The printer prints clearly, but I was disappointed with the printer for several reasons:
1) The printer does not support Google Cloud Print (GCP)'s duplex feature. Google Cloud Print supports duplex printing, but apparently the printer is not registering itself as a duplex printer with Google Cloud Print.
2) The printer sometimes sign out from Google Cloud Print if the printer has been sleeping. I have to power cycle the printer to get it to work again.
3) When the printer warms up, it takes a lot of power and trips my UPSs that are on other outlets. I have another major brand similar laser printer that does not take so much juice to warm up.
As Google Cloud Print support was one of the major reasons that I bought this printer, the printer's weak support for Google Cloud Print is why I am so disappointed with this printer.

I needed a fast black printer that I could hook up through the router for Linux and windows7, but I also needed to hook up a PC that was not Internet connected. This worked through a USB cable. So I have 5 Linux OS and windows7 connected through the router and a windows XP system attached through a USB cable. I did find a old Linux OS that would not use the router, but updating to a newer version fixed that.

We have only had the printer running for about a week so it is hard to tell how well it will hold up, we heard that it was a work horse. Setting up the wireless network was a pain, the instructions leave a lot to be desired, should not assume everyone is a computer geek and knows it all. We fineally got it up and running on 2 of the computers. I like the speed of printing and how clear it is. The price was very good, so far very happy.

I bought the printer to replace a previous Brother printer. This one works better, faster and gives as high or better quality as the previous one. I'm pleased and highly recommend. I'm also pleased that it comes equipped wih AirPlay so that I can print from my iPad or iPhone. Brother hit a home run with this one.
