No problems at all year 1. In year 2 it regularly goes offline and will not print. Built-in troubleshooter is of no help. Only uninstalling and reinstalling fixes the problem temporarily.

I hate this printer with a passion. Every single time I use it, i have to remove and re-add it to the network. Every. Single. Time. I've gone over it and over it with support and nothing will make it stay connected. I hate it so much I think I might burn it.

It doesn't print fast (at all it uses way more ink then my older printer I had and it takes so long for one paper to print.

I chose this printer because I had previous good experience with an older Brother printer. This model has copier scanner functions also which is very handy. I also like that this model uses the same toner cartridges as the previous one. Very easy to setup using Wifi

Great color laser printer. This is the first printer I’ve had that I’m able to print from my iPad. It’s also a great copier. I need a copier that can enlarge and reduce and this one does it so easily. It was easy to set up on my network and the printer display makes it very easy to use. The quality of color printing on plain paper is very good.

Got the initial printer. That died, so I got 2 replacement devices to replace it. Both of those have had problems or stopped working. Would not recommend this product to anyone. Customer service was great both times I tried to get replacement devices

I have this unit setup on my home network. Since I don't print a lot or even very often, the printer idles in wait state sometimes for days. However, when I need to print it comes alive and does a great job. To date I have not had any issue with it.

All features of this printer is good. But it lacks a continuous feeder on the copy plate that can be found in the higher price model of Brother printer. Overall I am very satisfied with the performance of the model I bought.

I love the machine. I like the paper capacity and the amount you can print before having to change ink. I feel the only drawback is the price of the toner. On the expensive side. I can buy after market for cheaper but they do not last as long. So I have to weigh the difference between changing more often or buying OEM. Two or three after market equal one OEM, but is still cheaper.

Far better than my old inkjet as there are no more clogged jets.

I first look at toner cost before ordering printers as I know that is where the real money is spent. This one I was able to get very inexpensive toner (relative to other brands so I bought it. At first I was amazed. Fast prints, great quality, plug and play to my Windows box. Then about 9 months in it started losing it's wifi connection to my router at least every other day. Relogging in would not fix, had to reset printer network option each time. Sometimes twice a day, but average about every few days. Printer is about 6 feet from router. Got with customer service while still under the 1 year warranty. Went through all the normal steps of upgrading this and that software and firmware. Each time things were good for a few days then lost connection again. Every time I got with customer service it was a new person and apparnetly they do not note anything as I'd have to go through all the same steps each time. After a few support communications and calls I finally said stop having me do the same things over and over. They then said I need to turn off my Windows firewall and that should fix the issue. I told them my computer should have nothing to do with whether the printer is connected to the network and it isn't just my Windows computer that has an issue. All our devices can't print because the printer is no longer on the network. After felt like an eternity of arguing that point they said that I need to call a network technician as the problem is my network. I tried to explain that we hav no less than 15 devices that can connect no problem and the printer worked great for 9 months that it is not my network. They held strong on that. What did I do? I found an HP with the least expensive toner I could find and use that now. I move this piece of junk up to my kids room where he can direct connect with USB as direct connecting works. But I spend a lot of money for a network printer which now only works with USB. I would stay away from this and basically anything Brother. I used to be a Brother fanboy and told all my friends that is the printer you want. Now I'm apologizing to all my friends. I expected them to send me a new printer and have me send this one back, or give me an option to get it fixed. They did neither. As far as I'm concerned they do not stand behind their product.

I have 2 girls who like to print. I got this mainly because I thought the toner cartrage would be a better deal and heck yes it is better. Not only the quality of the printer but the overall printed look is much better. They can print in color pretty much what ever they want.

printing from scans or from photos is not acceptable

This is a great printer. It has and does almost everything I need and nothing I don't. The text print quality is excellent as is the incidental color. Photos show a bit of banding and unevenness, but they are as good as any I've seen on other laser printers. It is quite loud when printing and could be a problem in some environments. As a copier, the resolution is a bit low, this can be circumvented by scanning to a computer and manipulating the image there. It uses more electricity in stand-by than I like, but I don't keep it turned on. The only thing I find that this machine lacks is an Ethernet port; no NFC may become an issue in the future, but I don't need it now. In all, this is a great not-so-little machine. (Please Note - I have not had to buy toner yet!

I bought this printer at the recommendation of a friend. While the duplexing is nice, I am not impressed with the print quality or manual feed. Sadly, I would return this printer if I could.

Awesome
By Poopsie
This is my first laser printer. Why I never bought one sooner I will never know. I researched printers for about two weeks before I bought the Brother. It was easy to set up and I like the clean look of the printer. I wanted a color printer that didn't have a fax feature, as I don't fax documents. Sounds like a simple request, but try to find one. Brother to the rescue! Great value for the money.
