Is this drum unit originally from Hewlett Packard product? Does this product have manufacture guarantee?

I cannot answer those questions, but the drums look just like what came with the printer. I have had no problems with them. (Except, the first refill when I didn't realize that the ink cartridge is separate from the holder. Just read the directions more carefully than I did and you will be fine. I like them beause they are a good price and hold up well.

The one I received IS a REFURBISHED unit. On the headband in the middle it's clearly printed "REFURB-W".

it is oem (ORIGINAL) not remanufactured or "no frills" brand. I tried that one time and I'll never do that again. the toner started to run and bleed on the paper and that affected the drum. It's just not worth it.

It came ready to go. The toner lasted about 3 months (light to medium usage). have not had to replace the drum yet...

The toner and drum are part of the unit. It's ready to roll when you take it out of the box.

It is very easy. But before replacing the drum, be sure to have tried cleaning the inside of the printer as well as the drum roller, by following Brother printer instructions (can be found on website). Also, there is a place inside the printer above the drum area, that is a little rectangular glass area that you should try to clean first. There might be toner splatter up there that might be disfiguring your printed pages. I try to do a good cleaning prior to giving up on the drum. But, alas, I have replaced drums because I really like the printer and want to keep using it. The only mess is clean up, the drum itself just requires to be replaced. There are also instructions in informing the printer itself that it is having its drum replaced. I found Brothers website very useful to research prior to actually changing out the drums. Very detailed instructions/suggestions.

I would suggest contacting the manufacturer. One of the few design issues I have is the way the handle works, it's too easy for it to catch when I'm rotating the drum forward. Fortunately I've been careful and haven't had a handle break.

Hi Clint, Thanks tons for your insight. I believe I'll look at the DP-03 after considering your comments. Does the DP-03 have a built in drum machine? It's not overly important, just a 'nice to have'.

Hi Jim,I am no drum expert, but it seems real to me. I have purchased kits from Walmart before and this is by far of better quality. Sorry I could not be more help.

The initial unit contains both drum and toner. I couldn't get a p/n off of the toner cartridge, but extrapolating from the usage data (available on the lcd menu), I deduce it's a 2000 count cartridge. I know there are 4000 count Oki cartridges for this unit on the market, but have not done extensive research. Using a low count/starter cartridge is a standard industry practice and you would expect that in a price-competitive industry. As far as the drum, I once again calculated based on usage data and deduced that it will last about 20,000 pages. Overall, I have been quite happy with the Oki and even happier to get away from the complexity and expense of a color printer. The initial unit contains both drum and toner.

Yes, I used my drum until the copies were coming out bad, which was well past the time of counter replacement notification.

Answer here...Yes, I purchased my unit brand new and the Limited Warranty Period indicates 1 year parts and 1 year labor. What I like about HP hardware products is that the warranty is international and is honored as long as there is a local HP service center within a certain country.

Printer does come with drum & cartridge. Only use as network printer & only have computers (no ipads). Would not recommend this printer. Replacement toner cartridges have been difficult to find & print quality has been mediocre at best. Printer is not user friendly. Wish I had gone with HP in comparison analysis even though it had slightly higher operating cost.

According to the BASIC User's Manual the HL-2280DW printer uses the DR420 drum unit

If you are worried about the warranty, then get the unit's serial number and call HP to confirm the dates. The printer that we bought had been unboxed, but appeared new in every other way and has worked without incident for years. This thing is heavy, so shipping and related damage might be a bigger issue. For what it's worth, we would not hesitate to replay the buying experience again.

I'm guessing you're looking for toner, not drums. This is the wrong product. DO NOT OPEN. Vendor will not accept returns if you open it. However, if you really need a new drum, the cyan, Magenta, & yellow are identical and interchangeable. But you probably want toner. .. search for product number TN-210M for Magenta.
