    Poor setting instructions I returned it immediately. Setting is too manual and instructions are poor.

    Have to reset the network The printer itself works fine but just like some other comments said, I have to reset the printer’s network every few weeks or it won’t print from my computer. 12/24/2018 update: The connection issue is getting worse. Normally the printer will print again after I reset and reconnect the network once or twice, but today it just won't print from my mac no matter what I do. I even reset the whole printer three times. I was desperate so I went out and bought a printer cable and it is now finally printin... read more

    Arrrgh!!! Do yourself a favor and buy something else. This thing may print really well but I'll probably never know. I've stopped my 3 hour plus setup (I'm not that stupid for it to take that long) to write this. Now I'm trying to figure out how to reduce a copy to 50% of the original. The printer controls ( and the setup program) are the least intuitive of any that I have ever seen. The custom settings are there but it keeps reverting to 100%. You can't input a 5 and an 0 if the 100 won't delete with the X button, which is ... read more

    My First Brother Initial setup was no problem. This low cost printer is working very well with better than expected output. The noise level is moderate and speed to print from start up adequate. Each new set of XL ink cartridges will cost the same as the original cost of the printer, no surprise there. Will replace this printer after the one year warranty expires if cost to replace remains the same. This AIO printer is not designed for heavey multioffice use or heavey print jobs, overheating due to heavy use will cut its lif... read more

    Goes though ink unusually fast & unable to use wirelessly This machine used ink unusually fast and would not print in black if any cartridge was low. I was unable to use this wirelessly. I would return it if I could.
