I am renowned for my inability to fathom anything IT related. I am also a fan of anything that's user-friendly. The MFC210C is perfect for me. I use the machine occasionally and I do not expect miracles from a $100 machine as other reviewers, who probably print everything they touch, do. I admit the scanner is hard work, but it works. The printer is fine; the copier and fax too.I am most impressed by the simplicity with which an IT illiterate, like me, can set the machine going. Load the CD and off you go. This machine is child's play and I have fewer problems (so far none, in fact) than the office fax and photocopier machines.If I could get the same machine in England for the same price, I would award 5 stars.

Do not buy this printer. Do not buy this printer. Do not buy this printer. I've had to reinstall it every other week! It's too frustrating to even explain... you do not want to be this angry at an inanimate object. Just avoid it at all cost. I wouldn't even take it if it were free!

The product works okay in fax, print and copy modes. The scanner will not function. I called Brother support, went thru the drill and was told that this was being escalated to the next level and I would receive a call back the next day. After waiting at home for 2 days, I called Brother again. This time they were able to contact the next level, I went back thru the drill, added a number of new steps and was told that it would need to be escalated to level 7 (?) and I would be called back in the next 2 days. Again I waited at home for 2 days with no call back. I emailed them, received an email back promising that I would be called in the next 2 days. Again waited and no call. Another email, promised same day. No call. I sent a final email stating that I would be writing this review if I received no call back. NO email or call. If you get a working product, it may be a good deal, but if you have any problems, you will receive nothing but empty promises and have a non working machine. Scanning is the function I use most often on this computer, so I have to buy another product, which will not be another Brother.

Purchased this machine about 6 months ago. It worked great until about 2 weeks ago. The red ink stopped printing. The Brother repair shop thinks it's either a bad print head or a faulty circuit board- he's unsure as to which...Yes, it's covered under warranty, but I'm reluctant to keep it after repairs. I probably printed less than 2 reams of paper before the problem started. Fax works very good; Scanner works OK but the paper port software is mickey mouse. B&W copy speed on best quality is slow, on normal quality it's slightly better. I will probably sell on Ebay at a loss, count my blessings and buy the Canon Pixma that I debated on before the Brother purchase.

The MFC 5440CN purported to have all of the features I could want: networked scanning, faxing, and printing at an affordable price. And I could even use it on my Linux system thanks to the drivers from Brother. My hope in this product has been steadily diminished. The scanning still does not work in Linux. Since upgrading the firmware on board, I have lost scanning functionality even in Windows XP. The ink runs out QUICKLY. I run multiple cleaning cycles just to make print-outs legible. Often, entire lines do not print, and the lines that do print have terrible white lines running through the text. If you prefer to spend time using the product rather than troubleshooting it, do not buy this product.

Incredibly poor user's Manual. Nothing on how to use the scanner function (refers you the CD -- most multi-use machines have a very easy to use scanning function -- NOT this one!Paper jams easily.Response time is slow.Printing quality has been the least satisfactory of any I've evwer used. I'm planning to use the rest of the ink supply, toss this machine, and return to a more dependable multi-purpose device brand.

I purchased one on sale ($30 off) and was ecstatic over the hype to get 4 functions from one machine. The excitement fizzled as time after time received the "unable to clean, see troubleshooting"...the kicker is that this occurred during STEP ONE in setup. To make matters worse, the troubleshooting tips on the quick setup and manual said the exact same things and were useless for a setup problem. The onsite troubleshooter FAQs and the email reply from Brother were identical to the other suggestions, again useless! I will never, ever, ever buy anything from Brother. I will stick to HP - which has proven itself over and over.

I bought this printer @ officemax for $53, checked 8-pack inks for $20 on ebay and I printed couple of maps and it worked really nicely. Until one day, I realized it couldnt handle powerpoint of large size (~100mb). I reduced the size into 4mb but it still couldnt handle this job. It is so important to me since I need color slides for my class. I am a bit disapointed despite of the price of it and it's inks.

