Very good printer and scanner. Superior tech support from Brother.
This was my first new printer in several years, and my first tank printer. It does use cartridges, though they are huge compared to what I had before. Print quality is very good, more than adequate for my needs. It is FAST! I was astounded at how quickly it will print out a page, even in full color.Getting it set up was a bit of a challenge for me, since unlike my previous printers, all of the software has to be downloaded and all we have is slow DSL. I connected it to my wife’s computer with a USB cable, and that was pretty straightforward. Connecting it to wi-fi was easy, though I had to scan the network several times. When connecting to my computer in another room, I was unable to add it in Windows, so I had to download the software and use that to connect to it. Windows could find it on my network, but kept asking for a WPS PIN for the printer, which apparently does not exist.I called Brother tech support twice with questions that I could not find answers to in the manual, and they were very courteous and knowledgeable. Much better than most help desks that I have dealt with.Online documentation leaves a lot to be desired, in my opinion, but the superior tech support makes up for that.I may update this review after I’ve had more experience with this unit, but so far I am quite happy with it.

LOVE THIS PRINTER
After two recent attempts with failed Canon printers that were pieces of junk (and for years I did have a Canon printer I really liked until it just plain wore out), this Brother printer is such a relief! It is very attractive. It does have a larger footprint than many inkjets, but it feels well made and not flimsly like the Canons. I don’t mind the size, but if space is an issue, that could be a consideration. Out of the box WiFi wireless hook was easy to accomplish, as was installation of the scan software and wireless connection to printer. Very good directions. This printer has a very deep paper tray so unlike the Canon I don’t have to keep reloading paper all the time. This printer prints so much faster than the Canons. I realize it has only been a couple of weeks, but I truly love this printer. If things go south, I will provide an update – but as of now, I am beyond happy with this purchase. (Because of my bad experiences with Canon, I actually did buy the insurance protection on this one, just in case).An Update Four Months Later: I still LOVE this printer. Quality! Unbelievable speed of printer and scanner saves so much time! I will never go back to Canon or HP cheapo printers. I am definitely now part of the Brother Printer Family. Black ink has been replaced once (and I print a LOT) and color ink still half full. Paper tray holds so much paper so not constantly having to reload paper. Nice quality print. I actually can not say enough good things about this printer after four months of fairly hard use.An Update Almost Ten Months Later: I still LOVE this printer! I recently ran into an issue with the document feeder making dark lines on scans. I found an easy-to-understand tutorial from Brother on how to solve this issue – and yes, it worked. I print and also scan a lot, and this printer handles it all with ease. SO incredibly happy I decided to try this printer even though I had no prior knowledge of Brother products. Very strong 10 out of 10.

Fantastic printer, so happy with this purchase!
We were shopping for a new home printer and at first bought a Canon. After 2 hours on the phone with customer service and another hour trying to set it up ourselves, we gave up and returned it. Wouldn’t connect to the wifi, wouldn’t connect to our computers, issues issues issues.We bought this Brother as a second try and just set it up in 10 minutes, literally connected to the wifi, our phones and computers in minutes. Also printed this photo quickly from my phone, the quality is impressive. Full sheet color took about 30 seconds, black and white in like 2.Absolutely 5 stars, would buy again and recommend for anyone looking for an easy to set up home/small business printer.

Have had this printer for 9 months in our home office. It has printed reams of paper. Just reordered ink – I thought the ink was expensive – like almost $100 per color for the XL cartridges from Brother. That said, it has been dependable and provided excellent color. I wanted this printer because of the fact that it can print letter, legal, and tabloid. I love the printer.

I haven’t used it enough to give an accurate review. Print quality and speed is great. I use 11×17 paper for drawings.The only issue so far is I need to keep resetting the wifi when machine is not used for a day or so. Machine is only 10ft from router.

UPDATE: Printer will not align anymore and prints wavy. About 1 year in it started acting funny. Did all the maintenance I could find out about all to no avail. It will not auto adjust and manual adjust makes no difference. Quite frustrating will have to get a new printerGreat printer, great multifunction capabilities, very quick. Print quality for pictures is meh but better than any color laser I have seen.Works great easy to set up etc. But it is a massive ugly thing with multiple paper trays that need a lot of side space
