Brother HL-2170W: Monochrome Wireless Budget Laser Printer

by Abhinav Kaiser on December 22, 2007

Earlier this week, Brother International debuted HL-2170W, a monochrome laser printer with Wi-Fi functionality. The HL-2170W is compatible with Windows and Mac. A lower model of the same printer without wireless functionality, HL-2140W was also introduced.

Under ideal conditions and minimal printable items, it is estimated to print at a speed of 23ppm. It includes a 32MB memory card for caching prints and faster delivery. It can deliver a best resolution of 2400 X 600 dots per inch and can handle a maximum of 250 pages in one tray.

The HL-2170W is powered by 802.11b/g wireless scheme. It also offers Ethernet and USB connectivity. Another interesting feature is the auto-configuration with popular routers which should help non-technicians in setting up as a network printer.

The price of Brother printers is usually inexpensive; this one is no different. It should be available in the retail market early next year and should ideally cost below £100. It’s pretty reasonable for a wireless laser printer and with its compact size, suits homes and home offices.
