This isn't the worst printer I've ever owned, but it definitely makes the short list. The problem of the paper curling that other people have alluded to is a significant one for me. I'm an author, and when I print out a manuscript, 350 curly pages are unwieldy and look amateurish. And the fact that a page curls when it comes out of the printer means that the pages that follow it often get caught on the curled edges, pushing the page onto the floor. Ridiculous. I've had a couple of paper jams in the first two months of using it, and a problem where it wants to grab more than one piece of paper and feed them through the printer together, but staggered.On the plus side, this printer is extremely fast. Issue a Print command, and it starts up quickly and spits the page out without hesitationIf all you print are letters that you fold into an envelope, I don't think the curling pages are a serious issue, since the envelope will compress them. But if the pages are to remain unfolded, there are far more suitable printer choices out there.

Very easy to use! Big enough to handle all the functions, yet compact enough to put almost anywhere. Well worth every penny and would recommend it as a "smart buy".

For a machine at this price I was not expecting anything good, but I was wrong. All the features (Scan/Fax/Print/Copy/Photo reader) works better than I expected. The software for PC and Mac has very good quality too. I will buy Brother's all-in-one product again in the future. It is a good machine for light use. I use it at least three times a week for fax and for daily printing and photocopy.Just like what they said on the box, it is for home and home office use. It does not have auto paper feeder. It support overseas fax mode (which is good when fax via VoIP service such as AT&T Callvantage), but this cannot be as the default setting, so you need to set it up for every transmission.The image scaling function works fine just like regular commercial photocopy machine.*** The comments below is written after I use it for almost two years ***This machine lasts more than one year so it passes the warranty, and then the printer functionality died after 18 months. During the 18 months of use, I constantly buy ink catridge for it because:(1) The MFC-210C will purge the ink catridge almost every day to keep printer head flowing. You lose ink without printing anything.(2) Among all four ink catridges, as long as one of them is low, the whole printer refuse to print. I can't seem to find an option to print it in reduced quality, which is a good feature for all HP printers.Because of the two ink reasons above, plus the printer head machanical failure, I decided to go back and get an HP printer after my happy two years with MFC-210C printer. Again, I like this printer because I get it for all nice features for only $79. Even now the printer/fax output is gone, I can still use it as a scanner.

I picked one of these a month or so ago on sale for $149. Unfortunately a recent accident with a sheet of labels destroyed the drum. Replacement drums for this unit go for $150! This surely presses the limits of the "Gilette" model of selling printers (give 'em the razor, overcharge them for the blades). I recycled the printer and replaced it with an HP-1022 (same capabilities, but the drum/toner cart replacements are only $50!)

Purchased this all-in-one almost a year ago. Works fine as long as I have lots of ink on hand. Even with a full black ink cartridge, if any of the other ink cartridges are empty (yellow, blue or red), you cannot copy, print or receive faxes in black and white. Also seems to use alot of the three colors even during a period of mostly black and white copying.

I have had this machine for other a month now & I really love it. It was easy to install over my LAN. It has so many features and for a terrific price (what it is priced now, is even less than what I paid).I did a lot of research before I bought this device. I have owned Brother devices before and many others. I love the low cost of printer cartidges for this device, especially since I print a lot of digital photos. The print quality is excellent! Having two paper trays is very nice, I enjoy keeping my photo paper in one and regular paper in the other. You can also check the print volumes on the MFC directly, which is very convenient.I also use the scanning feature a lot. There are many options to choose from when scanning. Having an ADF which can scan both letter and legal is very helpful. The PaperPort program that it comes with is great too for organizing and viewing your scanned documents.I have also found that you can scan thru the ADF and print at the same time. I found it really amazing how much having memory in the printer helps my pc performance. Even when I have it printing and scanning I can still run programs at the same time on my pc with little performance loss. When I used to print with my Epson, I couldn't do anything else until it had near completed the print job.I have yet to use the card reader, because I have another and I also haven't hooked up the fax yet. Those parts are nice to have in case I need them.

