Brother HL-5170 Printer Review
The Brother HL-5100 series of laser printers is designed for homes and small offices. We reviewed the single-user base model, the Brother HL-5140. If you need a duplexer, consider other models in this series, starting with the HL-5150D. The HL-5170DN includes networkability, while the HL-5150DLT adds an extra paper tray.
