Less than a year after buying the mfc-255cw, it had the following issues:-wireless connection never worked, even after multiple attempts to connect;-used a lot of (expensive) ink for not so many prints/copies;-machine would not operate until you bought and replaced ink cartridges;-last straw was that it would not correctly print anything in black...in spite of multiple cleanings and replacement of the black ink cartridge.I definitely WOULD NOT recommend this steaming hot pile of garbage to anyone!

I purchased this product a few months ago, granted. I did not plan to use it in an office environment but rather as a backup in my home. I was very unhappy when I began to run out of ink only after a few copies made. Why don't these people put in the correct amount of ink and charge the consumer accordingly? I would rather pay up front and not have to purchase another set of cartridges so soon. This is a dumb idea on their part! Oh thank you for the false hopes!

I've had this MFC for a couple of years. It works well enough for color printing and scanning.Unfortunately, it consumes ink standing still -- even powered down. You have to unplug it to prevent it from going through automatic cleaning cycles. Ink prices for this unit have nearly tripled since the initial purchase. Finally, it won't print black when a color cartridge is empty, and it won't scan or fax when any of the cartridges are empty.This is an inferior product.

I really like this printer. It has a small size, it fits under a very tight space. The software is a little cumbersome, but you can do a custom install. The unit itself is pretty cheap, I paid 60 for mine. The scanner is pretty good in general, but you would need to have an ink cartride installed to print, copy, fax, or scan. Defeating the purpose of an all-in-one unit. Those were mostly the pros., now for the cons. The printer is an ink hog, no matter if you turn it off via the power button or unplug it, it will clean right when you plug it in. It feels flimsy, I almost broke the paper tray. The last thing thats mainly a con is the somewhat high price pf ink. I really mostly use OEM ink so thats what im basing the high price of ink on.*UPDATE* After looking on the Brother website, I found a Firmware Update Tool, and now the printer is cleaning less and is a little less annoying and doesent do the 3 beep ritual as much. And to adress another problem. The crappy display angle can be fixed by going to the Menu, pressing general setup, scrolling to number 7 wich is LCD Contrast, and scroll to CONTRAST: Dark. Thats all.

The SCANNER will not work if it does not sense the ink. My parents bought this for their house, replaced the ink and now, with FULL ink cartridges, the printer does not detect any ink and will not allow any of the functions (including SCANNING).STAY AWAY. TERRIBLE PRODUCT.

This printer needs a name because it's become one of the family. I run a day care out of my home and have a child in college,one starting high school, and one special needs. This copier takes the worry out of all our family printing needs...is it gonna work right? yes! Is it gonna have enough ink? Yes! Is my project gonna come out fast? Yes! If it cleaned my house and cooked our meals we would be rich. Can you tell I like my printer. Wifes sometimes listen to your husbands, I'm so glad I did. Worth every penny you spend on this machine!

I have been waiting for several years for someone to come out with an affordable wide format printer for desktop use, and this printer is it! Set up was a breeze, and I even connected to my network that was set up by my IT guy...the instructions were very clear. The only issue I had was the setup of the scan unit to scan from the machine itself to my Mac....I had to call customer service, but got through right away, and was able to get it running in just a few minutes. The prints are fine for MY needs, however, I only use the fast or normal settings as I am mostly just running proofs. The ONLY complaint I have is that the scan piece does not have many options built into the Brother desktop program to change settings. I have noticed some streaking in shadow/gray areas on the scans, but haven't had the time to address that issue to see if I can fix it without having to call Customer Service.I am a freelance graphic designer working on a Mac, and this printer is just what I have been looking for since my old Tektronix died a year ago. Affordable, not the BEST quality out there, but definitely worth the money I spent and more than good enough for my needs.