The ink consumption of this thing is a joke. It astonished me that although i was rarely using colour, it was still being consumed at an alarming rate. I thought that the ink level indicator may be time rather than use based, but the ink had actually dwindled! besides this, efficiency is generally appalling.all i can say is be prepared for the exorbitant cost of consumables because you will be going through them very quickly. if anybody could suggest a decent and efficient printer (mfc or standalone) i would greatly appreciate it, as i am sick of inefficient printers wasting my time and money - especially ones which stop you from printing in black when the colour has run out (which you weren't even using!)bottom line - unless somebody is giving it to you (and even then be sceptical), steer clear of this lemon!

This is the first time I bought a Brother printer. I will never do it again. From the onset, I noticed that it is flimsy. The scanner doesn't work well at all (and I refuse to spend 4 hours setting it up like one of the other reviewers did) and is not user-friendly whatsoever. I printed ONE sheet of business cards and the ink is already going out. I can sum up this printer in one word: JUNK. The only reason I'm keeping it right now is because I can't afford a new one. The minute I get the money, I'm going back to my old, reliable HP all-in-one!I gave it one star because I do like the size of the printer. To any potential buyer: Stay Away. Don't waste your money!

I bought this to replace an HP OfficeJet G85 with DirectJet printserver, which never had good drivers for Mac OS X or Windows XP. The Brother 5840 is as slow as the reviews say and slower than I expected, but the print quality is roughly as good as the officejet's.The big advantage over the officejet, however, is that the Brother just works. The Windows XP drivers worked out of the box (for SP2). With the patches on the web, Mac OS Tiger works, while Mac OS Panther works out of the box. Network printing is easy, as is network scanning. The officejet could not properly scan a multipage document to Acrobat 6 (Windows or Mac), while the Brother handled it perfectly.The media reader is not useful to me, but kinda cool. The separate ink cartridges are a big step up from HP, though. Overall, a good network multifunction printer at a great price.

As a courtesy to all those who might be taking the time to read this reviwe before buying the pinter, I would like to warn you that the ink system design for this machine is very bad. It uses black and color ink very quickly, and does not let you do any printing at all while any of the 4 ink cartridges are empty. Thus, run out of one color cartridge and you can no longer print black and white text documents. Very annoying, very expensive. I will do all I can to avoid every buying another Brother printer. Brother shows little respect for its consumers when it forces us to buy more ink than we need by not allowing us to print with the ink we have.

I got this today and I'm returning it tomorrow. The printer part is fine, but I do a lot of scanning and I am dumbfounded by what I discovered with this aspect of the machine. First off, when scanning you don't get a preview, you have no option of controlling the size of the scan, or the HSL or any other color/brightness control, nor can you control the dpi. You push the scan button and it scans the whole bed. If your object is smaller than the bed size, too bad. If you want something at 72 dpi (which is all any monitor can "see" so all you use for the web), too bad. If the colors aren't good, too bad. If there's a glare off of something you're scanning, too bad. No options are available. The files end up being large as they're the size of the bed and at 300dpi (the default).When I first tried scanning and didn't get a preview window or any controls, I picked up the manual to figure out what was going wrong. Guess what? no mention of scanning in the 200 page book. When I looked "scanning" up in the index, it told me to look on the cd. When I looked on the cd, nothing. I went to Brother's site and downloaded a manual from there--only to read that you don't get any options on any part of scanning!

My husband and I purchased this Brother MFC (Multi-function Center) when our HP all in one quit after only 2 years!! (I later found out that is common for HP printers.) Anyway, this all in one works great!! It is simple to use and was a breeze to set up. Plus the ink is a lot cheaper than other brands. I have used the copied, scanner and the printer, but not the fax so I can't comment on that. The other features work great. The copier/scanner is very clear and doesn't leave 'lines' on the scanned/copied items, like some other printers do. This is a great product for a great price!!