This would probably be adequate for very low-volume usage. The paper tray doesn't hold very much at a time. The construction is a little flimsy. The machine itself has performed well, but BEWARE... if you have any kind of significant volume, you will pay through the nose on the cartridges because you have to replace the color cartridges whether you use them or not. We are a high-volume department which receives faxes throughout the day. We use this as a black-and-white fax machine only, we do NOT use the color function at all, yet every single time we replace the black cartridge, within the next 3-5 days we have to replace the magenta and cyan!! (We have not yet had to replace the yellow.) In the three months we have had this machine, we have had to replace 10 black, 8 cyan, and 7 magenta cartridges -- almost $400 worth in all -- despite NEVER using the color feature at all. So where's the cyan and magenta ink going??! Apparently, Brother has worked out a way to make it use magenta and cyan along with the black, even if you're not using the color feature.That's the big caveat of this machine. And you must replace the empty magenta and cyan cartridges when prompted, or else the machine will not work. Based on these figures we will spend $1600 this year on cartridges for this machine. That's not a bargain and I would much rather have our old fax-film fax machine back or a plain b/w one that uses toner.

I bought this printer for the price of what most replacement printer cartridges cost ($40). Everything works perfectly. The best bonus is that all 4 replacement cartridges can be purchased online for under $10 total. I've owned the 240cn for almost 2 years and also bought the network capable model MFC 440cn. Both printers use the same inkjet cartridges. Both print, scan, fax, and read memory sticks flawlessly. I've printed photos on plain paper and photo paper, made color and b/w copies. I am pleased with both Brother printers.

(1) Just bought MFC5440CN two days ago, my original concern is about potential problems when installing it on my home network. It turns out the process is very smooth. I will give 5-start on easy installation. I didn't download any new software updates from the web, just use the enclosed CD for installation. (2) Printing speed is OK (not super fast).(3) Copy function is very good. The color copy produces very high quality print-out. (4) Scan function is good too. I can do preview during scan. and I can adjust the size before scan when scanning small size document. (5) The cost of Ink is not a problem to me. I have been refilling the ink for my Canon ink-jet printer for 3 years. MFC5440CN's ink cartrige is very friendly for ink refilling. Just get IMS's ink refill package from Costco. (6) Fax: from the manual, it looks like this machine has plenty of features/settings/options to support various needs in fax. 1/4 of manual is all about fax. I don't use the fax function. No comment on this. (7) Cost: only $80 after officeMax rebate.All and all, I am very happy with this product. Good value for the price.

I am on my SECOND MFC-210C in one year. My first machine broke down after only 2 months of owning it, so it was replaced under warranty. The second one that I have now is broken and of course the warranty is expired. I found out that it was an issue with the ink. If even a little drop of ink gets into the "microswitch" (what ever that is) the machine will not function, and an "unable to clean" message will appear. I paid a little of over $100 for the machine and it is going to cost $180 to fix it. The ink consumption sucks as well. I guess like another reviewer said, "You get what you pay for." My Brother MFC-210C reminds me of the fax machine from Office Space.

First of all, there are few, or maybe no other printers out there that you can just hook up to your network and just start using. Mind you, if you have a print server (Usually if bought separate this is about sixty to seventy dollars) this is not an issue, but many print servers only make the print part of the multifunction machine useful and do not include the scanner for network availability. To me this was a big thing, as I did not want to have this printer in the same room with my computer.This is a so-so printer. By now you have probably all seen in other reviews that once this printer's head wears out it is toast, there is no replacing it. Even if the printer were shot you would still have a fax and scanner to use. Printers by then will be even cheaper. I had a Brother MFC7150C prior to this and the replaceable head wore out in a about 2 years with really heavy use. This is the oddity with Brother, the head is resident in the printer and not in the replaceable cartridge. They say this makes the cartridges cheaper, but I don't find that it makes that much of a difference in the price, especially, if you have to foot the bill for a a hundred dollar head. Mind you this is probably why they opted not to make this printer have a replaceable one.Sturdyness of this printer is a bit light, the paper cartridge seems frail and is somewhat prone to jamming.The software was a bit buggy and I had to get updates on the web right away. I installed this in a network where the computers used Window XP and 2000. There was a little bit of messing around, but it quickly got to working.Given the price it seems like a good buy and I paid a little more than the current price listed here. The print quality isn't that crisp but okay for reference and college level documents. If you want it for a professional presentation this may not be good enough. However one thing to consider, is given the fact this is not a Picture quality printer, you might also own a picture quality printer and any professional documents could be made on that one, so this printer's quality wouldn't be an issue.Another reason I bought this printer is that the scanner has both a flatbed and feed option. This is cool if you want to scan an article or recipe in a book as well as copy or fax loose paper. My old Brother had only the feed mechanism and this is not useful if you want to scan a bulkier item. However, if you only have a flat bed and have lets say 10 documents to scan, a flatbed can be a chore. This is the best of both worlds.All in all a good buy considering the price.

