I have had nothing but problems with this machine. Had it in for service once. Black keeps plugging up. When it self cleans, uses all the color ink?? Ink can go from almost full one day and empty the next. I do not use daily and have already spent over $100 on ink in less than a year. Spent hours via internet and on phone with customer service only to be told that my machine is working as it is supposed to. Will never buy another Brother product in my lifetime.

The printer quality is excellent. Print speeds exceeded my expectations. I purchased another one for my second office based on the performance of this printer. I will buy again.

I didn't actually buy the printer from Amazon. I bought this hulking device at Office Depot because it came with a $100 rebate. But the overall list price is definitely worth it. I mostly got it because it has a large area scanner that I need for my pencil work.Listing the features would be useless since there is already a description of what it does above. So i'll go over the pros and cons.Pros-Very large scanner. Largest i've seen at an affordable price and common availability.-LCD screen. Decent resolution and overall the right size.-Interface. It is very easy to navigate through menus and do what you want.-Wi-Fi. Truly a god-sent. We have 4 computers at home hooked up to this puppy.-Large print outs. 11x17. Woo!-Fast scanning at multiple resolutions.Cons-Software. The package comes bundled with a picture and scanning software. It is overall very slow and I had to reinstall it a couple times because of how unstable it was. This was however on a mac. It might work fine on windows. But it's not mandatory to have it, and if your serious about your work you use other software anyway.-Print quality. Not the best in the world i'll admit. Colors aren't as saturated as I would have liked. I don't know if it not being a laser printer has anything to do with it.-Big and bulky. Consider your home or office space before spending your hard earned cash on this one. It's not a space saver, i'll tell you that much.-The text on the LCD screen can a times be very small. Not a problem for me, but can sometimes be a problem for older people. (my parents)-Printing process can take a while over a wi-fi network. Not painfully long, but enough to take notice.Not applicable-Fax function because I have yet to use it.For me there were three major factors in making this purchase. Scanning in large sketches, printing large documents, and wi-fi. If your only going to print on standard 8.5x11 then go for something cheaper. But for an artist like me who needs a larger scanner and appreciates all the extra stuff that comes with it, I could not think of anything better for the price.

This machine, if left plugged in, will auto clean the heads so many times, that the ink runs out, once a month.If you unplug it between uses to save on ink, it looses all the fax settings.I know it's cheap, but the ink costs will kill you.

Should have listened to the 1 stars. Bought it on a Friday and returned it on Saturday. As soon as I test printed it I realized the people that said it didn't print black were correct. Called tech support and was on the line for less than a minute when she said that it happens on this model. She said they would warranty it, however I chose to return it to Office Depot and exchanged it for an HP 6500. Only had it about a week but so far so good. Brother tech support could have cared less about the problem. Maybe they should fix it - Duh!

i use primarily black ink. even so, it will tell me to replace the colored ink even when it's not full. This printer does will at making you shell out more money for ink cartridges. however, if you don't usually print color, might as well get a toner for a laserjet.besdies that, it prints great photos when using the right paper. scan quality is good, but just very slow.

This was my second experience with a WiFi printer, and this one worked seamlessly. The printer easily joined my existing network and prints wirelessly without any glitches. Wireless printing for graphic files is understandably slower than USB printing, but the ability to locate the unit away from the computer is worthwhile.The Brother prints documents fast and with excellent quality. The fax works well, using the document feeder or faxing directly from the computer (in my case, a Mac). One disappointment for me was that there is no interface that allows you to check fax status or fax logs on the computer; you must print out a paper report on the unit for the latter.The one area where I found this model particularly lacking was in the reproduction of color photos. Most photos were tinted too red, and the quality was not up to par with other photo printers. But since I use other printers for photos, I didn't see this as a significant shortcoming. This is my day-to-day document printer, and it's a good one.

I am very happy with this multi-function machine. It was easy to set up, it's quiet, and I am quite satisfied with copy/print quality. It performs as advertised and I like everything about this device, would recommend it to others.

