    This printer was very good. Downside was the delay in stock and availability. However, service was strong and the product is very good.

    Printer is handicapped by a newly designed very clunky paper tray. It is also a bit of an ink hog. Networking is smooth.

    Longevity is the issue and the title implies. This is the second printer if it’s type we had. The first went screwy and wouldn’t print after a month or two. I had the Best Buy protection but quite honestly that was a bit of a joke and hassle to use. Couldn’t grab a printer off the shelf but had to have it delivered. Also needed to use AND buy protection again for the replacement which doesn’t seem right seeing as it failed once already. When you first get it, it’ll print great and seem like a good choice. However, only time will tell.

    So far I've really liked this printer. The only hassle I've had was printing out a greeting card envelope. Got it, but print was crooked.

    I sometimes have issues with what I want to do. It’s probably more the operator than the product.

    I had a little difficulty at wireless setup with the touch pad, though entirely my fault. In other words, read the instructions.

    This is the worst printer ever! I bought it to replace my previous brother printer (j475DW) that I loved but it was having problems printing in color- maybe overworked this past spring. This printer never recognized the cartridges and I keep getting an unable to print error when there is paper in the feeder and no jam. I have to fiddle with it just to get it to print. After 5 months now it’s not printing in color correctly either. It’s also really loud and slow. Previous model was much better but they don’t sell it anymore. I would have purchased the 475 again if I could. The only thing that works correctly on this printer is the wireless.
