I purchased this printer at Staples during back to school season on a price match. At the time the printer was $200 but an online retailer (cant remember whom) was selling as low as $129. Cant find that price anymore. After a month of use I can say that its the best printer Ive owned. Id buy again at the $200 price - I think its worth it. I did get suckered into a 2 year, no questions asked warranty from Staples for $30. In retrospect it was probably worth it. At any time, I can return it for any reason at any staples store.THe printer came highly recommended by my neighborhood inkjet refill shop cause it is the absolute lowest cost of ownership of all the printers out there if you use refillable ink.I especially love the built in print server so you can network directly. I love the 11x17 print and scanning software.Ive only had one issue with the printer in a month. One day, I could not print from any of the 3 PCs on my home network. I would send print jobs only to find them fail shortly after. After considerable research, It turned out that I had to reboot the printer. This can be done by accessing the menu>>netowrk>>reboot screen. THe symptom was that I could ping the printer, but it did not show up on the DHCP client list on the router. After reboot, live was good.>> UPDATE 11/06/09: I ended up using the warranty and returning the printer due to weekly rebooting required. Very annoying! Replacement printer arrived at house and this one has a non-functioning black cartridge! I read online of other users having the same problem. I should be receiving my 3rd and final printer today. I really want to like this printer but 0 for 2 is a bad sign. Im really glad I got a 2 year warranty!>> Forth and final printer was returned this week. It kept losing network connection and going offline. I could still ping it and see it thru the router...

I got this for about $70 new. I've had it for almost 2 years now. All functions work perfectly, efficiently and inexpensively.First, you can buy compatible ink for around $3-4 per cartridge!! These do not leak or damage the Brother machine. They last along time too. Print quality is awesome and it's very fast coming close to advertised speeds. I've used the scanner so many times and it's great, but a little slow depending on DPI chosen. The copier works fine and fast. The fax has also been incredible. The machine self cleans periodically and DOES NOT use much ink at all. I pray that this machine will last me for years. I should have bought 2 or 3 and stored them. I'll never get all this value again in a Japanese high quality product. Lastly, the machine looks like a $300 beautifully crafted office product. Great thing also you can choose different print qualities. Photo printing is better than expected, but takes a long time if printing on highest setting. Has so many functions that I've never used yet. I'll always stay with Brother. Before you buy a printer, make sure you find out how much compatible ink is!! If it's like 15-30/cartridge it is not worth it.

I've been running on this printer for about 6 months and I'm really beginning to like it. It was frustrating to set up just as any software/wireless situation for me. I'm about a "6" when it comes to computer savvy. I just downloaded the software on another computer and it set up like a charm the second time. Print quality is pretty good, though my old HP's (5 of them)seemed to be a little better but I do not use the high quality mode much. The ink use seems to be much better than my old HP's. It's a drag to have to pull out the funky tray every time you want to add paper, but it's a 10 second deal. I've never had a wireless all-in-one printer before so I may be biased as I love the ease of printing from my laptop anywhere and I love the copy mode. Haven't used the fax, don't have much use for it. Ink is reasonably priced if you buy it right. If it lasts more than 1.5 years, like my HP's, it will be my favorite printer, hands down....Just one year to go....

Original Review: I just got this copier and set it up today. Took two hours and a call to tech support to get it going, but now that it's up and running, I am really impressed. Lots of features for the money, and they all seem to work well. Love the document feeder. Problems reported by other users don't seem to apply to mine. No problem figuring out the paper tray. The black ink prints fine. Someone commented that there was no way to label the quick dials on the fax area, but mine came with an adhesive label for that area.The main problem I encountered was that Brother has not included drivers for Microsoft 7 on the disk. But they are available for download on the Brother website. And once tech support talked me through that the rest was easy. I'm waiting to see how it does on ink consumption, as I've been told that the print heads clean themselves (i.e. use ink) before each use and there's no option for "use black ink cartridge only" when printing grayscale.AFTER TWO YEARS: I'm giving up and going back to HP. I still like the fact that I can print 11" x 17" documents, but it's just not worth keeping the printer for that one function. This machine eats ink like a parched man drinks water, and nobody can re-fill the Brother ink cartridges. It does automatically clean the print heads after each job... even if it's only printed one page. And the print quality is just plain lousy, especially for photos. Sadly, no more Brother printers for me!

