I would recommend this to a friend Better than HP
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 2 HP printers that were pure junk out of the box it was time to try a different brand. This one works way better than the HP's. I realize HP set a very low bar to surpass but we are happy with the purchase. And the ink is cheaper too.

I would recommend this to a friend No manual
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.How come there is no book manual. I got one on my on my other brothers printer. I will not try to print out over 500 pages. A manual should come with every printer. Not very happy at all with this. To make me happy send me a manual.

Not worth the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this printer to replace an older HP ink just because of the Brother reputation and my past experience with my Brother laser jet printer. When the printer does connect over wireless and can be found as an air printer by my iphone it works great and print quality is good. But it takes multiple tries to get connected over wifi even using my macbook air sitting tight next to the printer, making it very frustrating to use.

BROTHER MFC WIRELESS PRINTER
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Brother MFC-J1170DW Wireless Color All-in-One Inkjet printer is a nice compact size. Everything you need in one compact printer product. Unpacking the BROTHER was easy ... unlike other printing products that I recently acquired, this one had minimal packing and a lot less tape securing the printer inside the box with all of its styrofoam. Setup was easy. Instructions were easy to read and understand. However, I really hate where the USB and ETHERNET cables connect .... inside the printer, under the scanning area, and the cable snake around inside the printer, before they exit out the back. Why didn't Brother just have connectors on the back or side of the printer instead of this elaborate, inconvenient, "inside the printer" connection. I ended up using wireless which is ok. Downloading the Brother software from their "setup" site was easy, but it didn't work. Even though the correct printer model was selectable in the software, it never found it during setup. I ended up downloading this printer's software from Brother's usual site and it worked just fine, but I had already wasted about 20 minutes of my time using the nonfunctional software from their "setup" site, that was noted in their Setup Instructions inside the box. After getting past the initial software issues, the printer seems to work real well wirelessly. Quick response between the laptop and printer. Quality is good, BUT I wish they had more settings on the "print quality", like an economic setting that most printers have nowadays. I didn't try the faxing capability due to no landline. Overall, the BROTHER MFC J1170DW is a nice, inexpensive wireless printer. It will be interesting to see how long the printing cartridges last since there was no data on their or their "test" packaging.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely difficult to set up. This is not my first printer. I have been using hp. for years, but because of poor building quality & short life time ,& hp preventing use of refill cartridges I changed companies. This Brother printer is a nightmare & does not include set up info. Why does everyone assume that the person has a mobile phone. I also like them telling you to print out info I would if I had a printer
