||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't like this printer at all. It is very noisy and makes a clunking sound when it prints. I would not ever buy this printer again.

Wouldn't connect wifi...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Brother Printers have always performed well for me...when my last one quit working, after reading reviews I decided on this one. I couldn't even get this one set set up. Returned it the next day. Opted for a Epson Eco Tank ET-4800... Set up was simple and intuitive. Evidently something brother needs to work on.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was shocked when I went to print two sided and found that I had to do it manually with this printer ! Also , this printer's programing is not recognized on some sites that I have regualrly printer off of for years. It takes a little effort and several more clicks to print off of them! The picture is even deceptive, it looks like a paper is coming out just printed, but does not have the the paper feed sticking up in back that would raise question to realize that this does not print double sided automatically. I had an Epson that lasted for years for me, that cost half the price and is a much better machine, although it had a few quirks. I will NEVER buy an Epson again! I feel so cheated with this purchase!

I would recommend this to a friendBad Choice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a piece of junk! It was difficult to connect and I still can't get it to scan images to my computer. I wish I had returned it when I had issues with it but I got side-tracked and figured I would be able to figure it out later. WRONG!

Brother MFC J 1205W
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up, print quality very good for the price point. Overall very happy with purchase.
I would recommend this to a friendWon't connect via WPS
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for work. Normally I love Brother and prefer it over the other brands. This model, however, would not connect to my wifi. I didn't try swapping it for another of the same model. I went straight to the next model up. The problem I had was connecting the printer to the wifi. The manual had one set of instructions, I went online and found a slightly different set of instructions. Both instructions I felt could have been written better. Neither set of instructions worked. Not too surprised, I've had problems with WPS setup in the past. Took it to the Geek Squad to see if they could get it to work and they couldn't figure it out. That's when I returned it and spent the extra $40 to get a printer with an LCD screen.

Never Buy a Brother Product
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Please do NOT buy a Brother product of any kind. It was an absolutely royal pain to install initially. Then it worked fine for months. Scans, prints, copies. And now starting today, it only prints blank sheets. It acts and sounds exactly like it's printing, but only blank sheets come out. Plenty of ink left. Removed and reinstalled all four ink cartridges. Updated to the latest drivers and firmware. Uninstalled and reinstalled all the drivers and software. Rebooted laptop. Still only prints blank sheets. Please do NOT buy a #Brother printer. Ever!

Kind of Cheap
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is cheaply made. Does the job but it's slow. It didn't cost much. You get what you pay for. Also, the last ink I bought only lasted for 20 pages. That was upsetting.

Dumb idea for password being required to update fi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Updating the firmware is a pain in the neck because it requires you to enter the printer's password. The Brother software doesn't allow you to view the password as you type it in. I can't see what I am typing incorrectly in the password field.