I bought this printer 6 months ago in order to print wirelessly. It worked great for a couple of months.With NO configuration changes whatsoever, the printer stopped functioning. Headache after headache with connectivity issues and ink issues. Just printing a simple test print is an adventure or should I say misadventure.I am done with all brother printers after this. I do like their label machines but this printer sucked up lots of valuable time for the last few months. I am not even selling it or donating it as it will only cause me or the other person grief.I'm going to find a pc recycle center and throw this piece of garbage out.

This is a large printer with lots of features that work well. I set this up on the wireless function to operate with my Mac. It only took one setup and I've experienced no problems with the range, which I did experience on my HP initially. Sending documents to print is a fast and easy task. It has an easy to use and good looking large touchscreen to take you through each menu. This is great and time saving when compared with other printers. Having the ability to print ledger photos without going to a printer store is fantastic and I used it to make several posters for our portfolio.Now to the caveat, big or small depending on your needs. The print quality is not nearly as good as the HP. It's comparable to other brands, very similar to what Lexmark puts out, but could not compare in color quality to my HP. Yesterday, I needed to print out a color chart for our business products and I did a couple on the normal settings on my HP. Then my ink got low so I switched over to the Brother to make a couple on there. I decided to put it on the best quality settings because I wanted the colors to be very vibrant. It takes a good bit of time to print on the high quality setting so I was expecting a lot and was very disappointed when it was finished. The colors looked washed out or a bit faded when held side by side to what I had just printed on the HP and took 3 times as long to print. I took it without saying which was which and showed it to my husband who pointed to the HP document and said that it was so much better and that there was no comparison. As far as my color chart, the HP was very usable and the Brother not at all. To be fair, the Brother has settings for its color printer that you can manually enter. I'm just not adept enough to do that, to know which settings to set the colors on. But as far as default printing, you won't get top quality photo printing, you will get adequate printing. So, the bottom line is if you need high quality color printing, then this might not be the right printer for you. But if you are an occasional photo printer or primarily use it for office or business documents where vibrant color quality is not required, then this is a great, easy to use multi-function printer and you should give it a try.

Prints slow and loud.All functions stop when 1 ink cartidge is out.Ink is not cheap and difficult to find in person.Automatic fax or copy feed jams or sends multiples pages through.I'd look somewhere else for a better printer if I were you.

I've had this printer for about 5 months now. The biggest down side to this model is the ink cartridges. If one cartridge is empty like blue or yellow, it will NOT continue to print just black or any other colors like my other printers do. It just shuts down all printing functions until you replace that cartridge, you are just dead in the water if you run out of any color ink. Most printers will continue to print using the remaining colors, not the case here. Tech support confirmed this also. The print quality on this printer is average to above average on photos. The scan quality is grainy and streaky and not recommended for photos at ALL, and does not produce true colors of the item being scanned. Its good for documents though. The fax and fax from screen works great. The network connection is a plus if you are sharing it on a home network as I am. But I would not purchase another printer that requires that all inks be full in order to print anything. I do not recommend this printer unless you plan on always having extra ink in stock.

The Brother MFC-295CN printer is a good low-priced printer. I have it connected to a wireless router and print from a Win 7 desktop and a WinXP wireless netbook. The main selling point for me is the low price for Brother LC61 ink cartridges on the secondary market. I bought replacement ink cartridges for $1/cartridge from Amazon. I couldn't find anything else close to that price for replacement cartridges for other printer makes.

The first thing you notice about the Brother All in One printer is that it is HUGE. I mean, it's huge, and I say that as someone who has owned several all in ones, and has watched the footprint diminish with every new addition.But on the upside, this printer is exactly what a small office (or a busy home office) might just need to take care of most of their printing and copying tasks. The Brother comes with a slew of nice features, including some pretty amazing dual trays that hold paper up to 11 by 17 (definitely not the kind of thing one sees in a regular AIO.)The printer the Brother replaced was a HP AIO that worked nicely for my needs - that is, basically wireless printing of text, and the occasional photocopying chore. The Brother set up quickly with my Macbook Pro; absolutely no problems, and unlike other folks, the wireless printing set up was done in mere moments.For basic printing, the Brother beat out my HP in terms of speed. It was FAST, and I do mean fast (the HP always sort of chokes for a minute or two while printing. It eventually gets it done, but absolutely nothing like the Brother in terms of quickness.)I tried to print a few web pages, then I tried several jpgs to see how it handled photo printing. I should note that I use expensive paper, mostly because the HP has a tendency to misfire on cheapie paper stock. The web pages with the Brother came out fine, but remember, this is from a laywoman's POV. The jpgs printed a little slowly, and the color register was simply amazing. Gorgeous pictures! The improvement, also, is I didn't have to wait 10 minutes for the pages to print out. The Brother handled the printing task relatively quickly; with the HP, you could celebrate a birthday waiting for a jpg to print.If you have substantial office printing needs, this Brother will be right up your alley. You'd also need substantial office space, because (did I mention?) this printer is HUGE.It also is a bit on the pricey side, another factor to consider. I don't know that this kind of printer power is necessary for the average or (like me) below average print user. There are better buys to be had out there, but if you have the need of a mega AIO, you could do much worse than to invest the extra bucks with this Brother model.