I purchased the Brother MFC-685CW before there were any reviews for it. It was a toss up between the cheaper Brother MFC-665CW and the more expensive Brother MFC-885CW. I went to the Brother website to do a side by side comparison of the 3 printers and I found that the Brother MFC-685CW and the Brother MFC-885CW were almost identical in every way so I decided to get the MFC-685 because the price was right. Though I was wary because like I said there were no reviews for it. I must tell you, I don't regret getting this printer at all. It was a lot smaller than the gigantic Canon Pixma MP530 printer I was replacing. Getting rid of the old printer and getting this one in its place really freed up a lot of space on my desk. Because of it's size, I'm able to position the printer anyway I want now. Though it's a bit heavy, that's not a problem because I don't have to pick it up too often. The other reviewer said the printer is intended to be left on all the time. No it's not. I turn mine off whenever I turn my computer off or when I don't need it. There's no problem and all my settings are always the same no matter how many times I turn the product on or off. He also said that this model is around 3 years old. Amazon and his info is wrong because this model came out last year. But I do agree with most of his other points though ;o).Now for the important stuff, the features. I think this printer is great. There's a bit of a learning curve to figure out some of the features and somethings you may have to refer to the manual in order to use them until you familiarize yourself with the printer. I made sure I used all of the functions of this printer and everything works well. The Brother MFC-685CW has a lot of positives but this product is not perfect so of course it has some negatives.Positives:- One of the smallest All-in-Ones that I've ever seen- All the controls are in the front. You don't have to get up out of your chair to do anything. Everything is at your fingertips. No reaching around the side, back or inside of the printer to do anything. My favorite fingertip feature, being able to change the ink from the front without have to lift up the lid and reach inside the interior of the printer. To change the ink all you have to do is open the cap in the front, pop the ink in and that's it.- It's wireless. I've got my laptop hooked up to this printer wirelessly and it prints out flawlessly just as if it were connected to the printer directly. The setup was pretty easy. Everything took about 10 minutes or so.- I like that there's a speaker phone so that you don't have to pick up the receiver when sending or receiving a fax.- The corded handset and it's base can be removed from the printer entirely, making the printer's width even smaller. The printer comes withan extra cap that you can place on the spot where the handset and the base were removed so that it looks like they were never there. Very cool.- It takes most types of media cards so if you don't want to hook up your camera via USB cable and you would rather take out your media card and view and print your pictures that way, you can.- The printer has a color screen, which is especially useful when you put in your media card and you want to view or make any adjustments to your photos before you print them.- You can preview your fax before sending or receiving it.- Prints documents almost immediately. No long thinking or waiting time.- You can use LC51 compatible inks. You don't have to use Brother's. The ink monitor recognizes them as the official inks.- Printing with the black ink could be a tad bit sharper but it's still nice. This also all depends on the type of paper you use and the print settings. I've printed photos and they come out quite nice on this printer. The heavier the paper you print on, the better your prints. I would recommend 24lbs(standard inkjet paper weight) or higher. Though printing on 20lbs. is decent.- The speed depending also on the print settings is pretty fast. The speed on "Normal" printing could be a little faster. I have my printerset to "Normal Fast", I have "Slow Drying Paper" checked, and I also adjusted the "Color Enhancement" settings, in order to get nice printsfrom this setting. If you don't do this, the prints at the "Normal Fast" setting aren't that great. Set at "Normal Fast", my prints come out in a flash.- Ink monitor is placed in the taskbar of your computer so that you can always check your ink status.Negatives:- No duplex printing. No worries if you, like me, don't use this feature too often.- A little weird and cumbersome putting in 4x6 photo paper. It's not a matter of opening or taking out the tray and putting in the photo paper. It involves a lot of maneuvering and adjusting when in reality it should not be so complicated.- Printing photos is slow and the photo quality is not all that great. Photos appear dull and dark and not vivid at all. I've tried various settings from using the default factory setting to ma

This is a great little fax/printer/scanner/copier if you have a phone line or satellite system that requires a fax with a slower baud rate! Everyone is silly enough to want faster everything, but if your phone system will not support a high-speed fax then you are asking for trouble. This was the only fax I found that had a slower setting that worked with my phone lines, and to my surprise it has turned out to be a great little workhorse. The ink is cheap, the scanner is adequate, it is quiet, the print quality is great for documents (I did not buy it for printing photos!!!!!), and it is fast enough for use in a smaller office. I have run many thousands of documents through mine already, with no problems at all. Once I found out how reliable it is, I even bought 2 more of these machines (quick, before some moron decided to stop making them and I couldn't get the right baud rate anymore). I only wish the black ink cartridges were bigger, because I use it so much that once in a while an incoming fax with too many pages runs out of ink.

