IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING A PRINTER, BUY ANY BRAND BUT BROTHER! I BOUGHT THIS SUCKER OF A PRINTER ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO HOPING THAT I WILL SAVE MONEY BECAUSE OF ITS FEATURES. BOY, WAS I WRONG! THIS PRODUCT PROVED TO BE THE WORST TO EVER HIT THE MARKET. IT IS SLOWER THAN A TIRED TURTLE, IT WILL NOT WORK IF ANY ONE OF THE INK TANKS IS EMPTY [EVEN IF IT'S NOT FULLY EMPTY], AND IT SHOWS SOME WEIRD WARNINGS. IF YOU NEEDED TO PRINT RIGHT AWAY, YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK; THIS MACHINE TENDS TO TAKE ITS TIME AND YOU MUST HAVE THE PATIENCE OF A POPE, ELSE YOU CAN JUST SMASH IT. NO WONDER IT WAS SOLD AT ROCK-BOTTOM PRICE, IT'S A PIECE OF CRAP! BROTHER THINKS THAT BY SELLING THIS GARBAGE AT A VERY LOW PRICE WITH ALL THE FEATURES, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CON THE BUYERS ONCE ITS INK REPLACEMENT TIME. INKS ARE EXPENSIVE AND DEPLETE LIKE CRAZY. ALL OF THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS STATED BEFORE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT ARE TRUE! DON'T TELL ME YOU WERE NOT WARNED!

Great cost-effective personal printer if you need to use it only lightly. If you need a heavy use machine (i.e., personal office, etc.) this printer is not the way to go. Paper has bad habit of jamming when it prints large batches and what is worse is that, many times, one needs to take the whole machine apart to fix the problem!!!

I have no complaints with this product. It amazes me a device with so many features for such a low cost can produce the quality of images of the Brother MFC-440cn. It replaced (and improved the quality and speed) of three devices, and freed lots of room at the workstation. There may be more expensive devices that can produce higher quality images, but I can't imagine the quality can improve much over what this can do. For 8x10 color images it is great. The scanning quality and speed is excellent for my needs. Throw in the fax and copy capability with a color LCD menu screen AND the ability to print directly from memory cards and you've got one fantastic and useful piece of equipment. I'll have to get used to the included software, but it has some nice features as well as some minor quirks. Once you scan an image, it is not intuitive what you are supposed to do next. A small problem overall. Changing cartridges is the most convenient and simple process I've experienced on an inkjet printer. I would buy this device again.

The printing is fine. The ink usage is as other people have stated, it is completely absurd. Brother has outdone themselves with this piece of garbage... I print with color so infrequently, maybe 10 pages total in the time that I've owned this printer (about a year) have been color and I've had to replace the color cartridges on numerous occasions. Also, it should be noted that the printer identifies the cartridge as being out of ink when the cartridge gets to approximately half empty. Another issue is that when any of the cartridges is "empty," NONE of the printer's functions work until you replace that cartridge (including faxing and scanning) forcing you to spend more money on Brother products or never use your printer again. I will never, EVER buy another Brother printer. This is the second one I have owned and the other one was a piece of garbage, too.

I bought this to replace my Dell AIO960 and I like it so much better. It is more compact and prints better. It is quite and has great features. I would recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a reliable multi-function printer.

This all-in-one printer, copier, fax, and scanner is just right for me. The quality of the print is great, the speed is fine, and it is quiet. I just discovered that I can set up my fax speed dials from my computer. No more punching in the numbers on the machine. It's much quicker! I can also plug my camera memory chip right into the front of it and print pictures in seconds. It it also quite stylish in brushed silver and black. It has a digital window that lays flat or tilts up. This is a nice feature because I can tell a distance when it is receiving. This is my second Brother; I just really like the quality. I don't see how you can beat it for $116.

