I know my expectations are too high.

Had one for years, but it just quit. So I got another one because I really don't like a few other suppliers.

It does the job! Plus no subscription BS!!

Got this printer to replace a very old HP that I had to go to and physically connect to all the time (plus it was so old that the drivers were having issues half the time).As we only use laptops and the printer isn't anywhere near where we usually work, I really wanted to get something WiFi enabled so I can just print without having to hook it up and hoping it works without restarting the computer.Didn't realise how much I'd like the connectivity - printing Amazon returns from the phone feels awesome!Also, the scan to email is great as well!Oh and lastly, screw HP with all the subscription and lock down BS. Not going near that company until they stop all that stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second Brother, better than my first. Good features.

My second Brother multifunction laser printer. First one lasted 11 years. The scanner finally developed a defect making it useless for quality scans.This one is improved. Wireless printing is nice, though mobile printing is kludgy. Fine with me, I never use it. Just wanted to try it out and won't be doing it again.Scanning is good. Printing is good. Slightly smaller than my previous model.

5.0 out of 5 stars great price

Several years ago I switched from Brother printers to Canon. This piece of junk reminds me why. When I needed to replace the Canon that had served me quite well for 6 yrs (prior Canon lasted 5), it was for cosmetic reasons; printer still worked. This time Canons with features I need were all too large and heavy. So I took a chance on Brother. How bad could it be, right? Answer: VERY bad.My main requirement for a printer, besides the obvious, is an ADF. Other lasers I saw with that feature were bulky and heavy. The Brother came and no wonder it was so light. It looked and felt like a toy. I'd say it performed like a toy, but it would have to improve to garner that much credit.First, who the #!%$&* thought it would be a good idea to design a printer that requires user to go in BACK of the printer to clear a paper jam?! Every office I've ever worked in, every home office I've ever had, printers are against a wall. I have yet to see one sitting in the middle of a room. For certain types of jams, I have to pull printer out about a foot or so, turn printer around, then clear the jam.WHY MUST I REPEATEDLY HAVE TO "RECOVER" WIRELESS CONNECTION? No such thing as a quick print job--at least not the first print job of the day. I never turn off the printer, but do turn off my PC every night. Next day, every day, I have to go into printer settings, choose "Recover WLAN," wait about 5-10 minutes for document to print. I've learned to fix breakfast while it warms up, wakes up, or whatever it's doing all that time.Those are the biggies. More minor annoyances: Screen doesn't stay lit. Very strange defaults, some of which I still don't know how to disable or change--assuming that's even possible. I've used printers for 25+ years. I've had Epson, HP, Canon; Canon being best, but all were ready to go once set up--and stayed ready till they gave out. My 1998 printers were better than this Brother.Okay, so will it print from my phone or tablet? Yes, both. But that doesn't make up for its many inadequacies.Scan? Yes. Adequate I suppose.Fax? I've had no reason to try that.Obviously, I DO NOT RECOMMEND this Brother printer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality

Nice printer! Especially at the price point I bought it for. Does everything I need, and prints beautifully. Only downside is that it’s a bit noisy, but for the savings and quality I’m good with it. Have used HP for many, many years, but their prices are climbing and they won’t let you use non-HP toner any longer. I refuse to pay $80 for a toner cartridge! Brother allows non-Brother toner cartridges and still works great.
