Reviews of the Brother HL-4040cn

CNET Review
The Good: Great print quality; USB port for cameras and flash drives; network-ready; reprint, direct-print, and secure print features are useful.
The Bad: Black print speeds are on the slow side; input paper capacity is not expandable; no optional duplexer available.
The Bottom Line: Despite its lagging black print speeds, the Brother HL-4040CN does a lot of things right and makes a compelling color laser printer for small offices or workgroups.