I'm not exactly sure why the "Spotlight" reviews for this printer are so positive. Take everyone else's word for it - This printer sucks. I made the mistake of buying 5440 and the 5840 for my business. I can deal with all the paper jams just fine. But the one thing that makes these printers terrible is how alarmingly often you will have to buy printer cartridges for this machine. Make no mistake - this is a money pit.Don't fall for that nonsense about "saving money because you can buy each color individually." This printer uses the color cartridges even when you're printing in B&W! AND all the cartridges slowly deplete over time even when you haven't printed anything at all (they call it "self-cleaning").And how does Brother add insult to injury? If ANY of the cartridges runs out of ink, it is absolutely impossible to perform any functions until you have purchased a new cartridge and replaced it. Want to send a fax? Too bad, because you're out of Yellow ink! Want to print a single sheet in B&W? Don't even try it until you've bought another Magenta!My 5840 died on me after about 5 months. The paper feeder just stopped working, and despite the fact that it was well within the warranty period, I didn't even bother getting it fixed. I didn't WANT it to be working. It was costing me that much money. Do not buy this printer.

We bought this printer in December of 2005 despite some of the review I've read about it here. It took about 15 minutes to set it up. My wife is into scrapbooking and prints alot of photos and does scanning as well. We have been very pleased with this purchase. Here in Colorado where we live we have had problems with ink cartridges drying out and becoming unusable even before they were empty. With this printer we have not seen this. We do a lot of printing and use quite a bit of ink. The ink for these cartridges are cheap and easy to come by. Even better, each color has it's own cartridge so we can replace only the color that goes dry.We've only had one time where the black ink wasn't showing up for us, after using a couple of cleaning cycles, it was working fine again. Simply put, if you do a lot of color printing, I believe this printer is a great value for the money.Regarding the fax, we've used it a couple of times and it was fairly easy to use. The scanner works great and we've been able to get great digital images from photos fairly easy. It comes with Paperport software which we've used in the past with other scanners so we can be a bit biased with that. We don't use any of the default settings but make sure to use custom which we've tailored to get the best scans.As far as the cons go, the printer folds the paper you use back over itself to print. This leads to jams, especially with cardstock or things of that thickness. They are easily corrected but can get annoying. I think if this model fed paper directly from the back of it, we could give it the highest rating.

This machine is a piece of junk. I bought it because it was cheap, I liked the idea of having a fax built in, and I figured Brother was a big enough company that they would not jeopardize their reputation with a really poor machine... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! (it does seem humorous that I would have thought that, in retrospect)Let me tell you why I so dislike this machine. Text printing is so-so. Photocopying is so-so. Scanning is _poor_. No amount of color-correcting will make a photograph scanned on this machine look the way it ought to. Color printing is ok, but the colors tend to look faded/desaturated, and if you turn up the contrast or saturation settings, you get nasty ink blotches on the page.The real reason for the one-star rating, however, is this - the machine switches itself on, at all hours of the day and night, to "clean" itself, regardless of whether you've printed anything or not. This obsessive cleanliness comes at a cost, of course - ink is used with each cleaning. I got tired of being woken up, and began keeping it unplugged, but as soon as it's switched back on, like a neurotic feline, it is at it again.The end result of all this is that after printing around 15 pages in black and white, and only three in color, the blue ink has run out, and it will not print anything at all (nor copy). Brother may think they have found a way to get me to purchase their ink products, but they are sorely mistaken. I'm now in the process of trying to come up with a creative way to destroy the machine (maybe you'll see me on America's Funniest Home Videos, or at least YouTube).

I love everything about this Brother multi-function. EXCEPT ... the cheap, flimsy, sorry paper tray. I just do not like that paper tray. You have to take it all the way out to reload the paper, it prints off center, and it is rickety and just does not live up to the rest of the printer. Everything else about this item is great including the price. Another feature I have come to despise is the door in the back that is removable, so whenever there is a paper jam it is very easy to remove the paper. Sounds great right ... except if your paper is a heavier stock or you have printed several pages in a row, the back door just pops out and as a result creating ... a paper jam. Arg.