For the money I could not find another MF device that even came close to this unit.Printing, Fax, Scanning, and copying are all as expected with output quality on par with other units in the $150-$400 range. However, it is its advanced functions that really make it shine.First, the MFC has a built in 10/100baseT server. Not just a print server but a server that will support both local network and internet based printing, faxing, and even FTP access to memory cards. Want to share your digital photos; just put your CF, SD, etc. card in the printer and have your friends FTP in and copy the files. Or, use a memory card to store other files that you want to make accessable via FTP.You can also do a lot of other interesting things like auto-forward faxes, store and forward on demand, broadcast, and so on. In all cases a Fax can be sent via normal phone line or via email depending on the 'address' you enter.One very cool feature if you have broadband is that by opening port 515 on your home router/firewall you can print to the Brother MFC from anyplace you have internet access. Print from a hotel, airport, friends house, work (as long as port 515 is not blocked), etc. Very cool.Also, the 20 sheet ADF is great for making copies or faxing larger documents while the flat bed scanner allows copy/fax of bound books, etc.One the down side:- The unit is not small; allow enough space for it- The paper tray only holds ~100 sheets; a common issue with consumer printers- Memory is limited at 16MB; don't expect to store tons of complex documents- Color faxing ONLY works if you print the Fax when it arrives; you can't store a color fax and print it later or forward it to another Fax- You have to install all 4 ink carts. for the printer to work and if one cart. is out of ink the printer stops printing; e.g. if your Yellow is out and you want to print a B&W fax you are out of luck- Unlike HP units, the Bother has fixed print heads so if you have a failure you can't just replace the cart.; your have to replace the printer- You can't change the IP Ports that the printer uses for its various network functions; e.g. FTP is fixed at 21, printing is fixed at 515. It would have been nice for security reasons to be able to change these to a user-defined value.All in all this is a great all-in-one unit that has some great features that no other unit it its class has. For the price you can't go wrong!

DO NOT RECOMMAND THIS PRINTER! There are 4 ink boxes and you have to have ALL of them NOT EMPTY in order to print! This is a BIG surprise! In addition to all the difficulty of using it, I can't even print a b/w page using a brand new black ink catridge only because one of the other colors is thought by the printer to be "empty", while there are still ink in it! I am giving up on it.

Don't buy the Brother HL-5050 if you need to print preprinted checks or other preprinted forms. The printer will pick up the ink from the checks or forms and transfer them back onto the form as it prints. Apparently some Brother laser printers get hotter than other brands and this heat causes the ink to transfer back onto the printed document. Some preprinted forms with a lot of text become nearly unreadable after passing through the HL-5050. The printer also curls paper more than my previous HP printers, also apparently due to this "excessive" heat. Sometimes after printing several pages, a slight burning smell comes from the printer (like your central heating system the first time you use it in the winter). I never had this problem with my old HP 4P or HP 6P.I called Brother tech support and they were of no help whatsoever. They said the ink transfer was not a warranty issue and would not offer an exchange or a refund. They said the printer was working as designed.The price was good, the features decent, and the speed adequate, but I would not recommend this or any other Brother printer because of this ink transfer/heat problem. We also have the network version of this same printer in another office and it has the same paper curling problem. We don't use that one for printing checks so I can't say for sure if it does the ink transfer, but my guess is that it does.I will never buy another Brother printer. I only wish HP still made a decent quality laser printer for a small office. The HP models I looked at before buying the Brother seemed very cheaply constructed compared to my old HP 6P.10/06/2004UPDATE-Found a Solution to the Ink Transfer ProblemIf "Media Type" is changed to "Transparencies", the ink transfer does not happen. The paper curling seems to be a little better too. Why didn't tech support tell me this? Hope this helps any of you with a similar problem.

I got old, first-generation flatbed and sheetfed scanners (6-8 years old) clogging up my desktop, so I started out looking for an inexpensive replacement. After extensive research, I came down on two AIO choices--Brother MFC-5440 and HP Officejet 5510. I like the Brother better because it's more solidly built. The HP should print better photos, but these days you can just buy a cheap high-quality photo printer. Since I already have a photo printer, so photo printing capability is not my priority. Don't take me wrong. The brother still prints fairly good photos. As I said, scanning is my priority. I was not disappointed. The Brother scans much faster than my old flatbed and the images are far better than my sheetfed. I like the 35 page ADF; the HP Officejet has only a 20 page ADF. What's more, the Brother comes with PaperPort, which I've been using for a long time. The HP Officejet 5510 doesn't come with it, and I'm not even sure whether PaperPort works with it at all. Lastly, at this price range, you can't get an AIO with network capability. In a word, I'm satisfied with the Brother MFC-5440CN. It's well-built and well-designed. This is my second Brother home office product I own. While they might not excel in photo printing, overall I think they make good solid office products.

