I bought an Brother HL-2170W about 8 mths ago for a very reasonable price and it has worked flawlessly.


I have refilled the toner once. It prints wirelessly from my iMac, iPad, & a pc laptop.


The Brother tech support was very good during my initial setup (mainly for the pc laptop). I haven't needed to call them since.


Before the Brother, I had a Samsung ML 2510 that was not wireless. It played well with my pc & iMac.


Very easy to refill.

I have the following on my iMac desktop: Brother HL-2170W series.app (From Brother)


I am using a Time Capsule for my wireless.


I don't have any specific app for Brother running on my 1st Gen iPad.


If I want to print from Safari, I just tap the little box that has a small curved arrow in it and I get the following Menu:


Add Bookmark

Add to Home Screen

Mail Link to this Page

Print


I tap on "Print" and it prints on the Brother.


Most of the free apps I run on the iPad don't have a "Print" option.


Brother does now have an iPad App but I haven't tried it.


I think the Brother app on my iMac set something up on the Time Capsule in order for the iMac to print to the Brother.


I bought the iPad just before the release of the 2nd Gen and it just worked with the printing.


It may have something to do with one of the IOS 4 updates.


I don't know if the printing will work if you are using some other wireless router.


I'm sorry I can't be more specific.


I can say that all this Apple Goodness just seems to play well together.
