This All-In-One is the second Brother printer I have purchased. The first one lasted a long time, and was more expensive. I need only a printer that is for home use, although I am a writer and appreciate having many pages that can be loaded in for copying and printing. This is better than my last printer on that score. The touch pad is simpler than pushing a lot of buttons as was on my prior printer. I do like the ability to print in color and so have opted for a cartridge machine rather than ink jet. The reminder to purchase cartridges is nice, but I prefer to buy from a store. My son told me the cartridges you can refill now used in some machines is a real money saver. I have used cartridges that are refillable before, and I personally don't like that method. This MFC seems to fill the bill for me. I do wish I could find a way to connect to Comcast to send faxes, however. My printer is not close to the Xfinity modem which handles the land line phone. My land lines are wireless except for the base...not convenient. This is not the fault of the printer.Read full review

This is the second time we've purchased this very same top-rated #1 ink-jet by Consumer Reports Brother ink-jet. Need I say any more? Just buy this printer and set it up. One very important caution: Be absolutely sure to change each and every ink cartridge *before* it completely runs out of ink! Letting one or more of them do so will lead to premature print head failure The enemy is air getting into the head, leading to its failure. *Do this each and every time and you'll extend the life of this printer.* The head is much, much too expensive to replace after it fails. You've been warned!

Good quality, good design, fast, ink readily available (& less expensive than HP.) However, color is pale in regular print mode. I must try the photo mode, it may be better or perhaps I'm missing out on some color setting.

Buying a printer is difficult because everybody seems to hate every printer. I dreaded the set-up experience- but it was easy- instructions on the small screen walked me right through. I did have the ideal situation with a Mac on wifi. The printer and computer connected right up- and I even am able to scan wirelessly- a success never before achieved. (Windows requires a software download- which may or may not be a fresh hell.) After a few weeks so far all good. Print quality is fine. Ink prices seem cheaper than my deceased Canon. Only glitch is that scans won't appear on desktop, even when that destination selected. I don't know where they go, and I have to remember what number scan I'm up to and do a spotlight search.

There are many online videos relating to setting up and using the printer. Follow directions and set-up and printing will be easy. My printing habits vary, but normally I do not print a lot on a daily basis. The ink capacity and printing quality for this Brother printer are good for my purposes.