After using this printer's predecessor (MFC-6490CW) for over a year, I can offer the following:My requirements are very specific. I need ledger-size (11x17) scanning and printing...period. Just try to find an AIO at this price that will do that (unless you want to pay $600+?) Most of my documents are B&W, some with a small amount of color highlighting, and this printer works flawlessly for that purpose.For color photos, make sure you use photo paper or the color is so washed out even at the custom maxed-out settings that I don't bother printing photos on plain paper.The automatic document feeder, ADF, is somewhat flakey and skews the paper a bit too much for my finiky demands so I just limit myself to using the glass-top surface for most scanning.I love the scan-to-file feature that doesn't require input from the PC and allows several file formats as the default, including PDF. If you are not picky about the document skewing of the ADF, this printer will scan a stack of originals and place the entire set into a single multi-page PDF file if you desire.This printer uses replaceable ink "tanks" instead of ink/head cartridges and this makes it much easier to manage and refill if you choose. The printer asks if you have installed a new tank and then takes your word for it, unlike the HP I used previously that insisted on reporting an out-of-ink condition even after refilling. Since this printer's tanks have no electronics inside, there is no serial number to read and no way for the software to know if you have inserted an old cartridge.I noticed over the last year that the user manual is somewhat incomplete and confusing/contradictory. Some features that were described in the manual did not function and some functions referenced on their web site were not properly described in the manual.

This is a terrific product. It's easy to set up, prints exceptionally well. I have another similar printer and the cost per page is very low. The cost of an ink cartridge is a bit high but it prints many more pages per cartridge than any other printer I've owned. Printing is much less expensive than a Kodak Easy Share printer which I replaced with this one.

I read and hunted down a MFC machine that would give me beautiful, quality color photos, clean,crisp text, easy to operate, great scanner and fax. This machine is near perfect. She's a tad slow,but it's worth the wait. Buy yourself a CISS system for about 25.00 on ebay and you can print 8x10 color glossies all day long.With my current setup up it is runnning me the equivilent of 1.50-1.75 per refill of any given color. Dirt cheap.Oh yes, a great color photocopier as well and duplexer. There are lots of specials on the net: a low at one point of 229 at N**EGG. Staples runs specials on this on and off, I paid 250.*** August31 2012 My Brother MFC-6890CDW is now been in use daily since I wrote this review nearly 2 1/2 years ago! Break downs? NONE. Design issues: NONE. I use a 3rd party super large, refillable ink tank system and have reduced my cost to pennies per print. Sorry I have nothing to complain about. I did notice the price has climbed significantly since my purchase and I'm not sure why? This unit is now discontinued, and I would happily buy a NOS should the need arise.

The printer worked great. Loved the wireless capability, color output was great quality. Automatic document feedback works wonders when scanning multiple pages. This was a great printer. Unfortunately, after a year of light use, it died. The black ink no longer prints, even though I tried two different brand new cartridges. I did a search on the Internet, and it turns out this is a common problem. The print heads are off poor quality. After sometime of use, the print heads, especially the one for the black cartridge, quickly dies. Now, I can only print color pages with no black, which makes the printer essentially useless. I'll use it as a scanner for now, but only until I get a new MFP.

I purchased this printer about a year ago and thought it was a good printer. I didn't care for the photo print quality but it worked good. Then suddenly for some reason it stopped printing from black. I tried cleaning the heads but that didn't even improve it. Changed the cartridges a few times. I figured that considering it'd take me a cab ride to/from a repair shop since I don't own a car along with repair fees it would come to the same amount that I paid for the printer which was $90. I ditched my Brother (which is the second one I've owned) and purchased a Canon printer which I am LOVING so far. It was at the recommendation of a few people. I will never purchase another Brother printer again.

