Reviews around buy (5.00 of 5)

  • Husband purchased from Best Buy for $5 more ($99-$15 recycle old printer) due to 1 reviewer stating will not print 2 sided in Word for Mac
  • Bought this at Best Buy after returning the 6968 and it had the same issue as the 6968, which was the auto document feeder always scanned with faint vertical lines on my scanned document.
  • My purchase was from a local Best Buy store, but am confident Amazon will be getting this.
  • Finally we went to the local Best Buy and bought a new All-in-one Brother laser printer, as soon as we plugged it in, it worked perfectly!!!

Reviews around time (2.11 of 5)

  • so if you are lounging in the Cook Islands, sipping an adult beverage and suddenly realize you need to send a signed document permitting your neighbor to pick up your dog from the boarding facility before you get home, and you want your 3 page legal document concerning the pickup arrangements to be single sided...you can change the default setting of duplex to single sided printing and get the completed form to print in your home office for your sweet neighbor to grab on their way to the facility when the time is right
  • When it print it prints well, but it's a hassle every time I try to print because of the wireless connection.(Update as of 4/18/2018)
  • and it still jams up every time I need to print something
  • Also, Heads need to be cleaned every time we need to print

  • I also have created iron-on transfers for t-shirts, fabric bags, etc. using Avery T-shirt Transfers for Inkjet Printers for use with White or Light Colored Fabric or Avery Dark T-Shirt Transfers

  • If I find I print more, I can always upgrade to the next higher plan, which is still less than replacing the ink tanks one time a year.
  • In order to correct I need to reboot the printer.
