Advantages: It's lasted me over 4 years
Disadvantages: The sporadic paper jams and spool errors can be annoying

...times. The Brother HL 1450 is just over a foot in length and width and less than a foot in height. As laser printers go it has a smallish footprint but HP (as an alternative) do offer similar sized laser printers. It isn't too heavy in itself but the paper tray is pretty annoying - you almost have to lift the printer to pull the paper tray out to refill it or to clear jams. Holding about 250 A4 sheets, I'd say I was satisfied with the amount of paper ...
...able to pinpoint why the Brother jammed so often in the first couple of years of use. I have to admit that it seems to have improved with age, as I get far fewer jams nowadays compared to the first 2 years of use. Previously it would have paper jams about 75% of the time and now it's practically 0%! Isn't that strange? Is it cheap and cheerful?

I've never tried it on another surface, but I'm sure it would be the same. Also, when ...

Advantages: fast printing, many options, photo-editing software
Disadvantages: slow scans, can't print documents from USB

I personally enjoy this printer, because of its ability to print large amounts of papers in a very small amount of time. I also like that you can print copies in black and white, or color. Also it has a scanner to upload pictures and it comes with a program so that you can edit them before printing. One thing I did not like though, was that if you insert a usb to print a document, it won't allow it. Other than that it prints photos fast, and you ... Read review
