    Slower than 1995 printers Took literally 15 or more minutes to print one page with some color. Then when the page finally printed, it printed messed up! Left out a whole paragraph which was shown in the preview. Do not buy! My printer in 1995 was waaaaay faster than this. Waste of money.

    Poor customer Service Bought printer, it would not work with print preview enabled. Called customer support and they said it was a Windows 10 related issue. The printer I replaced with this one print preview worked just fine. Never had a problem till I bought this. I took it back bought reliable Canon TS 8520 print preview works just fine. Not willing to admit that bug is their fault.

    Hard to set up I continued to receive error message that prevented me from continuing to set up this printer. I did a chat with Brothers who connected me to their network team who connected to my computer and told me there was something wrong with my network and offered for $99.00 to resolve the problem. I figured this was a scam and returned the printer.

    Did not work, had to return it Despite help from the manufacturer, we could not get the machine to operate, and so I returned it

    Slow and ink issues If you want to print out pictures in grayscale or color, the print takes forever to complete. Also, if you run out of color ink but have enough black ink to print grayscale, the printer still will not allow you to print. All 4 ink cartridges must be installed for the printer to do anything, even if you just want to scan a document. There should at least be a way to bypass but there isn't.
