This piece of crap will not print in black and white when one of the color cartridges is empty. Why???? All other printers on the face of the earth will print in black and white if a color cartridge is empty. Complete nonsense! Don't buy this crap.

I'm not the techy guru... so this review is for those of you who know just enough about computers and printers to get through your day.Good:1. Relatively easy set-up. I haven't tried to receive faxes through my computer yet (which takes additional set-up steps) but everything else went smoothly.2. Printing comes out pretty quick, black and white or color (colors are also accurate).3. Ink lasts for a decent length of time, my Canon was MUCH worse. I also like the way it notifies you of how much ink is left. It does a little pop-up on the lower right side of your computer screen, then silently goes away after a few seconds.4. Replacing the ink is easy, you just open this little door on the right and pop it in. No more chasing the ink well back and forth every time you open the cover!5. I like the way it prints, you just press print and it does it right away. My Canon always had this extra screen that would pop-up and stay up until you clicked it closed. Drove me nuts! This all-in-one tries to be as unobtrusive as possible.6. The wireless feature is a godsend - now I can be on the laptop in the kitchen or living room and just send whatever I need to the printer in the home office without unplugging and plugging in wires.7. Faxing is reliable and accurate, but what's with the post-fax tray? It's too small, so the papers tend to just slide right off the machine after they come out. It's works the way it's supposed to, though, and that's really what matters.Bad:1. Maybe I just print a lot, but it always seems to be out of paper... I think the tray is just too small. Unlike other printers where you can just slip the paper into the top feeding tray when you notice the paper is running low, you have to remove the Brother's bottom paper tray to load it with paper then put it back in before continuing. An extra step that's slightly annoying.2. Originally, I couldn't get the wireless feature to work on my Vista laptop. Ruining the whole point of the purchase. Customer Service was VERY friendly and tried to help, but after several steps basically told me I was screwed and should contact my laptop manufacturer - Gateway. Well, lesson learned, Gateway's Customer Service has got to be the WORST - no help at all unless I wanted to pay around $200 just for them to THINK about my problem (and I've only owned the laptop for just over a year, figures). So I started searching around for help online with the error message I was getting, and lo and behold, I fixed the problem myself! Amazing, since I'm not that techy.3. The cordless phone that it came with was defective and would not let you hear phone calls. You couldn't even hear a dial tone unless you pressed speaker phone. Strangely, the person on the other end could hear me fine. This became a major issue trying to get only the phone swapped out. After numerous phone calls and finally going through a supervisor, I had to fax my Amazon receipt and put a $1 deposit on my credit card to ensure I sent the defective phone back. It's like they didn't believe me that it didn't work, I think they thought I turned the volume way down and didn't know how to adjust it. New phone does work, but my unit's phone cradle does NOT come off the base and it doesn't have an AC adaptor (to allow you to put the phone somewehere else on the desk if need be). It should (based on the product description), but you're stuck if it doesn't...though it's not the end of the world.4. The fax format is tricky if you have your own answering machine or voicemail through your phone company. You have to leave the Brother on MANUAL, but then you have to change it each time you want to receive faxes. It won't receive automatically without interfering with your personal answering machine.5. Sometimes it simply won't turn on. It gives me 3 short beeps. The woman that was helping with the phone exchange suggested I plug it into the wall - that it might not be getting enough power to the unit. It won't reach a wall outlet where I've placed it, just the power strip. It's only happened 3 times since I've owned it (2 months), but I've figured out that if I unplug it and then plug it back in it turns on fine. Maybe she's right about the power, but I've never heard of that.Overall:Would I purchase this unit again? Most likely, though now I've seen it advertised at a local warehouse for $20 less so that's annoying. I got this one because of the cordless phone feature, but now that I have it you could easily purchase the step below model that has the regular phone. That unit is even less money for basically the same features. The good news is that I don't see needing to replace this unit any time soon. It's construction is sturdy and I don't think its features will lose their usefulness. My Canon was always having ink/printing issues and I thought about taking a sledgehammer to it. I definitely prefer the Brother product over Canon.

I bought this as a replacement handset for my Brother MFC-845CW machine. Works great, made me realize how much the older handset (7 years old?) had gotten cranky. The old one had a button that was really hard to push and this one is easy, like it should be, and answers when I pick up, without me having to hit any buttons.You can also use this as an extra handset in another room, so I may purchase another. Great phone.

