  • Summary: Brother support is awful.
  • Comment: I have a mac with snow leopard and tried to install drivers for this printer which I later found had to be downloaded from brother. I followed the instructions to set up a wireless network to a tee and would not recognize my network, which has always worked fine - only protected by a simple password. I then called support - I can't describe how rude, incompetent and unprofessional they were. First I talked to D.C. - unbelievably rude and unhelpful. Would not do even the slightest to help find network settings. If you support a mac, you should have some familiarity with a mac. He had no clue and covered for it with a defensive and agitated, rude demeanor. I was then transferred to Antonio who knew even less. He would ask for some information, and then when not found he would ask again and say something different (and with an attitude) and say he had said that in the first place. This occurred no less than 10 times. He had no idea where to find anything (network info) and would take very long pauses between instructions like he had to read forever on his end to know what to do. He did not disclose any options that we eventually had to use and tried to say I had to contact the wireless access point manufacturer for things that were very easy to find if he just had a clue. I will never buy a brother again because of the terrible staff they hire for support. By far the worst support I have EVER had to call.

  • Summary: great printer
  • Comment: this printer is amazing. Great print quality and quantity for the toner. Only issue is that the wireless is tough to set up and I still haven't gotten it to work. Nonetheless, definitely a great printer. Good buy

  • Summary: Great Printer
  • Comment: For the price, this printer is awesome. The built in wireless networking could easily have made this unit a couple hundred dollars more expensive, but this thing is cheap! The "easy" set up didn't work out too well for me, so I had to do it manually, but that wasn't very difficult to do. If you are using any sort of encryption, mac filtering, or SSID hiding, the easy set up isn't for you. Overall, this thing is great for the cheap price and I'd definitely purchase one again should the need arise.

  • Summary: Big Waste of Money
  • Comment: I have this printer at work. So do four other people in the office. It was time to replace the old printers, and this was the least expensive that we could get. It is very noisy (don't try to print anything while you are on the phone). It's really good at handling the paper. rarely has paper jams. The quality of the printouts is great. The major problems we all have are with the toner and drum. Both are required and are around 50+ a pop. The printer will show a light telling you the toner is going. That's a good thing. But will continue to print very clearly. Then one day when you really need to print something, it just stops. Then you sit an realize that the light had been on since you installed the new toner and you only got to use the toner for about a week. Same deal with the drum. The thing with the drum is that even when you go out spend the $55 on it and replace the old one, the light for drum doesn't go away, and we can't get the printer to work. Then corporate comes down on us because we are spending so much money on a new toner and drum every 2 weeks. But we had to buy the cheapest printer. I would not recommend this printer. Also, the plastic used to make the parts, is the kind that Creeks everytime you touch it. Really really cheap. Spend a few extra bucks on a better quality one. It will save you money in the long run.

  • Summary: Great little home or small office B/W laser printer
  • Comment: This is a great black and white laser printer for home or home office use. It is relatively small, quiet, fast and produces a nice looking printed page. I thought it was easy to set up, but I have done a couple of other wireless printers. And that is one of the nice features of this printer. Any where you have a power outlet is where you can place your printer. No network wires required. Maximum paper size is legal. Toner cartridges seem reasonably priced and I have read this printer goes 1500 pages per cartridge. I can't verify that because I haven't gone through a cartridge yet. Here is the best part...$89.99 including free shipping from Amazon. I received it in 3 or 4 days. I couldn't find a used laser printer for this price.
