I purchased this printer to replace another failed Brother printer I had purchased a couple of years ago (a 5450DN). This one, the 5100DN, let me set the IP address to a fixed address from the printer console itself. I did not have to find the printer, and then log in via the printer's Web server to set the IP address. Further, when downloading the driver, I received a pop-up telling me that there was an important firmware update for the printer. Once the printer was set up, I logged into the new printer's Web server and found another new feature, the firmware update button. I clicked it. A couple of minutes later I could log in again and I had the updated firmware. So, this printer is user friendlier than the last one.
The old printer didn't have the best paper handling. To be blunt, it would jam more often than I would like. This one hasn't jammed, yet. Another aspect I like: The 5100 prints better. The 5450 printed too dark at 600 and 1200 dpi. This one is somewhat dark at 1200, but 600 is fine. No insane amounts of Gamma correction applied to each image if you want to print.
If you run Linux, and live within easy wire distance to your router, this is a very good printer.
12 December 2016 update: The thing still hasn't jammed. I'm raising this to five stars.
A few notes about this printer are in order:
1. It is not a WiFi printer. You must hook this up via a printer cord (to USB) or an ethernet cable. You MUST have one of these hooked up for the printer to work.
2. It is monochrome (it prints black ink only). If you need color printing, it's not for you.
3. It is not a scanner. It's only a printer.
4. It works with Google CloudPrint if it is hooked up to a computer in the aforementioned way.
5. It takes about 15 minutes to set up (including unboxing and driver download).
6. Works on PC and Mac. I set it up on both.
Overall, this product is the best monochrome printer for the price. It will give you a ton of prints for a low cost. It's pretty basic, but is awesome in certain contexts. I highly recommend this to anyone in the market for this type of printer!
This printer will work great for a wired Ethernet connection. I have had it for 6 months now and never once have had a connection problem. Unless you count the time my one year old unplugged it. It has jammed only once in the over 1000 pages printed, and that was because my family put a towel on it not allowing the paper to come out. The back opens for a very easy paper jam fix though. I’m not sure how well the usb portion works as it’s not included and I’ve only used the wireless connection.
All in all I think this is perfect for a small business or Home printer dedicated to print mass quantities of black and white (and double sided) prints. There is also a way to “reset/trick” toner on this model to make it print even if it gives you a low toner warning. I would happily buy this printer again.

Cosas a tomar en cuenta:
(*) NO es wifi.
(*) NO incluye cables de red o USB
(*) Para un usuario no experimentado en impresoras en RED puede ser tardado instalarla de esta manera. Pero si te animas, hay muchos tutoriales en internet o leyendo el manual en linea no tendras problemas mientras seas paciente.
(+) Imprime de los dos lados
(+) Para uso casero con muchos usuarios o una ofcina pequeña, creo que vale mucho la pena.
(+) Compatible con Windows, Linux y MacOS sin problemas. Con android mediante la aplicación de brother.
