The DCP-8155DN product page says that it supports "scan to e-mail", which was one of the main reasons I decided to buy it. To my surprise, "scan to email" is *not* an option on the device: it's an option in the Brother software package (requiring a USB connection and Windows/MacOS). Since I'm using the device as a network printer in an all-Linux environment, the "scan to email" feature will not be available.
I do commend Brother for their Linux driver support, and everything else seems to work fine. I was just disappointed by that one missing feature. And, I can't think of a good reason for a host PC to be required... the device *is* capable of scanning to a thumbdrive, and is also able to send status reports via email, so it seems like it has all of the components onboard to scan to an email address instead of a thumbdrive. Maybe a firmware update could add this feature?

Very happy with this copy/printer. Ended up doing more than I had initially planned on especially on the duplex options. Easy set up and only took a short time to learn how to use the machine. Things I did not know became easy to me as I learned how it really work and what it offered.

Things I liked: fast startup and first print. fast print speeds. The single pass duplex scan is a really nice feature, saves time and less chance of paper jams/wrinkling.
Reason it didn't get the 5th star, it wasn't able to read some of the usb flash drives I inserted into it.
I didn't have time to figure out what the problem was and just worked around it.

This purchase was a great one, for speed, scanning, copying, and printing. However, I also needed my All-In-One (Multi-Function) machine to have a fax and it did not. That was VERY disappointing. What office is complete without a FAX, and stand-alone faxes are difficult to find these days if you want laser quality at a good price since all your other needs are met with the 8155DN.