I was really tickled to find an all-in-one with so many capabilities at such a great price. I am easy on equipment, so the cheap feel didn't bother me. I had a bunch of stuff to fax and it even faxed legal documents with ease. Copying was great and printing was okay, but not as crisp and clean as the HP it replaced. It began to take longer and longer for it to start printing and when it turned into days, I deleted the printer setup and added a new printer. Worked at first then took longer and longer again. Called tech support when an interium document failed to print and they told me to delete the setup (with the document) and add a printer. Second call I was told there was a problem with my laptop although this was the only problem peripheral including several other printers. The end of the line was trying to print 30 standard business envelopes - the first 5 (acceptable looking, but not good) took 3 hours with 15 trashed even feeding them 1 at a time. In the next 3 hours, I returned the MFC-5440CN and bought a networkable HP at about twice the price (but what is the cost of fighting with the printer and tech support).

Really, Don't bother with this one. I'm from England and the've discontinued it here. I've had it just over a year.The printing started fading on the right of the page so I bought a new toner. This didn't solve the problem. So I followed the troubleshooting advice and bought a new drum. This didn't solve the problem. I emailed Brother. They rang back (quite promptly) and after cleaning a piece of glass inside, it still didn't work.Finally they suggested I take it to be overhauled. The people I contacted at last gave me some sound advice. "Bin it"Probably the last time I use Brother!

I have a Brother 1840C fax machine. I didn't need the color capability when I bought it, never used it and I still don't. But every day the machine "cleans" itself, using a little of the color inks. And when any cartridge is empty, the entire machine stops working. You have to buy new color cartidges even if you never use them, because the machine makes sure they're used up over a few months. I bought this machine because I thought the consumables would be appropriate. Now I'm off to the supply store to buy Cyan and Magenta just so I can print out a black and white fax. Grr!!!!

summary: definitely a great bargain for occassional and lite-weight home usei bought the brother mfc 210c after much deliberation during the thanksgiving sale. i wasn't sure if this would be all it was touted to be, but decided to take a chance anyways because of the awesome price. I've been using this thing for nearly 4 months now and i've been pretty pleased with it.installation was a breeze. followed the steps and was done in a few mins.i occassionly send out business letters and print envelopes and this serves my needs pretty well. one thing i do find awkward is the loading and uloading of the paper tray: doesn't have separate feeds for envelopes and normal a4 papers. if you want to print on an envelop or different sized paper, you have take the entire tray out, remove the old papers, adjust the size of the feed by hand and place the tray back in. and once you're done, you have to repeat the steps to set things right again. but for the price (~$70 after rebates) i'm happy.the printer isn't very smart: if you manually set the paper tray size to a com10 envelope, but forget to set it to the correct size in the software, sometimes the printer causes smudges. (i guess i've been pampered by high end printers at work and school)didn't come with a usb cable, but got one for $5 at sams. i like the fact that the cartridges are separate so don't have to waste an entire cartridge if one color gets over.i've printed a few photos on glossy paper and the performance has been pretty good. you have to make sure that the "finest" setting is selected in the photo mode for things to be spiffy.the scanner is pretty quick for most things, but slows down terribly if you push it to 2400x2400 :) (wat'd u expect??)the photocopy option is by far the simplest: just put the document on the window and hit the copy button. works like a standard photocopier, don't have to go to the comp at all. scanning also promises to be the same, but hitting the button on the MFC ususally ends up scanning the whole flat-bed area, which is dumb. i'd rather bring up the twain import menu and preview what i'm going to scan in.quirks: every day around 10:30 or so, the printer "wakes" up and does something. the manual says the printer will clean itself periodically even when in stand-by.havne't used the fax at all.

just I have bought it , so I need to work more with it. it is nice , fit and fast. easy to instal the software and very friendly. I think the ink is a little bit expensive in comparison with hp. when it is printing there is a little bit shaking and noise , probably more than normal but not too much! the quality of color printing is good. the price is lovely !

I needed something cheap for faxes, copying, and scanning (I already own a laser printer for printing). The 210C looked like the perfect choice with its egonomic design and small foot-print. Problem is, I can't get the damn thing to work! It makes this loud winding sound upon boot-up, and stays in "Cleaning Mode". All other button functions become disable. So now I gotta take this thing back - and I hate taking things back.