ADDENDUM TO MY REVIEW BELOW ON 09/03/04:Based on my recent experience, I can no longer recommend this printer.After using the HL-5140 for a couple of months, my initial favorable opinion of the printer has changed drastically. After putting about 4500-5000 pages through it I began to experience frequent paper jams using standard 8.5 x 11 multipurpose paper.Clearing the jams proved to be rather difficult and time consuming, invariably requiring the removal of the drum/toner unit (which can be a bit of a wrestling match).After printing about 7500 pages the printer totally locked up on me, indicating it was out of paper even though the tray was more than half full.Perhaps the unit I purchased was a "lemon." In their defense, and their customer service is very good, Brother did offer to replace it. However, I declined their offer. After using it for awhile I was not impressed with the 5140's design or function, and I had serious doubts that any new printer they sent me would perform any better.Being a medical transcriptionist who is paid on a production basis, I absolutely depend on a completely reliable laser printer that is fast and economical. After the Brother HL-5140 failed me, I purchased an HP LaserJet 1300 that I'm ecstatically happy with.After 5000 pages, the HP 1300 hasn't jammed even once, the output looks great, and it's the fastest and quietest laser printer I've ever used.MY NEW RATING:The Brother HL-5140 gets two thumbs down after a very exhaustive practical test.The HP LaserJet 1300 gets two thumbs up as a slightly more expensive, but much better-designed and more reliable printer.FOLLOWING IS MY ORIGINAL REVIEW OF THE HL-5140:>> There are a ton of people out there running home businesses like me (I'm a full-time medical transcriptionist)who need the speed and economy of a B&W laser printer, but don't want or need a $500-1,000-plus "office-type" unit.Enter the Brother HL-5140, the perfect, affordable, reliable B&W laser printer for a small business that does a lot of printing (where the cost of ink jet cartridges and slow printing can be VERY expensive).Several years ago, typical of my venerable HP LaserJet 6P that is still working very well, HP produced great inexpensive laser printers while Brother followed their lead and made great products too.Unfortunately, HP decided to focus on a very profitable "niche market" a couple of years ago and started making a bunch of cheap plastic printers that would have more consumer appeal when it comes to printing photos instead of continuing to make top-quality low to moderate-cost B&W laser printers.But Brother has continued to make reliable printers that are actually made of metal -- what a concept. My Brother 5140 weighs in at about 24 pounds, it's made of metal and there's nothing flimsy about it.So here are the pros and cons of the Brother HL-5140:PROS:1. Everything that Brother purports to deliver in terms of printing speed for the 5140 would appear to be accurate. This is one VERY FAST laser printer (rated at 21 ppm).2. The best thing about the 5140 is how easy it is to install and set up. It's all completely intuitive and the enclosed installation CD makes the process quick (15 minutes or less) and simple.3. Most people won't care about this very obvious plus, but it's VERY important to some of us old dinosaurs who still use DOS programs. So I need to employ a printer that will accept a parallel connection instead of just USB.I'm not really a dinosaur, and I use MS Word for everything else, but I still use WordPerfect 5.1 DOS for my work. So I need a printer that will connect on a parallel port and print out my work.The 5140 with PCL-6 emulation supports all of the latest DOS printer drivers too. No problems printing from DOS in any application.CONS:As I've said, the 5140 gets my top rating and it's a definite buy. But there are a couple of things you might want to be aware of:1. I haven't tried the feature, but other reviewers have given the printer a thumbs-down in terms of its rendition of graphics. Personally, I could care less. If I need graphics I'll use my inkjet printer instead.2. The usual printout path up to the front output tray can tend to curl the printouts a bit more than you'd like depending on temperature and humidity.All in all, it's a terrific printer.<<