I bought one of these as a refurb about 3 years ago. What attracted me was the cheap toner, network, and duplex capabilities.Having owned it for all these years, the only thing that is really bad about it is that it causes the lights to dim when printing. I am still on my original toner that came with it. It jams on occasion as even the most expensive PSC devices do, but it gives you text instructions on the LCD display for how to resolve the jam which are usually pretty good.On windows, the install is dead easy. This printer works great with CUPS in network mode so you don't have to tie up a computer just to act as a print server. Brother has a dedicated Linux driver and instruction site which is very helpful. However, Linux setup is a bit more involved. I have been scanning and printing over the network to/from this printer using Ubuntu for years, and I couldn't be happier.

Well, give it up for another company that sent it's customer service people jobs overseas - they can only read from a script and nothing else. I purchased this printer at Staples yesterday; got a great deal on it (SO I THOUGHT) 'cause they were clearancing them out for the newer model. I even looked at Amazon reviews prior to purchasing it. Some were so stellar I thought, "Hey, I have to give this a try!" but the bad ones really made me nervous. Guess I should've gone with my gut.I happily unpacked it today, put the cartridges in, and it printed out a perfect page. HOORAY! NOT SO FAST THERE 'PARDNER...I shouted in jubilation far too quickly. Immediately it went into convulsions (that machine gun sound) and gave me the dreaded error, "Unable to Init. AF". I went through all the troubleshooting online and called their "Customer service" center (and I use this term loosely). He said it definately needed to be replaced, and would be happy to assist.He said that he'd need a credit card to put a $50 hold on my credit card "In case the original machine is not returned". WHAT? I said, "I don't have a credit card". My only other two options were to take it to service center (this thing is HEAVY...I should not have to lug it an hour away to get it repaired - oh, and wait at least a week); or I could pay to insure it and send it back to Brother at my OWN EXPENSE.After hours of this nonsense (trying to get a non-working new printer to work) and dealing with non-English speaking individuals who don't understand the nuances of the English language, I'm perturbed and will NEVER recommend or purchase a Brother product again. I will find someone who can give me a credit card so this can be exchanged and be done with it; but will spread the word that this company is awful to do business with - and that this product should be avoided at all costs. Hopefully the replacement works; I'll update this later if it does not.I purchased one other Brother printer this year - through Amazon, and had to send it back as it also have untold errors. Does Mickey Mouse put these things together?Is there a number less than ZERO I could give this manufacturer and product? Sure wish there was!

Although the machine prints fine, you will sink more money into ink than warren buffett could. When the ink is out, you CANNOT DO ANYTHING, repeat WHEN OUT OF INK THE MACHINE SHUTS DOWN and it RUNS OUT OF INK AFTER 10 PAGES. I cannot warn you enough how much of a headache this will become for you if you like me, print things at home every so often.

I am an architect and do a lot of graphic work. I needed an 11x17 all-in-one printer, scanner, copier. This fit the bill, but it has a very non-user friendly interface and the print quality is subpar. Beyond the frustrating functionality, my original machine just stopped one day- no response at all. They replaced my new machine with a refurbished machine that is working even worse. Constantly pausing and needed to be restarted. Now, I am moving on and going to a new product. The best case scenario is I get a refurb machine that still is still tough to use and prints poorly. No thanks.

My lord is this thing huge! Could easily be 50-70% lighter and we would all save money. Clearly an old office copier/fax design given some no brainer e-feature makeovers for the 21st century. Slower even than the featherweight HPs. And have never seen a ups cable connection buried so deeply inside any machine tho moot point for wifi.Got it because will be using for my engineering work so that I can print 'B' size [11x17] drawings for review then scan them in with my color markup copies and email to my customers. Simply no other competitor anywhere near with all the features I wanted [11x17 print and flat bed scan/copy] in this price range. Have not used fax for years so this feature rich function is of no interest to me especially as I do not have a land line and cannot fax over Skype ... yet [jist yew wayeit 'enry 'iggins, jist yew wayeit].Found setup to proceed quickly even the wifi part - just need to tay aptenshion!Plenty of warnings in the manual to not turn off the machine as it wastes ink! Actually, only way to 'unpower' it is to unplug it as when off still draws nearly 1 amp.Strange comment at the bottom of manual pg 156 [1st page discussing error and maintenance messages] that if it is set to print on certain types of paper in B&W print mode not only will it stop all print operations if ink gets low you cannot use the machine until you change to a new ink cartridge if you have either turned the machine off or removed the cartridge. Not a bidniz friendly feature.One of the added benefits this machine offers is reasonably priced ink refills tho I have been in the habit of refilling my own HP ink cartridges due to their usurious retail prices so will probably give these a home refill try, too.BTW got this new for just over $210 with no shipping! Now listing for over $370! Had been planning on getting the prior non-wifi model used for mid-$100s when this popped up.