Since I've owned a MFC-4450 for 10 years,experiencing minor maintenance issues,I decided to stay with a company that obviously produces a durable,long term piece of office machinery. The reason for an upgrade was beyond my control. My new computer,with Windows Vista, is not supporting the old MFC-4450.I'm still using the old printer with my other Win 2000 operating systems.I use the internal WiFi feature exclusively from all computers(no additional external router required,two walls between points).Data transmission speed is more than acceptable.I haven't tried the photo print feature.Really didn't buy it for that purpose.

This machine seems perfect except that this model tends to have ink issues. The more I read about it the more issues I see people having with the ink cartridge being fickle in the setup , and/or the nozzle heads being defectve or clogged. To their credit they are sending me a new machine with pre-paid return of the old (new) machine.I am disappointed so far but will return t review again ince I have it set up.The instruction were easy but I hit this snag and cannot get the machine to print in black (the other cartridges are fine). I dont think I can send out my resumes in pink and yellow so now I have to wait...(to be continued)

The only problem I've detected is the printer's inability to feed glossy paper properly. If you put in more than 3 sheets of glossy paper, it simply does not feed.

We went from a big bulky HP all in one printer to this wonderful printer. I waited two months before I wrote a review. I have printed, faxed, scanned, and used the photo capture feateutres. All work perfectly and so easy. I have also changed the color ink (with generic) once two weeks ago because I had to print a few 8x10 pictures. I love all the features. The wireless setup was a breeze. This is a great home printer. And for the price ($89) you couldn't beat it!

Bought this printer and a few months later the color cartridges ran out. I had only printed a few color pages. The printer won't work, won't print black and white if any color cartridge is out. Called to complain and was told that every time the printer cleans itself, it takes out ink from every cartridge. Furthermore, the printer uses color ink to print black and white. I was told to avoid losing color ink by printing grayscale. For several months I went through the hassle of specifying grayscale on every printing. During that time, I only printed one color page. Next thing I knew, the color cartridges were out again. This printer guzzles color ink whether you print color or not. We're getting another printer and using this one only for scanning.

Setup, wireless printing & scanning with my mac is easy and smooth. Ink use is great and the cartridges are not that expensive. Sleeps when not in use. I never have that need to turn it off. Printing speed is not so impressive. I've seen photo printers make faster prints than this one. Photo printing is embarrassing. Text and graphics are OK. One thing about this is that it JAMS. It jams close to 60% of the time. Take note that I print on different mediums, from inkjet paper stickers and shipping labels.

I think this is a great product for the price, when up against the competitors. The wireless setup isn't as easy as I anticipated, and I need help getting it online, but once it was up and running everything was perfect. It's not a fast printer, but it's pretty quiet. As for ink consumption, too soon to tell, and you need to adjust your printer settings every time so it won't use your color ink to match black print. Every other function is just perfect... works well, great value for the money.

First printer had mechanical problem. Second & Third printers "printed at 90 degrees to paper axis". (The paper was installed incorrectly).This is an excellent machine with tremendous capabilities, but you must read all 207 pages manual before you touch it.[Telephone and on-line help is available, but is of low quality.]A quick start-up guide would have avoided many difficulties.

I've returned this printer and replaced with a HP Photosmart all-in-one, and cannot recommend this machine unless the 11x17 printing is the key selling feature:- Photo quality is poor -- whether from a scan or a file, the picture printed did not look like the original. Color was wrong, tones flattened, etc. Far worse than the printer we are replacing- Photo software is poor -- weird and poorly supported 3rd party software. Limited features and I was never able to figure out how to do basic things on it- Even basic text on paper printing seems muddy and very "wet"- Brother support is weak -- other than telling me that I should go buy their paper to see if it improves quality, or return and try a second machine, they were able to offer no troubleshooting support, and didn't seem to care that I was frustratedThe price seemed too good to be true for the features offered, and now I know why! After lugging this huge and flawed machine around and wasting hours trying to get it to perform, I'm unlikely to buy anything that Brother makes in the future.

