down and I bought this Brother printer to replace it. I don't do a great deal of printing so I wanted a simply, easy to use printer which I could just plug in and go. I did not need colour printing - black and white was all I required. Neither did I want to scan or photocopy. Neither did I want to print from my smartphone or tablet - I only wanted to print from my laptop. So something simple and hopefully not too expensive was what I was looking for. This printer seemed to fit the bill. I noted what other reviewers said about it not coming with a USB cable so I retained the cable from my old printer. I encountered an initial problem in that the the printer came with a disc which was there to load the driver. The instructions showed the disc being slotted into a pull out drawer on the side of the laptop. My laptop does not have a drawer. However, I loaded the driver by going onto the Brother website. This worked ok so I was soon up and running. So far I am happy with the printer; It is perfectly sufficient for my needs. I will be interested to see how long the ink cartridge lasts and how much it costs to replace it. At this point I will investigate whether I can use compatible ink cartridges. Overall, however, I am happy with the printer.
