New printer is here. connected via Ethernet to the Mac for now, and
ready. I will test it later and go wireless also.

Hi, E.T.:
Good luck with the setup, and I hope you like the machine!
As I mentioned, I got help adjusting the paper tray and especially the
drum and toner cartridge (which comes separately packaged in the
shipping container). I could likely have done the paper tray, and maybe
even the toner, but why take a chance is my approach on such things.
I did neglect to have my assistant get the password off the back or
bottom, but I did fint it on line. the word initpass worked on my
machine. From there, things where really quite simple using a browser to
the IP address the machine was assigned by my router. I've now got it
locked into a specific IP address via the printer's mac address which is
easily located with a browser once you log in. Heck, I've even added the
machine to my DNS zone.
A very useful resource has been the Brother FAQ here:
https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqcategory.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hll2395dw_us_as&ftype2=176
Good luck! And let me know how you get on.

This is an update on my adventure with my new Brother HL-L2395DW
printer/scanner. Bottom line is that everything is going well.
My friend was by and installed the toner cartridge yesterday. Then she
left and I suddenly realized I'd neglected to have her discover the
default password.
So, it took a little on line digging, but I found a password. Once I had
that everything went smoothly.
* The printer plays sound when powering up, and a different sound

I have yet to try scanning, but I'm quite pleased so far.

Hi, no problem.
I don't expect any problems with wifi setup, but I haven't done that
task yet. I haven't powered up yet. I don't expect I'll get far enough
to do it if the toner isn't seated inside because that will generate an
error in the printer, and it won't go further.
So, let me say more about this later tomorrow.
I can tell you what I expect, and that is straight forward, no nonesense
configuration. That has always been my experience with Brother machines.
Feel better!

Hope off list is ok. My head hurts and I don't need to share that with
the group. :)
For months I've been fighting with the Windows VM. I have a large monitor
so am using large print. But some apps are making life difficult with
so-called updates that trash accessibility so its time to move full time to
my Mac. One major reason why its taking so long, aside from potholes that
develop one step in front of me is Duxbury. License is for Windows. $700
would get me a Mac license. If I do that I can save $99 by not renewing
Office 365.
As to the printer, my inkjet needs ink. I rather put the $70 towards a
laser printer so for me the 2395 would cost me half, $70! I'm not an Amazon
Prime member,
Did you have to use Brother software for wi-fi setup on the Mac?
My needs are simple. Easy wi-fi setup. Easy scan (I use FineReader).
Never tried multi page scanning but I probably will someday. I too want
minimum buttons.
I haven't used sirprint or airdrop. But that too someday.
On the toner I guess I can hold off on a spare toner as I do not print
that much any more.
Thanks so much for all the information you shared. I will probably place
an order tomorrow.

Yes, I looked at the 2710 and the 2750. I don't recall why I rejected
them. Possibly more than I need.
Amopng other things, I don't want too many compartments, too many
sliders, and too many buttons. I don't print all that much, and should I
ever need a multi-page duplex printout collated and saddle-stapled, I
think I'll just take the job to my local Fed Ex or UPS store and pay for
the privelege of letting them get it done right. They can see the
output, I can't.

Hi,
I just purchased a Brother HL-L2395DW for my home office. I'm expecting
it to work well for Apple/Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux--but I've
just gotten it out of the box.
It was $99 at Amazon. It supports print, copy, and scan. There's no
builtin fax, which is OK by me. Fax over an analog phone line isn't even
possible in my office any longer as I haven't had analog phone lines for
a decade.
I'll update in a day or so whether I had any issues getting printing and
scanning running from my Macbook Air, which is on Catalina.
Best,
Janina