A nice product. Amazing that I can purchase this for < $60!Great quality too. Just looking at it....felling it.... and watching it work, I am a - maze - ed!!!It copies, scans, prints, and..... faxes? Hey I haven't faxed anything in about 5 years. Nowadays I scan and email, so for me, this option is not needed.Anyway, it does a nice job for your day to day black and white printing. It is quick and it is quiet.If you are looking for PHOTO QUALITY, then this is not for you. I did not try this on photo paper, but I just see that the colors are not vibrant as on my screen even whey I print on good paper......When you purchase a printer, you have to think about the ongoing ink cost! I bought some off branded ink at the time of the purchase, but have not used them yet. Cost was about $25 for the set of 4. OEM will cost more.I definitely like the idea that you only fill up the color that runs out! The OEM cartridges are opaque, so you cannot see how much is left in the cartridge. Some of the replacements out there are transparent, which I feel is the way to go.And, convenient! The ink tanks are in the front right side of the printer! No opening up the top and struggling...... it's an easy 'pop in" cartridge!Overall, it is a good printer. If you need to print color from time to time, but do not need the photo quality, this is a great choice.

I bought this item from another site at a much cheaper price ($80), but it was an great investment. What attracted me to it was the wireless feature, plus the other great features. I needed a new fax machine and this is a doozy. I have it in a central location in my home so it can be utilized by all the other computers in the house. Printing is a breeze for my entire family and all you have to do is use the setup disk and your computer is ready.

While the print quality of this machine is very good, it is a constant problem to use. The paper constantly jams if you try to use anything except plain paper. The feeder cannot handle photo paper, card stock or or any other special paper. Unless you plan on limiting your printing to very basic documents, I recommend not going with this printer.

After reading up on all the all-in-one printers available for $100-$300, I purchased this printer for $89.99 in April of 2008 to use on a network, primarily with Macs. I have it networked through a Cradlepoint MBR-1000 EVDO router.I'm about a month into use with the printer and am pretty pleased. For $90 (including ink), it was a real bargain for what it's capable of. That, and generic replacement ink is dirt cheap.PRINTINGI haven't printed any photos yet, but my day-to-day printing has been of reasonably good quality. At first, the blacks weren't as black as I'd like, but I think it's gotten better with continued use. Paper tray could be bigger and easier to access, but I don't hate it.COPYINGAuto-Feeder isn't bad. Only holds ten pages. But it's a low-priced printer with an auto-feeder, so I'm not going to complain. Flatbed is big enough for letter, but not legal. Ok.SCANNINGI am using OS X Tiger (10.4) and have no problems scanning when connected by USB or through the network. It works well, and I'm pleased with the results. Custom scan settings are fairly simple to set up through the "Brother ControlCenter" on my desktop, too.I read complaints about scanning being a problem on OS X Leopard. I can't speak to this, but know that Brother has posted drivers/updates for Leopard on their site to address this. Leopard users, are you up and running as of yet?NETWORKINGNetworking this thing wasn't as easy as it should have been. That's the main reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five. It took me an entirely uninterrupted half day to network this thing the way I wanted - it wasn't self-explanatory. Be prepared to understand your router, network, IP addresses, DHCP servers, whatever other networking stuff that isn't entirely self-evident. I eventually figured it out without contacting customer service, and I'm no IT guy. So yes, this thing CAN be networked, and yes, it CAN be networked with a Mac. Once you get the networking up and running, it's a pretty nice thing.FAXHaven't used this yet.CUSTOMER SERVICEHaven't called 'em yet (by choice).IN CONCLUSIONI like this printer, and it does what I need for a low price. At this point (one month in), I would recommend this printer. Beware the difficulty factor in networking, but know that it can be done.

This machine is fantastic, however be very careful in assuming it actually has full duplex capability....it does NOT handle duplex scanning.