There is always that worry, when looking around for the best deal, of getting what you pay for. Thankfully a lower price point doesn't always equate with an inferior product. This all-in-one printer/fax machine/copier/scanner is a bargain for the price. That it is wireless is icing on a great cake. Easy to set up (though the instructions on just how to tweak the settings if you do not have a line dedicated just to the printer could be a little clearer), easy to match up with your wireless modem, easy cartridge installation and removal. Prints fairly quickly and quietly, output is good quality, either in black/white or color, I've yet to think it an "ink hog." My only complaint is I wished it held more paper, but given this isn't a high-end printer, you DO get what you pay for. But it's a small price to pay given what you do get for what I consider a really good price. I've had mine two years now, with moderate to heavy use, and I've yet had problems. I've had every major brand printer on the market, and I think this is my favorite. When it's time to consider a new printer, I will definitely look at another Brother machine first.

This all-in-one is easy to set up, although it is heavy and takes up quite a bit of space. The color is quite good for a 4-cartridge printer. Has lots of nice features, including 2-sided printing. Works well wirelessly. Overall I'd say I prefer my Canon all-in-one (the MX850) because of the size and my familiarity with the Canon interface, but they are pretty much equally good.Excellent choice for a home office that needs color print capability or the ability to print the occasional scan or photo. For heavy B&W documents a B&W printer would be faster and have greater capacity, and for dedicated photo printing there are better choices. But if you need the flexibility of an all-around and have the space for it, this is an excellent choice.

Tried setting this up with Linux. Took hours of searching docs and webpages and got no help from the company even though they have Linux drivers and the manual describes (with inaccurate information) how to use the printer with Linux.After that, I figured it would be a pleasant relief to plug it into Windows and have it work. But that WAS EVEN WORSE. After months of configuring, downloading reinstalling, it still doesn't work right under windows. But since its a network printer one ought to be able to just point to the IP and it'll work. Nope, you need to configure the network options on the printer and on the computer AND THEN STILL DO ALL THE REGULAR DRIVER STUFF TOO; difficult in Linux, not working at all in windows.UPDATE: Works through Google Cloud Print […] via Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, and even my ancient Cell Phone, go figure. Maybe Brother should talk to Google to find out how to operate Brother printers so they can tell their customers.

First there was a paper jam, then there must have been a tiny piece of paper stuck in it and it would not print. After weeks of fighting it would print one page only then say there was a paper jam, which there was not.I did not use it for months then when I started to use it again, just to print, not for photos, it was out of yellow ink and will not print even in grayscale using only the black ink. So now I cannot use it AGAIN until I purchase yellow ink.What a waste of hard earned money.

This printer is so frustrating. There is a separate cartridge for EACH color. There always seems to be some color that is out, and of course it won't let you do anything until that cartridge is replaced. I have printed so infrequently on this machine, yet have had to change the inks 3 times in a matter of 7 months. The print quality is sufficient for regular documents. But it is really bad at printing photos. Even on the Vivid Color setting, the colors do not look right, and are very dull. I've done everything I can to correct that (cleaning the printer heads, putting all new cartridges in at once). But nothing seems to help. Now the printer just sits in my office and looks good. Because it is an attractive printer, but it just seriously lacks in functionality. I will not buy a Brother printer again.

This was one of the coolest copiers that I have ever messed with. It not only is pretty, but is very user friendly and easy to understand. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I ordered it for the youth group at our church and I hope it comes in handy as I am sure that it will. :-)

I've been using HP printers almost exclusively. Now that I have this Brother printer I think I've found a new source for printers. Installation was much easier than any of the HP's I've owned. It prints and copies/scans fast... As others have mentioned, the by-pass tray does not handle very many sheets but it works without jamming. You do have to adjust the tension setting if you want to run envelopes through it. This entails flipping two levers, but they are on the back side so depending on where you set the printer they may be difficult to reach.I probably would have given the unit 5 stars if it allowed you to fax documents. I didn't read the fine print when I purchased it and was surprised to find that there was no jack for the phone cord. I thought all mid range PCS printers offered faxing. Guess I was wrong.All-in-All, a great printer, copier, scanner, (not faxer).