I can't understand how some people have rated this printer so poorly. Maybe I'm just a lucky one and got a good one. This is one of the cheapest printers I have ever bought (under $40 during a Staples sale) and ink is the cheapest ive ever seen for under 2 dollars a pop. I've had no problem with the printer and its ink reporting, and I am still using the original ink that came in the printer when I bought it almost 6 months ago! And I print a lot in any given week. The machine is well built compared to the Lexmark that this replaced. I've only heard it clean itself once in the last 6 months, and even if it is doing it more often, it doesnt seem to be eating that much ink.Now there are a few slight flaws, but nothing major. The scanner is not professional by any level, but all I use it for is scanning rebates and such, and making black and white copies. It is also a pain to put in envelopes, but isn't that big of deal.If you can get this printer on sale, definitely buy it!

I ordered this unit for my father based on my good experiences with a different (lower) Brother model. This one is even better with the network capabilities. Print quality is excellent and the ink is cheaper than other brands. He is very happy with it and says it beats his previous HP 3200 hands down.

I've had a Brother MFC-210C since early 2006. It looks great, saves space, and functions well in copy, scan, and print modes. I haven't used the fax or the photo capture functions. Some time ago I changed the Black cartridge with an off-brand and there was no problem printing from it.Recently I've run into paper-wasting in the print mode. It started printing color portions of pages OK but failing to print any black text! Looking at print previews I noticed that what should be black text was greyed out. Ink levels were indicated as high but then I began getting totally blank pages!I read a review of another Brother printer that said there is an (unreliable) optical ink-level sensor that can be disabled by masking the LC41 ink cartridges with tape. Rather than dealing with little bits of sticky tape, I used a black permanent marker pen to 'paint' the clear portion of each cartridge. That seems to have solved the problem. The printer now behaves as though all the cartridges are new and full; when I put the masked cartridges back in I punched 'yes' each time I was asked if they were new.So, for now, everything is printing normally again. But I'm not sure what will happen when a cartridge completely runs out of ink. I expect the printer will keep printing because all the cartridges will still 'look' full. I suspect the color printing will look odd if one of them is empty and, of course, there will be no printing where black would be if the Black cartridge runs out. I tend to print only one or two pages at a time so I'll notice pretty quickly when it happens. But its a hassle I could do without.I would not have bought this printer if I had been aware of all the negative reviews about its ink sensing and consumption problems.

I bought this because I needed a networked all-in-one with a small footprint that didn't take a lot of power. Assembly and setup was a bit involved, but the instructions were good and even the networking Just Worked. I connected it to a LAN with three Wintel boxes on it. Print speed was acceptable for a low-volume SOHO environment, and I had no trouble with scanning and fax. I missed the ability to scan to a USB drive, although you could scan to other memory devices. The only function I had trouble with was copying; pages would frequently have areas that were unacceptably light. I finally returned it for this reason.

I'm really pleased with this scanner/printer. I wanted a cheap reliable printer, and I got a scanner to boot.Its easy to use, doesn't use much ink. Excellent value for money. Fairly quick. The USB cable is a little badly placed(under the scanner panel) and the cable isn't very long. But that a minor problem.I defiantly recommend this , even if you just need a printer. Its still good value.Just to update this review 10/1/2008. I'm still really happy with this machine. Still going strong. Best printer I've ever purchased.

This is a poorly designed and constructed device. It constantly locks up, paper jams, and otherwise just fails.Brother used to be a reputable company that made reliable products but after my experience with this item I would stay away from any of their products*** update after a yearI hardly ever print anything so I did not want to go out and buy another printer. I now hate this printer more than any other product I have ever purchased in my entire life.It drinks up ink cartriges even if you don't print anything, by going through periodical "cleaning" cycles. I fixed this by turning off the electrical outlet feeding the printer from my computer power conditioner unless I am using it.Now I just want to scan something, but it won't let me because it is out of Cyan. WTF do you need Cyan ink for if you are just scanning?!?!I just ordered an ink refill kit online, hopefully this will be a reasonably inexpensive way to feed the appetite for ink that this piece of junk has.

