The Bottom Line:
Fantastic
this is a really high-quality laser printer that prints fast and prints well.
The starter toner you get in the package is rated at 1,000 pages. Additional toner cartridges can print 2,000 or 3,000 pages and are priced reasonably -- no expensive toner to worry about! The drum, according to the manual, should be replaced after a while, but the list price ($99) is again reasonable and I don't think you need worry about the replacement anytime soon. (I think I'll just buy another HL-2140 or its new successor model!)
The printer starts up fast and prints fast. The resolution is pure laser-quality. I use printing paper from Staples and the printer handles the paper with complete aplomb (as expected). You can print A4 size, as well.
Installation on Windows XP and Vista was a breeze; just be sure to NOT connect the USB cable until you're told to. One minor caveat is no A-to-B USB cable is included in the package (as disclosed on the box); but one costs less than ten bucks at Staples or any other store. This printer is USB 2.0 high-speed-compatible.
The printer is made in China but seems well made for a Chinese-assembled product. I accidentally dropped it on the floor (from ~3 ft.) and it survived without any problems.