Every netbook / computer in our house has a different operating system and yet every component integrates nicely with this multi-use machine! The installation on my Ubuntu Remix (lpia architecture) took a fair amount of reading and there was a small bug associated with the driver that was easy to fix. I believe normal Linux systems such as standard Ubuntu, RedHat, Debian, etc. would be much easier. The windows install is a breeze. We do everything wirelessly the only two cords used are the power cord and the phone line when sending faxes.Every function we have used so far works perfectly. The only option we haven't used yet is sticking a card full of photos in and printing directly - mainly because I like to crop photos, remove red eye, etc. first.The color printouts are amazing and I love the ease of making copies.The only con I can think of is that the self cleaning / check sometimes kick on by itself which has scared the hell out me as it is close to my bed and has woken me out of a sound sleep. I am sure there is an option to set the time and date it does this, I just haven't looked for it as of yet.I think what I love most about this little machine is the amazing amount of options and versatility this little machine offers for such a low price.If you need an all in one machine with a feeder that connects to just about everything for a small price this is your machine.Enjoy!

The printer has many good features, but it's noisy and very slow. Worse, it broke (the paper feeder stopped working, the diagnostic screen indicated a paper jam) after 3 years of extremely light use (well less than a 1000 pages total!!!). Not recommended.

I recently replaced a Canon Pixma4200 with this in my home office so that I could have fax, copy, print, scan capabilities easily accessible. The initial set up was easy. Brother doesn't provide a disc with Windows 7 drivers, so you have to download that from their site (which was not difficult, but could have been easier - I'm reasonably good with a computer and figured it out, but some folks would have been left very frustrated) I've tested all of its basic features and it seems to work well. Wireless set up was very, very simple. I am going to keep my Pixma for times when I want crisp photos printed. This lacks a little where that is concerned. For a wireless multifunction machine, I am pleased.

Based on the high ratings for this printer on Amazon, I purchased this printer less than a year ago. Unlike some others, I did not have an easy time getting to the wireless to install properly on my current laptop (toshiba) or previous (ibm); had to retry multiple times on the ibm and finally gave up on the current machine. But the reason I rate this so machine so low is the ink.Having printed perhaps 3 documents in color (and 200 pages in B&W) in the 10 months, 2 of the colors, cyan and yellow, now claim to be empty, though my original black cartridge is still half full. What's most infuriating, however, is that the printer refuses to print even B&W documents until I replace those faulty cartridges. We all know that companies make much of their profit on inkjets from the sale of cartridges but this is absurdly dysfunctional.

This printer/copier was simple to set up. Unpackaged, installed software, plugged in and it worked. Unit does duplex scanning and printing as advertised. It had all the features I needed for a relatively good price. Unfortunately, the moment I took it out of the box I knew I'd probably made a bad choice.The build quality is very cheap and flimsy. Cheap plastic, poorly fitted parts. This translated into issues the first time I used it. The duplex scanner, which is something I'll use regularly, pulled multiple pages at once nearly every time I ran a job. The second job, a page got jammed in the feeder. I didn't get through a single job successfully.Print speed is also pretty poor while duplexing. I'm obviously not looking for the same speed that the $10k printers we have at work. Double the time is what I'd expect unfortunately it's more like three times longer to print a page. Non-duplex printing is as advertised. Duplex scanning is painfully slow.In the end, I returned the unit and just received a Canon imageclass D1120. All the same features but the build quality is *substantially* better. And it's $30 cheaper. So far, no jams, faster printing, better quality. I'll keep the Canon for a few more weeks and review it at that time.

I have had mine for almost a year with no problems whatsoever. It makes a decent photo, nice copies and the fax works well. I haven't tried scanning with it yet but a twain scanner is a twain scanner. Ink is cheap and it gets good milage between refills.The only negative thing I can mention is the lag time before the printer starts once you click the print button.For the little bit of money this costs, it is well worth the price.

This all-in-one printer copier scanner is an excellent choice for a small engineering company such as mine. The print quality is perfect for 11" x17" plan pages. I can also scan 11" x 17" sketches of dam rehabilitation drawings, send them to my CAD specialist and then print out the final plans on this printer. The print speed is quite reasonable. This printer really speeds up my whole office production. I can keep both ledger and letter paper loaded in the printer and available for my plans or reports.
