MFC-7860DW

February 19, 2013

By MitchC from Baltimore, MD

While I really like this printer, the scanning has been a major pain. Sometimes it scans just fine while at other times it goes through the motions like it is scanning but nothing either pops up or is saved to my computer. So I de-install and then reinstall and it works for awhile then have to go through the same drill again. Why can't it just work???

Best Purchase Ever

February 4, 2013

By DougJ from TX

In the past I have bought ink jet printers. I have 5 of those, 2 Lexmark's and 3 HP's. I had to replace ink cartridges often but with this printer I have not had to buy any ink toner as of yet and I print often with the type of work that I do. I bought this printer before Christmas 2012 and it is still printing very good. All features work very good. I am so glad that I bought this printer.It is not noisy and goes to sleep rather quickly and awakes quickly also. No misfeeding.

Great Print-No Windows 8 Wireless Scanning

February 4, 2013

By RonD from Dallas, TX

I chose the MFC 7860 DW because the website indicated that it was wireless compatible with Windows 8. I was disappointed to see that the printer connects wirelessly but not the scanner. Both the Brother and Microsoft websites are user unfriendly in trying to set up wireless scanning and to find correct scanner drivers. The print quality is great.
