Easy setup, make sure you enable toner “continue mode”,
Wireless setup is a breeze, even without a computer. It took me 8 minutes (timed) from unboxing the printer to my first wireless print on Mac OS X.
Thanks to the 16 character LCD display, you can pretty easily poke your way through menus to configure everything about the printer, including Wi-Fi networks (Network -> WLAN -> Setup Wizard). Or you can just use WPS: press a button on your router, press a button on your printer, and you’re done. Both methods worked fabulously. Once connected, you can visit the printer’s admin interface in your browser to tweak addition settings or configure Google Cloud Print.
The printer immediately appeared in Mac OS X 10.9’s “Nearby Printers” list, and drivers were automatically downloaded and configured the first time I attempted to print to it. It took a bit longer to set it up in Ubuntu, but it did eventually work under Linux.
One word of warning: when the printer decides that it’s time to replace the toner, it will simply stop printing, even if there’s still adequate toner remaining. Per the user manual, you can “turn on Continue Mode to force the machine to continue printing even if the control panel indicates that it is time to replace the toner cartridge.” Unfortunately, “when the Replace Toner error message is active, you cannot turn this mode on unless you change the toner cartridge.”
…So make sure you turn on Continue Mode early in the toner’s life. It’s easy to set on the printer itself (General Setup -> Replace Toner -> Continue), or via the web interface.
Otherwise, I’m pretty happy. It’s a printer.

|Printer comparison,
1. The HL-L2360DW has 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet port to connect the router directly into the printer, and the HL-L2340DW does not have this feature. It will connect wireless to the router, which is fine for most people.
2. The HL-L2360DW prints 32ppm b/w while the HL-L2340DW prints 27 ppm b/w. You might never tell the difference.
Other than that, all other specs are exactly the same between these two newer printers. Therefore, for most people, the HL-L2340DW will work just fine.
