Works very well for home use as a multi purpose p
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a good product. Better than HP because you have to get insta ink set up for them. Don't like that.

Easy set up.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Printer is handicapped by a newly designed very clunky paper tray. It is also a bit of an ink hog. Networking is smooth.

Like that it prints last page first
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Prints last page first so don't have to rearrange papers/not super fast but gets the job done and accepts other company ink cartridges

Printer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I sometimes have issues with what I want to do. It’s probably more the operator than the product.

Awful!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
