Wireless is a pain

January 2, 2013

By Bellybones from New York

I have trouble networking to the printer/scanner. It periodically stops working with my computer. I hate the bloatware packaged with the install disk, something like, "PDF Writer". Really? You think I need something like that at this point? I don't know if it's the wireless aspect of this printer/scanner or that Brother model itself, but it is not fun. One thing I know for sure: I will never buy another one of this model again, and probably won't buy Brother either.

Easy Setup and Fast Printing

January 2, 2013

By JABmediaLLC from Milwaukee, WI

My husband and I own a small desktop publishing company. In the digital age, we don't have to print much, but after years of using inkjet and dealing with bleeding ink, slow printing, etc for the few documents that we do print, we decided to switch to laser for our basic document and label printing. So far, this printer has exceeded our expectations. I can print from anywhere in our house and it works quickly. The double-sided function is great, too. We will be considering Brother laser printers for our color printing needs in the future.