I have purchased six of these printers so far for use at construction sites. As far as I know, this is the cheapest multi-function printer that uses 11x17 paper. So far two units have failed - one due to using after market ink - we managed to get it working again with a lot of interior scrubbing with alcohol swabs, the other just died after a years use. To brother's credit, they did ofter to repair the unit free of charge if we shipped it to them, even though the warranty was over, but we opted to just purchase another unit to avoid the hassled and expense of shipping the unit and tracking the repair.I will be purchasing more of these printers as needed. They fill a neglected niche - low cost printers that can print on ledger sized paper, and for that I am grateful. ;-)

The generic ink for this printer is so cheap, and it costs me $1.75 per catridge from some ebay seller. But I can get $2/per catridge back from Staples by recyling the empty catridges. So, I makes money from the heavy use of this printer. Can you find better deal? I doubt.It is true that this printer uses ink even if you never use it. But givine the price of ink, I do not complain it.The printing quality with generic ink is okay, though not as good as many photo printer. But it is usable quality. For example, I printed 2*2 ID picture for my daughter's passport application.Other than printing, all other functions works as they should. I think that this is a very good machine for home-business who do not print high quality stuff.

I bought this in replacement of an older Brother printer. I am very pleased that the double sided printing for ledger works great! I use if for photos, document duplex printing and many more projects. I love the color attributes and how quickly I can complete my tasks. I paid less than the presently listed price, so I got a great deal @ 250. The ink is a little expensive, but I will only buy the original brother brand as I don't want to ruin my investment by clogging the ink wells with generic brands. This will render it useless, so I will stick with what works. I am very glad I bought this printer. The feature of "scan to pc" is very useful for archiving quickly also! simply Love it!

Pros:- large scan surface- can print on large size paper,- ability to read photos from memory card- software is faster and smaller than HPCons:- slow printing speeds- grainy photosBought the Brother MFC-6890CDW to replace a HP L7680 multifunction machine, which had developed white streaks in its print output. This machine has lots of nice features and is quite flexible. I also liked that its software package is not nearly as bloated as HP's. However, its print speeds are very slow. And I found that photos were quite grainy when printed out using its default Photo setting. Even after changing the print resolution to Highest, there was still a considerable amount of graininess in the output. That's a showstopper for me, so I'm going to return it.

I had to get a FAX machine for my home-office and this came up as one of the least expensive so I bought it. (I have a Brother laser printer so I already knew I liked their quality.)I was amazed at the features. With very little effort I was able to set it up as a network printer/scanner/FAX machine on my Windows 7 x64 system, and a bit more work I had it setup with the same features on my Linux workstation.Very nice small office addition.Update 2011-09-18After having this printer for about a year, I'm still extremely satisfied with it. Two other purchases have been made based on my recommendations to friends and family, and it hasn't let them down either. My mother-in-law has purchased a second set of ink cartridges, but I haven't. And that's the reason I'm updating this review.Today I tried to use the photocopy feature, and the printed page was blank. I feared that the black ink cartridge had died, but I ran the "Ink Cleaning" step from the menu, and the next photocopy was perfectly crisp and clear. From my experience with my old HP and Lexmark printers, I don't think the results would have been the same.I'm sticking with the Brother line of printers for a long time.Dan

This printer initially seemed like a real bargain, but now it's become a money shredder... I bought one for myself and one for my mom. My mom's stopped connecting to her wireless connection after only a few days. WE took it back, and her second one lasted maybe 2 months. Mine however, took an entire year, but now it is no longer connecting to my wireless connection. The wireless was the main reason I chose this printer, and that function does not work! It also uses a ton of ink, and will not even scan unless all the cartridges are full. I would definitely not recommend this product to anyone or buy another Brother printer again.