Well, I had to wait a few weeks to get this inkjet refill, but as long as you go by the "always have a spare on hand" method, you should be in good shape buying this item at Amazon. Staples (my local B&M choice) did not sell the High Yield Inkjet Cartridge. Anyone who uses inkjets probably knows you get a MUCH better deal with the high yield cartridges. Also, you only have to go through the hassle of replacing ink 1/2 as many times.

This is my first Brother printer. I bought it because my father, who has a Brother MFC-210C, advise me of the extraordinary quality of that brand. I can't said anything but that I am enchanted of the features of this device. Its scanner works so smooth and with a very low sound, not noise. It prints photographies with very natural colors, so as you see on your PC's monitor, and they look very beautiful even in regulatr paper. I had't try with photo paper. Other features (copier, fax, cards readers, and so on, are also very good. Thanks father, and thanks Brother.

I picked up the printer on black friday for $60 and I have to say it has tons of features for the price. Print quality is real good; I havent tried the scanner yet. When you photocopy you lose a tiny bit of the original quality - if you photocopy in best mode instead of normal mode then this probably wont happen at all.My only gripe is that this thing is really slow. They advertise 24ppm, and this is an outright lie. On the lowest quality mode (called "fast") with all features turned off, printing just black text I got less than 13ppm and the quality is horrendous. On "fast normal" mode it goes about 9ppm and the quality is fine for non-important prints. On "normal" mode, I get about 7ppm but at least the prints are quite nice and bold. Keep in mind that the above is strictly plain text. On color mode, or even black and white with graphics, good luck - you have a nice wait ahead of you.Overall I do like it and would recommend getting one.

I just bought this printer because my old hp office jet 6110 was flaking out on me and being a college student i can't have any down time. i wan not originally looking for another all in one because my HP was so big but considering that this was small and $50 more than the printer i was looking at AND it had networking ability i decided to try it out... the print quality is not bad for a $150 printer and it's small size is great. i only have one problem with it... it seems that you have to install the brother software to be able to print... most of the "network ready" printers run a print server so you can just enter the ip address and go... but for the price and features overall it is a good piece of equipment

I've only had this one day, so this is not a long-term review type thing.After some searching around, we decided to buy this printer. We were NOT looking for anything but a printer - but we had to find one that we could throw on our home network, and would work with both our old windows 98 machine, our two macs, and any winxp laptops I needed to bring home from work. Price was extremely important - at this time we just can't afford a printer that's has a high sticker AND high ink costs. This machine met, and exceeded, all of our requirements. We managed to get it when there was a mail-in rebate going on, so the price was extremely low.I was worried that printing from our Win98 machine was going to be a problem, but not so. All other things being equal (ie, if every machine was trying to print a very simple MSWord file, not one trying to print a pic and the others printing simple text), the machine that is the slowest is our wireless laptop. Even so, the print time for our home use is quite acceptable.Set up was very very easy - the only small gotcha that wasn't readily apparent (until I actually looked at the setup guide :-) was how to put the ethernet cable in and where the inkjet cartridges go. Set up on the computers was also quick, painless and worked immediately.The size of the machine is smaller than you'd think for the amount of things it can do. I think it's about 11 inches high, about 15 inches deep and 18 inches wide ... Amazon doesn't list exact specs, but if you look around on the web you can find them.Since we weren't looking for a copier, scanner, fax, etc., these are all bonuses to us. We haven't fully tried all of these aspects, but as we do I may come in and update the review. Our daughter is really excited that she can now have some of the pictures she's drawn as her background her her machine; having something that can in a pinch act as a copy machine should come in handy (those zillions of forms for school....); I don't think, however, we'll be using the fax ever.As I said, we've only had it a day or so, so we'll see how it goes long term, but right now we're so very very pleased with this purchase.