My hp 6150 i had for a while ,it was outdated and slow,it broke down so i decided to shop for another brand and choose Brother.The design caught my attention and then i read up on it and love the specs, i orderd it and it came in record time. It was easy to set up ,print quality is awesome, speed is great and the best thing i like about it is it goes totally to sleep when not in use.This machine i used for my home office and it is great. I would definately recomend this to anyone replacing or buying a machine for the fisrt time ,although a little pricey ,I have always learnt you get what you pay for.

I've never written an Amazon review before but I feel so cheated by Brother that I want to warn people away from this product. I'd give it zero stars if I could.Besides the fact that the scanning software is clunky, you can't print in black & white on this thing unless all the color cartridges are full. You have to keep it supplied with expensive color cartridges in order to print in black & white.What a rip-off. I sincerely regret this purchase and it's too late to return it, but at least maybe I can prevent other people from making my mistake.

I bought this printer to replace my 9-year old all-in-one device because I am tired or paying as much as the printer costs for a color ink cartridge. I love the fact that this printer uses separate cartridges. I already have one of these on my desk at work, and that sealed my decision to buy it for home. HP and Brother are the names to go with when printing text (which I do a lot). The text is crisp, with no detectable "fuzzies" around the characters. I chose the Brother printer because over my many years of purchasing HP printers, the software has become so bloated that I often have difficulty installing it. There is no excuse for that. The Brother software takes a little while to install (about 20 minutes on my Windows 7 machine), but it's easy to use and light on my system. The ink cartridges are very easy to get in and out. And of course, the networking feature is just icing on the cake for me. Plug it into the router, and instant access across my house.I have two downers on this printer:1. The paper tray is enclosed. Not only does this mean that it HAS to be removed to fill, but I can't tell how much paper remains in the tray just by looking at it. Good thing it beeps (and beeps and beeps) when it runs out of paper (or ink for that matter.2. When the printer decides it's out of ink, it stops working - completely. All of my past HP printers would bark at me saying the ink was low or out, but would keep right on printing, so I could look at the page and decide if it was time to change the cartridge. The Brother printers disable all features (including scanning) when THE PRINTER says it's out of ink, even if a small amount remains. This means that if I don't have a cartridge on hand, the printer is a sitting duck until I do.Overall thoughts: Excellent printer. Prints quickly, at a very high quality, and is easy to use. I don't think the photo printing is bad (good enough quality on regular paper), but I have a photo printer that I use when I want a nice photo (on photo paper), which is why my other HP printer remains.

the Brother printer drivers for Linux do not properly handle tray selection. The 'autotray' setting in the menu on the printer is apparently useless, and the driver pulls from Tray 1 no matter what I do. As the drivers are key to a properly working printer, I docked two stars for that.Other than that, it's a great printer for general engineering drawing use. Unlike the Epson which I used previously for 11x17 printing, the Brother has not clogged once in the year I've had it. Don't buy it as a photo printer--you'll be disappointed. For general technical documents it does a fine job.

I Live outside the USA and had this delivered to a Friend and collected on a recent trip. It is a quite large machine so forget about it going in a suitcase. Set up was a breeze and im so thrilled to finally have a large format printer in my office. Photo copying is a breeze and of course teh ability to Scan legal size paper too. all this has Has saved the money i spent in no time. Only problem is i keep having to re install the device on my computer. It doesnt happen with everyone else on the network so i figure its some thing with my mobility and disconnecting and re connecting with the network. Other than that I an very satisfied with it.

I bought this printer to use for home office use printing 11x17 CAD drawings. I've been using it now for about 6 months and I'm totall impressed with it. Prints quick, scanner works great. I haven't had any trouble with the scanning software like a few others have had. My favorite part is the separate ink tanks that will allow me to replace only what needs it. Another really important feature for me is the separate paper trays. There are several other 11x17 printers on the market but they have only 1 paper tray. This one allows you to load 8.5x11 and 11x17 at the same time and choose when printing. Very important option. WIFI setup was a breeze.If you need a printer that will do 11x17, this is a great option. Very happy with this printer.UPDATE: I'm a year and a half into owning this printer and use it on a daily basis doing engineering work from my home office. Still works great, still scans great. I'm definitely glad I made the jump away from HP printers. The ink is more reasonable and the quality of the printer is excellent.

