    Bought this printer for my home office. Liked the fact it was wireless and that I have bought other Brother printers in the past. It does take more time if you print big, color jobs wirelessly. Most text based printing is quick and smooth. If you are looking for a basic, wireless printer for small to medium print jobs, I would recommend this printer.

    Easy and not too complicated to set up. I love being able to print from my phone. We have not brought ink for it yet but I love that the other reviews say that the ink is cheap.

    I bought this printer for my parents, and they have had no complaints. The ink is noticeably cheaper than their old printer, and it seems to last longer. Set-up was fairly easy, as long as you've, at one point in your life, installed any sort of software onto a computer. The wireless printing works well which is great for them, as their computer is all the way in their basement.

    The price it was offered for, it is really a good deal. With multiple ink cartridges and having wifi setup and having application it is really easy set up and can be accessed across the house and it is comparatively faster. I loved the performance. It is quite early to review cartridge. But I believe it should be okay.

    This printer was easy to set up, as long as you follow all instructions there will be no problems, then you can download the app on your phone or tablet and print from there. I was extremely tired of going to other places and paying for copies and other things, so I decided to look for a printer and came across this one in the store which is not the original one I planned on buy and it cost more that what I went to purchase but I had a coupon from Best Buy and it was on sale so I bought it anyway and I am still happy that I did. The scanning function it excellent as well as the copy function, it does double sided prints which was my main reason for buying it, the ink is not expensive the only thing is that if you are printing a lot of papers and they are double sided it is a tad bit slow but not slow enough for me to return it, ohhh and it seems like it came with full ink cartridges cause I've bought it a few months back and still using the same ink. Always check ink price first before buying a printer it can save you tons of money.

    I bought this printer on sale after my kodack printer decided it had enough after 8 years. I had some experience with brothers printers at my job and was amazed at how easy they where to use. I appreciate the fact that the colors are separated and if one is used up all of them don't have to be replaced. The ink is also inexpensive and is available at many stores for far cheaper than Kodak ink cartridges. The printer takes up far less space than my previous one without sacrificing any standard features. I was able to set up, connect to my network and start printing in a matter of minutes. I didn't need to install the software to print but when it came to scanning the software is required. The software installation isn't long but there where some additional application that I didn't need nor want on my computer and had to uninstall them. I highly recommend this printer and hope it last for as long if not longer than my old printer

    Good basic printer with reliable WiFi. Slow but good quality black and white print. Photo quality is OK unless printing dark pictures. Ink price is much better than competitive products.

    Another Brother Printer for me

    I love Brother printers -- especially because of the multiple ink cartridges allowing you to only replace what's needed. This printer replaced an older version due to the desire for a wireless printer that can communicate w/ iPhones and iPad using AirPrint. Easy set-up and flawless operation. Best Buy staff appeared to be pushing HPs, but I'm never going back to those hot messes!!

    This printer is a good buy for the price. I ended up paying $60 instead of the $100, but $100 is still a decent price. It has all the features you'd expect. Auto duplex printing is a must in my opinion. The ink is reasonably priced for it as well. Printouts look as expected. I haven't tried printing photos on photo paper yet, but I expect they'll turn out fine considering what you pay for the printer. Brother is a great printer brand that can be relied on as well.
