    This printer is great. Love it. I am upgrading only because it doesn’t print on both sides. Giving it to my brother and picking up the mfc-j4335dw today. I’ll never buy anything but a brother printer.

    Great printer/scanner for the money! We used it to download textbooks and answer keys for our children's home schooling. Works like a charm and has plenty of ink.

    The printer itself is fine. However, the support in the store was less than expected. Long wait for help, then when I asked for help the guy was cranky with me. When the support arrived, he was very nice. I stated that the printer needed to work with PC and Apple/Mac. He showed me a couple that would fit my needs. This was one that he showed me... it isn't compatible with any of our Apple products.

    Ink estimate is way off

    First off, this is NOT a tank printer. I knew this before purchasing but only from looking at reviews, it absolutely seems like it has a tank based on their advertising. Not sure why they’re even allowed to advertise it the way they do because it’s very misleading. That being said, it claimed to have 1100 pages worth of black ink, and I needed it for high volume printing for a couple months. I haven’t even printed 300 pages (I think I’m around 250) and I’m almost out of ink. I assume it’ll run out around 300 pages in. Now I know the 1100 page claim was an ESTIMATE, but 300 pages is VERY far off of 1100. I would’ve bought the competitions ACTUAL tank printer for a bit had I known ink would add up to this much. Im not sure what to do but I’ll probably end up returning it as it is not at all what it claims to be. Not sure if mine is defective and eating up the ink or they’re all this awful and expensive. Also the paper tray is really annoying to get out and put back in, and definitely seems more flimsy and breakable than it should be.

      Stated page yields for genuine Brother cartridges are based on the ISO testing standards. The number of pages that can be printed with a cartridge is affected by several factors, including paper size, number of pages per print job, amount of print on each page, font size, and print content (graphics, charts, etc.). Print jobs with large text fonts, graphics, charts, and/or large amount of solid coverage (black or any given color) will use much more toner and will shorten the life of the toner cartridge.

      Please verify you have purchased a new Brother Genuine cartridge by following the steps on this website:  https://www.brother-usa.com/supplies/ink-and-toner/security

      If you have any questions about your Genuine cartridge, please contact Brother customer service at www.brother-usa.com/support. Brother

    The brother printer was easily installed on my new HP all in one. It also seems a lot more sturdier than some of the other printers I looked at.

    We returned this because it was very hard to get it to connect to our Wi-Fi. There's no screen to interface with and the directions only showed us how to connect with a button on the wi-fi which ours didn't have. When we did connect, it printed poorly and then stopped. It's noisy though. We gave up quickly and switched to a Canon.