I've had the DCP-8085DN for a couple of days. I'm very pleased with the performance. My only disappointment is with the multipurpose tray which I had anticipated using for envelopes. The multipurpose tray is described has having a capacity of 50 sheets--in use you learn that this is the capacity for plain paper--it only will accept about 3 envelopes. Using the multipurpose tray is also a bit of a hassle--rear & front doors must be lowered while in use. I considered buying the optional 2nd tray for use with envelopes; then discovered in the manual these words, "envelopes can only be fed from the multipurpose tray." By the way, the one #10 envelope that I tried printing, crinkled severely. Otherwise I am more than pleased.

This machine was a huge disappointment. The scanner performed nicely and I had no issues with the software. The printer, however, was slow and a major ink hog. I spent $40+ on new genuine Brother ink cartridges. Within 1 month, half the ink was gone. I only printed just a few pages. One morning it wouldn't print anything at all (when I needed it the most). It just spit out blank pages (although you could hear it trying to print). It took over 10 consequetive cleaning cycles and print page tests just to get it to print correctly again. By that time, nearly half the ink was gone! Every few nights, it would perform cleaning cycles on its own, waking me up at times. I never had any other problems, but I didn't use it much either. I never used the fax feature so I can't comment on that. I decided to sell it cheap before it crapped out (which is inevitable, based on all the many bad reviews I've read about print head failures and black ink refusing to work).Pros:Attractive looking; small footprint.Nice LCD screen with a menu system that allows for easy configuration.Has all the features a wireless all-in-one machine should have.Wireless performance (at least on my network) was great.Scanner works great. I scanned close to 1000 documents without a problem.Quiet printing.Cons:Printing is slow.Ink consumption is outrageous. Will bug you like crazy when ink is low or empty.Requires continuous daily use and/or cleanings to prevent print head from not printing correctly.See other reviews online for many more :(Tip: if the printer insists you're 'out of ink' but you know there's some left, simply cover the little clear plastic window on the front of the ink cartridge with a black marker. The printer visually detects how much ink is left by 'looking' into that window. (It's a flawed design.) Doing this allowed me to print more color photos even though I was supposedly out of ink.

This would be better if it were just a scanner/fax/phone (fax works with Vonage). I would give it 5 stars for that, but as a printer, it's horrible if you want good quality. Photos looks like they are printed from a retail kiosk that uses thermal paper (yes, even on the highest quality photo setting with the test photo paper that came with it). Not up to par for an inkjet. It should really just be advertised a fax/phone/scanner/basic copier (and priced accordingly), not as something that can print quality graphics.

What irritates me is that the unit cleans itself by using ink, of every color.If you want to fax something: REFILL CYAN. Just when you want to print a b&w postage code: REFILL BLUE. Why do you need to REFILL BLUE for a black & white document, with the printer properties set to grayscale or black & white?The color cartridges are half the size of the black cart. So, even if you rarely print color, just when you need to run a copy for school: REFILL YELLOW.I wanted to go back to Epson, since our old color printer didn't have this problem. But ALL MANUFACTURERS DO IT NOW! So check ink cartridge size and prices on whatever you're looking at. Ink prices will have a heavier weight on your wallet than the machine price.

I have been very pleased with this one. It has done everything I needed and done it well. After one year I finally had to replace an ink cartridge (yellow of all colors!) and that couldn't have been easier. Does photo printing that satisfies my needs (and I believe would satisfy most others as well). Love that 11x17 scanning deck. Though there are those with complaints, I've been completely satisfied and can easily recommend it. Love having a large scanner and the ability to print on tabloid size paper.

Very poor product design and quality. Have had it for a few years and has been anything but dependable. Pretty much need to change ink every time your print. Also does not allow scanning or faxing when there is no ink, which is a poor poor design feature. Would never recommend this to anyone.

I bought this Multifunction when my Brother MFC-210 began to give me ink cartridge problems. After a simple installation I was up and running. It takes a job or two for the new ink cartridges to settle in but I have been pleased with the overall performance of my new replacement. It was a wise choice for the price and operation. You'll like it.

I pack this thing to jobsite trailers everywhere I have to set up office for a short while or a desk jockey for the longer stays. its an all in one that does everything it should well. My ink cost lowered from $90 a month to $15 every 3!! months with MFC-5490CN, if you dont take your time to load faxes and scans itll get sideways but other than that I have no problems!Great product for low cost, this one was 130 something after shipping.
