This printer jams all the time. Tech support advised using
24 lb paper, and this worked!
So: Tech support knows about the jam. They know the problem
can be fixed with heaver paper...but why won't they provide
a fix that works with 20lb paper?
If you want to print with normal paper, try another printer.

One of the best home laser printers purchased. Good on toner use. Still working well after 2 years.

Good Workhorse; Pricey Cartridges
rating: 4
I bought this printer about two years ago and it has never failed me. My occupation is document intensive, so I need a dependable, high quality printer that won't jam or suffer from "work fatigue." Mac users might be interested in knowing that I use an iMac G5 (the one right before the Intel Model) and the 5170DN is totally compatible, including the duplex feature. I would have awarded this printer five stars, but there is a downside. The drum and cartridges are pricey and it seems that I need to replace the cartridges more often than indicated by Brother. I imagine if you are willing to use refurbished replacements, this is an excellent and inexpensive printer to own. Highly Recommended.

nice printer
rating: 4
i got this printer 'cause my old HP was jamming, and this one works just fine... though I wish the cardstock didn't shoot out the back! Also, duplex printing on cardstock is a no-go, 'cause the duplex printing mechanism is at the top of the printer, where only regular papers can go. otherwise, it was fine to hook up (and i'm a mac person!), and i love the duplex feature when printing out regular documents. Saves paper. It's slower than I expected too, but that's 'cause I'm printing huge, super dpi images.... I guess that's as good as it gets.

Inexpensive network printer with duplex
rating: 5
I purchased this printer for a small software development office. It was relatively easy to set it up as a network printer and to configure WinXP and Linux clients to print. Most of our printing is text so we're not too picky but the print quality looks good and the printer is quiet and relatively fast. For us, the duplex feature was important to save paper. Not bad for a $400 laser printer.
My only quibble is that it requires a USB cable (not provided) in order to configure it as a network printer because there are no front-panel controls. Since there is no warning on the box, you tend to find this out while you are in the middle of setting it up. In my case, I had to stop and come back the next day with a cable. Grrr.
This printer is small and lightweight so I suspect it would wear out quickly with high use. Having said that, you could wear out and replace it several times and still save money over some of the other printers on the market.