I bought this printer less than a month ago and its already not working right. The paper keeps jamming.The paper tray is jammed and won't come out of the printer. I tried using the other paper feed and I get the same response that the paper is jammed. I wish I had paid attention to the amazon reviewer who mentioned the paper jam problem. This is my first and last time buying Brother.

I had always thought that Brother manufactured good products over the years from what I had seen and heard, so I finally decided to give them a try. But this turned out to be a big mistake...To begin with, what's good about this machine is that the normal functions it was dsigned to do for you work fine. The machine prints, copies, scans, and faxes at an acceptable level. But the quality of the color when printing is not as good as compared with my $45.00 Epson C40UX printer that someone gave me as a gift.The real problem with this machine lies in how fast it uses ink and the fact that it shuts down all functions whenever one of the four ink cartridges needs replacing.I've had the machine for about 8 months now and at most I've printed maybe 100-150 pages with it. And all the pages have been 100% black ink only. Still, over this time I've had to replace the black ink and color ink cartridges two times since I purchased the machine. For some reason this machine goes through its color ink cartridges even when you're printing only requires black ink. I basically use this machine for incoming faxes and occasional copies only, and during most weeks I don't even print a single page with it.In addition, when the machine indicates that you need to replace one of the ink cartridges, it stops all printing, copying, and fax functions until you replace that particular cartridge! So if people are faxing you something important, the fax will be quietly stored in the machine until you replace the ink cartridge. This is extremely disappointing that you aren't given the option of printing out the fax if you'd like to before you replace the ink cartridge. Plus, you may be waiting for an important fax not even knowing that it's already arrived because you see that no fax paper has been printed out from the machine.Because of this and the fact that my Epson printer finally stopped working, a few days ago I upgraded to a HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one, and so far it performs beautifully. But of course, the proof in how it really performs will come in the months ahead after I've had a chance to spend some more time with it.But with respect to the Brother MFC-3820CN all-in-one, I really recommend that you look around and find a machine that doesn't have the problems that I've just described to you. There are so many other machines on the market in the same price range that don't have these same problems, and you'll easily find a much more reliable machine that will also save you tons of money on replacing your ink cartridges.

I bought this product two months ago. I got a great deal on this one. I do nto use this for print jobs. But scanning, faxing, and photo printing. It si doing an amazing job.Scanning - Offcourse the software comes with it doesn't have too many options and it can do a simple scan quite and in no time.Faxing - It is doing a wonderful job so far.Copying - No complaints. It is doing what it offers.Regular printing - Do not use it that much, but it foudn to be doing it good.Photo printing _ I replaced my canon and one other printer with this one. I printed about 300 images before I change the catridges. Print quality is very good. I used matte and glossy papers. The best part is the cheaper catridges. get two sets of catridges from abcink.com for 26$ ???????? Real good deal.

I had the twin of this model, the 420CN. The only difference between the 2 is the 420CN has a photo center which at the time I thought was a great deal so I wouldn't have to kneel down and plug my digital camera into the back of my computer. Now I've found out that there are devices you can purchase that will do this. The 5440CN has a better resolution scanner, larger capacity document feed and a faster fax modem. These are the biggest differences. I had bought the 420CN. It gave me error messages after installing the ink cartridges. I called Brother tech support in case I was doing something wrong. They walked me throught the process again and confirmed the unit was defective. They offered to send me out another one immediately and I could return the defective unit via Fedex. The replacement model looked refurbished. It came in a plain cardboard box with no advertising stickers on the unit like a new one has. So did I pay full retail price for a refurbished unit? But this is the BIG PROBLEM!!!!!! I'm not happy with the quality of the scanner after using it. The retailer will not return the unit because it is not in ORIGINAL PACKAGING!!! I informed Brother of this situation and told them I would like to get one of THEIR units, the 5440CN instead of the 420CN which is the same price. They would not swap it!!! They said they only swap out defective models for the same model number!! Their actions,however, sending me a refurbished unit as a replacement unit for a brand new one is an OUTRAGE!!! Because of this I cannot return this unit which is less than a week old back to the retailer!! I'm considering Small claims court against a corporation. Think twice no three times at least before buying from Brother on second thought don't buy at all from them. If they treat a brand new customer like this how do you think they are going to treat you down the line???
