I've had the HL-5250DN for several months and have printed about 500
pages on it. I like the easy ethernet connection and the ability to
print duplex. It works well with both Linux and Windows computers on
my home network.
It was no trouble configuring cupsys for it.
It seems to require a lot of power at the beginning of a print job; it
dims the lights a little.
Before I used a top-loading HP Laserjet 5L. This printer, although it
had some problems with loading, had a somewhat more solid feel than
the Brother.
I'm satisfied with the Brother.
