Best Printer Ever! Works with everything.
I very rarely write reviews, but this printer deserves one. I have had many printers over the years. This is my first color laser printer and it is fantastic. It works wirelessly with my PCs, Mac, and even the Chromebook and our iPhones. The setup was super easy. I just let it join my WiFi network and it shows up in all my devices. What can I say. I love this printer.

Seems to work well
I bought this to replace my Lexmark printer which lasted 5 years before the imager unit burned out. I chose Brother because they have great Linux support and drivers, and setting it up was fairly easy, however I have one caviat – if you want to set this up as a network printer, and you run a VPN on your computer, remember to disconnect from the VPN before you attempt to set it up, or your computer will never be able to find it!Otherwise, it’s a very good quality unit, and I like the way it’s designed – simple to replace toner cartridges and opening for paper jams, etc. I anticipate getting many years of use out of this printer!

“Replace Toner” while full of toner. Complete waste of Money and Toner
I’ve never had a printer before where I’m unable to either override the “out of ink” or “out of toner” messages. Unfortunately, the moment I decide to buy a more expensive printer, I get one that doesn’t let me. Literally stopped printing in the middle of an important job, documents I had to bring the following morning. It was clear there was PLENTY of toner left, as the final page printed was perfect and crisp. And yet, there was NO way to override it to print 2 more pages. God knows how much was actually still left in it. For professional use, this is completely unacceptable and dangerous. Quite obvious they want you to hop on a subscription plan, which is ridiculous.Printing quality itself is great, no complains there. Is fast, looks good.But that first issue is a deal breaker. Will be attempting to return this.

Works well, drops off line at time for wireless printing
Works well. Fast printing with double sided duplex built in. At times does not wakeup to print from wireless network connection. Have to turn off and back on to get to print.

Fantastic printer
I’m loving this printer so far. Easy to set up on all the windows and mac computers in the house. Easy to print from iPhones (if just a tad bit slower than I’d expect…). I have it set up with ethernet and the printer is discovered immediately every time I’ve printed. Really impressed and glad I didn’t listen to some of the reviews that had issues with connectivity/etc because this is miles better than my last HP printer!

So far, so good
In the past, printer setup has been a nightmare, so I’ve been avoiding getting a new one. Finally bit the bullet and went with this model because my old Brother monochrome has run great for 8 years.Network connection was astonishingly easy. Brother wants you to use their app to set the thing up, but I didn’t want to bother with that and just did it manually. With my big sausage fingers on a small touch screen, it took about a minute to connect to wifi. Our computers (Macs) and phones found the printer immediately and it was off to the races. The first few print jobs look great and there were no hiccups along the way.Granted, this review comes after only a couple hours of use, but so far I’m very pleased.

Perfect
Set up was easy, print quality is greatJust to balance out the other review, I’ve printed several full page color prints and haven’t made a dent in the toner supply that came with it.

Love it!!
After many years my previous laser printer took a dive. I replaced it with a inkjet model. It wasn’t really bad but only lasted a year +. And of course I had the expense of replacing the inkjet ink more often than I wish that I had to. But with this one I get much better quality and after severalMonths I’m still using the first set of ink cartridges. This printer was incredibly easy to link to my numerous devices and has never lost connection to any of them. This is a blessing for me because my wife gets easily frustrated when electronics challenge her. It my opinion that the extra cost of laser bs inker is easily offset by the ease and confidence of performing when I need it. And although print speed isn’t important to me because I use it in my home, it prints quickly and is, of course, much quieter than any inkjet can possibly be.

Me decepcionó la calidad de impresión. Sobre todo en colores lisos. Como pueden ver salen rayas. En el gris sale una raya rosa y en la segunda se perciben otras de color gris más fuerte. Es nueva, no se supone que debe hacer eso.
