I consider myself above average in being tech savvy, however, when instructions on how to set up a printer becomes so labor intensive and interpretations to meanings become mandatory, it makes me want to give up. Time is one thing I do not have, so I do not want to take 3 hours or more to set this printer up. That being said, I do not have any problems with the printing aspect, for printing only, I would give it 5 stars. But I would like to use the scanner, and to get that up and running seems more of a chore than is necessary.

I have had a serries of multi function Inkjet printers prior to purchasing the HL-2280DW laser printer/copier/scanner. I decided on the laser since every inkjet I have owned has malfunctioned in some way, usually due to one or more colors of ink becoming clogged.
After a few months, I can see that this printer is performing very well and is meeing all of my expectations. The initial toner cartridge is running low now and I keep getting warnings about low toner, but the printing is still good, scans are clean and easy to execute, and the construction of the printer is solid.
Unless you need color prints, I would suggest that you stay away from inkjets. This laser unit is a good, reliable substitute.

Well, maybe not the Best Purchase Ever, but it comes close. For the money, value is excellent. It has been very useful since I bought it for printing and scanning. Setup was easy and the included software is easy to use. Print quality and scan quality are both excellent. If I was to buy a printer again, it may be the same one with the document loader on top. That makes it easy to copy or scan multi-page documents.
