It works well, good quality full feature printer
By warrantyfreak
I like this printer because it works well and has important features. Prints come clear and fast. The wireless set up is easy, the fax works flawlessly, the copy machine too. I haven't tried the scanner yet, but I'm sure it will perform to satisfaction. The features that I like the most about this printer is its speed, the wireless capabilities (I can easily print from several laptops around the house and from tablets), the automatic feeder, and the double-sided printing. The automatic feeder is a great feature for me because it makes it easy to load originals to either copy or fax. The double-sided printing saves me paper and space. It also offers several printing preference options to save ink, including a "ink saver" mode. Overall, it's a full feature, good quality, solid printer.

So Far So Good
By Iv
I have owned this printer for a short time and am happy with it so far. I picked it up for $69 at best buy on a tax free weekend. The first unit I purchased had an issue or two. It was misfeeding about 1/5, and though this is costly it was not the major reason I called customer service for Brother. Without going to sleep, if I let it set more that two minutes between prints it would go through a 3-5 minute warm up procedure. =0|. Knowing I only had about 15 days to turn in the unit if I didn't get this hashed out I went in to the Store and was prompted not to even bother figuring it out and bring it back. I am very glad that I did.

The new unit is fast and makes one sweep of the mechanism even from a rest before making my print (a delay of only 5sec) very doable. The wireless set up and printer settings were complete in under 10 minutes. It took me longer to remove all the old drivers and printer form my system preferences than to add this printer. Print quality is good and though I have not tried photo paper yet I am still impressed.

And I like the idea of only replacing the ink well that is empty in stead of replacing all of them just over one empty well...really. what a waste of money.

Love the printer, so far, and like being able to support a local company.

Compatible with Linux- has a great iPad app too
By LinuxMan03
I was looking for a Linux compatible all-in-one printer for wireless network printing. Brother is one of the few (if only) companies that consistently support Linux operating systems; therefore, I am very partial to Brother.
FYI, I am running Ubuntu 13.04, 64bit. First I manually set the printer to a static IP address (within the router's range), set the gateway, and subnet mask. Usually, after Ubuntu finds the printer, the drivers load automatically. Unfortunately, this did not occur as expected. I went to the Brother website and found .deb and .rpm files, but even after loading the .pdd file, it did not work. Finally, a FAQ section for the Linux drivers included an install file that I could run on the terminal. After downloading the file, I opened terminal and point to the script using the 'bash' command. So go to the folder, then type "bash brother_driver" The script prompted quite a bit of downloading and installing, but it worked perfectly.
Then the easy part, Brother has a wonderful iPad app that allows you to print and scan. After I installed the app, the app found the printer, scanned a document and emailed it.
Overall, yes, I would recommend this printer. I'm always going to be a Brother customer as long as they keep putting out drivers for Linux. Unlike other manufacturers, Brother is very helpful to customers; directions are detailed and help is available.