I've used this machine for about 1 month, but I had problems to use it on the home network. I have shared my FAX/DCP or MFC machine from my Windows XP machine and when other Windows users trying to print can not. I asked the technical support 3 times for assistance in this issue, but instead of looking the problem in details, they started to teach me how to make my printer shared on the network, which I've done many times. I wonder if the knowledge of their tech support people is more than that of average computer user. My old inkjet printer worked very fine as a shared, although it had only a paralell port connection and the present Brother machine is worhtless if you can't use it as shared on home networking. The knowledge of support people makes me very unsatsified so probably I will restrain form buying another Brother products. In my opinion this product is not worth the $120 spent for it, and also as result of the fax connection, my telephone answering machine is not working properly.

Don't buy this!I have had this printer for six months and only used color once when I scanned a picture. Now the color cartridges are empty! But that's not the problem. The problem is, it won't let me print in black even though that cartridge is still half full! So now I have to go out and buy three color cartridges, which I WON'T EVEN USE!The other negative reviews here were correct. I wish I had read them. Do not buy this printer unless you want to buy four new cartridges every six months, even if you don't hardly ever use color.I've never been so disappointed with a printer in my life and I've had a lot of cheap ones.

This printer is a waste of money. I've printed less than 100 pages and already I've had to erase the ink. The scanner and software is cumbersome and unintuitive. Also, probably the most annoying thing is that the paper come the wrong-side up so that you need to resort your paper, which becomes especially annoying if you're printing more than a few pages. On the bright side the fax and copy is simple, but that's about it. I suggest you spend more money on a better model or try a brand like HP or Epson. Like one of the reviewers said before, you get what you pay for! You buy a cheap printer you pay it all back with replacing the ink and the endless frustration so you might as well get one that uses the ink or toner efficiently and is without worries.

The only complaint that I have on this model is that whether or not you use the color ink or not it empties fast and then the printer won't work until you replace one color that may be out. I only use black and white right now, I've used no color copies or faxes or scans at all. The color cartridges still emptied out fast and the printer stops printing. Advice is that you always have several cartridges on hand to replace or you may have printing just stop in the middle od something really important.

After purchasing this useless doorstop to use with my G3 imac w/ OSX 10.2.8, it took forever to figure out a work-around to get the printer installed when the setup instructions gave no guidance about Brother's 'Device Selector' program, which pops up every time you restart, asking for an ip address. Wasted over an hour on the phone with tech support, only to be told that d.s. was only a useless annoyance that served no purpose, but since the tech had no knowledge of how to determine the ip address of the 'printer', I would just have to live with the annoyance. Printed nice quality on plain paper, except that it printed everything IN MIRROR IMAGE. Driver update to correct that, once installed, rendered the printer invisible to the system. Tech couldn't figure that out either, then advised that he would have to have the mac 'expert' call me back. THE NEXT DAY. The best part was when the tech suggested I should just forego network printing, and just stick to USB if I wanted the printer to actually work. Promises, promises-was looking forward to using what appeared to be a full featured multi-function printer, ended up shipping it back. Don't waste your time with this clunker!

I was going to order this printer, and had gone through the checkout, and when I looked at the final screen, the shipping was approximately $60!!!! I bought a lesser Brother model for my parents last Christmas and they have had great results.Beware of the shipping!------Shortly after my review Amazon started carrying the printer again instead of through a third-party. The shipping cost problem has been fixed. I now own one of these and it has been decent for the price.

Win XP PS2 made our Compaq A3000 obsolete, so as a simple solution our family sought out a new AIO..We settled on the Brother MFC-5840, easily installed the drivers, software without TechnoGeeks help. Print Quality is as good as I have seen on more expensive printers, color photo printing is adequate for our use, the color mode is a bit slow, but 15 ppm is more than some printers we researched. The card reader is a plus, and the Fax easily installed. For our use, this AIO suits our needs to a T...Thank you Brother..
