I purchased this model because it has two input trays and one additional manual tray, and it offered the most for the money. I bought this item for $305 including shipping, and I am very pleased with it. Its much faster at startup and continuous printing than my previous laser printers, HP 1320 and Brother HL-1670N.
It offers built-in duplexer which makes it convenient for two sided printing without having to flip it over to the other side of the page manually.
This model comes with Ethernet interface and usb, and has 32mb of ram which is more than enough for my needs. I need three paper trays because i use three different types of papers for my business, and I don’t like having to shuffle every time I needed to use a different paper type.
The 1200dpi setting is very high quality but I don’t mind just running in 600dpi mode to save on toner.
When compared to my last 3-tray Brother laser printer (HL-1670N) that I purchased 4 years ago, this one blows it away in every category, speed, quality, footprint, noise, aesthetics.
Just one thing missing is the 3-color LCD to better illuminate and describe printer problems and errors.

Review 2
Head: Brother Fast and Versatile

Strengths: Duplexing, network ready, fast
Weaknesses: More paper curling than the HL-1440 I had before. Envelopes come out wrinkled.
Summary: Overall, I am delighted with this printer. Print speed is fast and the auto duplexing is extremely useful to me: I frequently print out long informational documents for clients, and this printer makes it a breeze. Setup of the second paper tray was a mystery until I called Brother product support and they told me how to do it: you have to go to Printers and Faxes from the start menu, right click on the printer, and select Properties then Accessories. As far as I can tell this is nowhere in the supplied documentation. As mentioned above, paper comes out more curled than with my previous Brother laser printer, and envelopes come out a little wrinkled (also not a problem with the HL-1440). Despite these relatively minor weaknesses, I would recommend this printer.
