Hello Grespo55
The two devices you mentioned use practically the same consumables (DR-241CL, toner are almost identical). They also use the almost identical printer driver. The result will therefore be the same in practice.
However, the printer driver (PC) offers some setting options to correct the described "error". By default, the quality is set to "Document (mixed)". By changing this to e.g. "Photo/Picture" or/and also changing the brightness and contrast, good results can be achieved with both devices. These self-selected settings in the printer driver can then also be saved as a profile and thus recalled again and again.
Please note that laser printers do not deliver "good" photo print quality compared to inkjet devices. In comparison, the quality of laser prints is usually disappointing.
