Summary: Which Printer Should You Choose?

Choose M141w Laser Multifunction if you need:

  • A compact 5.39 kg printer measuring 360 × 264 × 197 mm, making it easier to place in a limited workspace.
  • Lower printing power consumption at 357 W, compared with 470 W for the other model.
  • Printing, copying, and scanning with Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, Mopria, and the HP app.

Choose Brother MFC-L2885DW Monochrome Laser Multifunction if you need:

  • Faster A4 printing at 34 ppm, compared with 20 ppm.
  • Automatic duplex printing and fax in addition to printing, copying, and scanning.
  • A 250-sheet input tray, a 2.7-inch colour TFT display, and a 50-sheet ADF.
  • Print and scan resolutions up to 1200 × 1200 dpi, plus toner options yielding up to 5,000 pages.

Decision: The MFC-L2885DW is the stronger overall model for functionality, speed, capacity, and resolution. The M141w may suit users prioritising a smaller footprint, lighter weight, and lower printing power consumption.

What Is the Difference Between HP LaserJet MFP M141w Printer and Brother MFC-L2885DW Monochrome Laser Multifunction Printer?

Both models are monochrome laser multifunction printers that support printing, copying, and colour scanning up to A4. They also provide USB, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, and Mopria for computer and mobile printing. The M141w includes a starter toner rated for approximately 500 pages.

The main differences are that the MFC-L2885DW adds fax and automatic duplex printing, while the M141w explicitly does not support either feature. It is also considerably faster at 34 ppm versus 20 ppm and holds 250 input sheets compared with 150. Brother adds a 2.7-inch colour TFT display and a 50-sheet ADF, while its print and optical scan resolutions reach 1200 × 1200 dpi compared with 600 × 600 dpi on the HP. It also provides 256 MB of memory versus 64 MB.

The MFC-L2885DW benefits users who process multi-page documents and require faster output, duplexing, fax, and greater paper capacity. The M141w better serves users prioritising a compact device: it weighs 5.39 kg instead of 11.8 kg and consumes less power while printing.
