The Brother MFC-L2885DW is the best overall choice because it provides substantially greater speed, automation, connectivity, capacity, and functionality. The Canon MF3010 remains suitable when a smaller, lighter USB-connected printer is the priority.
Both models provide monochrome laser printing, copying, and colour scanning. They also support A4 paper, offer 600 × 600 dpi copy resolution, include output capacity of at least 100 sheets, and provide USB 2.0 connectivity.
The main differences are that the MFC-L2885DW adds faxing, automatic duplex, and a Dual CIS scanner with a 50-sheet ADF, while the MF3010 has a flatbed scanner and manual duplex. The Brother prints at 34 ppm versus 18 ppm, holds 250 input sheets versus 150, and includes 256 MB of memory versus 64 MB. It also supports Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, Mopria, and Brother Mobile Connect, whereas the Canon lists USB as its standard connection. Brother's optical scan resolution reaches 1200 × 1200 dpi compared with 600 × 600 dpi.
The MF3010 benefits users who need a simpler, smaller, and lighter unit for basic computer-connected tasks. The MFC-L2885DW better serves workflows requiring multi-page document handling, higher speed, wireless access, faxing, and greater paper capacity.
The MFC-L2885DW offers 34 ppm printing versus 18 ppm, automatic duplex, a 50-sheet ADF, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and faxing. It also holds 250 input sheets compared with 150. The MF3010 is smaller and lighter, weighing 8.2 kg versus 11.8 kg.
Based on current prices, MF3010 Black & White Laser Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 185 USD versus 260 USD for MFC-L2885DW Monochrome Laser 4 in 1 Printer. The price difference is 75 USD, about 28.8% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
The MF3010 may suit users who need basic USB-connected printing, copying, and scanning in a smaller and lighter unit. The MFC-L2885DW is more suitable when higher speed, multi-page ADF handling, automatic duplex, wireless connectivity, and fax capability are required.
Both are monochrome laser printers with printing, copying, colour scanning, A4 support, and USB 2.0 connectivity. Each provides 600 × 600 dpi copy resolution. Their output capacities are 100 sheets for the Canon and 120 sheets for the Brother, and both use 220–240 V power.
The MFC-L2885DW leads in all three areas. It prints at 34 ppm on A4 versus 18 ppm and holds 250 input sheets versus 150. Its toner options yield 1,200, 3,000, or 5,000 pages, while the replacement Canon Cartridge 725 is rated for 1,600 pages.
