Reviews around work (5.00 of 5)

  • Double sided printing works very well without additional assistance from me turning over paper.
  • As with every Brother printer I have owned it works trouble free, easy to install and prints wonderfully
  • Not received yet at the time of this review, but i already own one of these printers and works great with the right drivers
  • I have never written a review before but this printer works very well for home use, prints each document about six seconds which is plenty fast enough for me
  • The scan works great as well however, making copies, takes absolutely forever!

  • 27 B&W PPM is a complete lie
  • It does a good job printing and the price was very nice.
  • This printer does a good job scanning in documents in the top feeder which is a nice feature I did not have before
  • Otherwise, it does a good job scanning, copying, and printing
  • And this printer does just as good a job, printing, copying, scanning and even the occasional fax.

Reviews around quality (4.36 of 5)

  • The print quality is fine, and it is as slow as has been reported in other reviews
  • Quality is pretty good from what I can tell but this printer is SO SLOW!!
  • BTW don't update the firmware as it can mess with generic ink cartridges.
  • There's a lot of other issues I could go into, like the difficulty of installing the software and the poor quality of the scanning, but I think I've made the point here
  • The functions are good as well as the speed and print quality.

Reviews around product (4.01 of 5)

  • I recommend this product to everyone who likes to make home office life easy.
  • I bought this printer because I had heard that brother had good products
  • I used to have a very good Brother printer and was hopeful this would be an inexpensive way to get a wireless color inkjet, but this is clearly a shoddy product designed to extract as much cash from buyers as possible.
  • I will never buy HP again due to their faulty product and bull i put up with.
  • This is the WORST product I've ever purchased on Amazon.

Reviews around feature (3.99 of 5)

  • The print quality is fine, and it is as slow as has been reported in other reviews
  • This thing has terrible control features, and cannot connect to the network for anything.
  • I bought this printer four months ago and enjoy all features of it EXCEPT the paper feed
  • It can print on postcard paper, which didn't work on my old Epson, and has a lot of nice features like duplex printing.
  • but I'm sure it works just a well as the other features.

Reviews around print (3.16 of 5)

  • This printer makes good quality prints for both text and photos.

Reviews around cartridge (2.23 of 5)

  • Only a fool like myself, would think that Brother's "cheap" ink cartridges are a good reason to buy this printer
  • Update:I’ve had the printer for awhile now and it devours ink, I was constantly replacing expensive cartridges for the tiny amount of printing I do
  • It's bad enough that we sometimes have to waste whole cartridges of new ink because the printer won't read it as a full tank, and there's only one chance for that cartridge to be read correctly.
  • Wouldn't work half the time, goes through ink so fast and cartridges are crazy expensive
  • I bought compatible print cartridges and it is working just fine.

Reviews around software (2.16 of 5)

  • but for the last several years Brother has had really good wireless software and
  • It may not like the cheapo paper I got at Walmart, but do they really think people who can only afford a cheap printer can afford expensive paper?It is impossible to figure out how to set the defaults and their software is complete junk
  • The software is a bit annoying, but annoying each time I use it, so it adds up
  • Again, same software and Mac worked just fine on my HP printer
  • Mine was installed within 1 hour - including the paper jam issue and installing some useful, optional software.

Reviews around time (2.15 of 5)

  • I mostly print Word docs, but the few times I've printed pictures, they turn out nice enough to put on the fridge (get a fancy photo printer if you want art gallery quality)
  • This time I at least knew the Ink Changing Ritual so it wasn't that bad.
  • I don't know how durable it really will be time will tell.
  • It worked decently for about 2 months and now there is a different issue with it EVERY single time I use it
  • Wouldn't work half the time, goes through ink so fast and cartridges are crazy expensive

Reviews around paper jam (1.47 of 5)

  • there's a paper jam and leads me through the process of opening access panels and clearing it, but there is no paper in there to clear.
  • Printer works as it should - the only complaint is that we have to turn on and off every time we want to print wirelessly.
  • I replaced the other brother printer I had because it kept telling me that there was a paper jam
  • Printer works as it should - the only complaint is that we have to turn on and off every time we want to print wirelessly.

Reviews around piece (1.29 of 5)

  • The last HP printer was a cheaper type but a real piece of junk after a few months.
  • And if that wasn't enough, this piece of junk refuses to print in black and white if the Cyan, Magenta and Yellow cartridges are empty
  • I am one who generally dreads technology and set up (because it usually takes so much longer than anticipated, doesn't work as expected, missing a piece, you name it), but this one was a breeze
  • I can honestly say this is the worst piece of technology I have ever owned
  • When I *can* get it connected to my computer and can get it to print (which is nothing short of a miracle), it literally takes 15 minutes to print a single page (not a double-sided page, either).I deeply regret buying this piece of junk.

Reviews around google cloud (1.00 of 5)

  • Scroll down to "Show Advanced Settings", then scroll to Google Cloud Print.
  • It performs its functions adequately, after a few days of start-up hassle visa-vis Google Cloud Print
  • After I did that, it was fairly easy to add to Google Cloud print on my Chromebook
  • However, Google Cloud Print couldn't find the printer, and finally, when I used the CD, it took me partway through an installation process (including a "successful" wireless setup process) and then STILL couldn't find the printer ("No device found").
