so far so good November 17, 2009
Jan L. Crean (Tullahoma TN)
Bought this machine about a month ago. Has a relatively small footprint. Works fine, but already needs new toner. So I'm a little suspicious that they skimped on the toner, even though it was brand new out of the box. We have another Brother printer/copier/FAX/scanner that we've had for about a year, and it is still doing well, although it is a higher end model than this new one is. We'll see how long this one lasts...

Easy to set-up, easy to use. Using the XP scanner utility, it spans flawlessly. It prints as expected, seldom jams. It does all that can be expected of it.
We hardly beat it hard, so this review is for relatively mild use. I believe I could use much more and still be equally satisfied.
The toner that came with it has held up well, unlike some start toners that only print a few pages before running out. It looks like buying toner isn't a ripoff either.

If you don't need to print in color, this is the multi-function for you. Compared to inkjet printers, this machine prints quickly and provides crisper, higher quality outputs. The scanner provides very sharp scans with excellent color fidelity. The only reason I did not give it five stars is a fax related issue. My previous HP machine would "listen" for a fax tone. I had my answering machine set to 4 rings and the fax set to 6 rings. This allowed my voice mail to pick up the call, then at 6 rings the HP would listen for a fax tone. If it heard one, it received the fax, if it didn't hear one, it just let the voice mail record the call. With the Brother, you must set the fax capability to "manual" if you have an answering machine for voice mail. This is not a big deal if you only receive faxes infrequently.
This is a fine, relatively quiet machine. I buy a lot of things from Amazon, but bought this from Costco for a much better price, $119.99 plus tax.
You should ignore the bizarre 2 star review that complains about the high per page cost. His calculations use ridiculously high prices for paper and toner.
Taking advice October 11, 2009

I had bought Canons in the past and didn't realize that one has alternatives to spending as much on printer cartridges as I was spending. I was forced to buy a new printer because my Canon broke down after only a couple of years. A DP professional advised me to consider a laser printer, telling me that the additional price would be more than offset by savings in cartridges. He did not tell me about the greater speed (not a major concern for me) nor about the relative noiselessness of the laser.
I am more than satisfied with my purchase.
 Buyer beware: high cost/page for a laser October 9, 2009

I seriously considered buying this printer for home use based on its 4.5-star rating by six Amazon users. The 1.5¢ cost per page rating by a major consumer organization was another major attraction. But, then I wandered around the Staples store some more and did my own calculations. There are three toner cartridges that can be used in this printer: TN-350, TN-360 and DR-360. Their respective prices are $57.69, $72.29 and $115.49. Their claimed maximum pages-yield are, respectively, 1500, 2600 and 12000. Excluding sales taxes, these compute to the following respective ink costs per page: 3.8¢, 2.8¢ and 1.0¢.
A 2000-sheet case of 8.5 x 11 white laser paper costs $38.99. Excluding taxes, this computes to 1.9¢ per page.
So, for ink and paper you are going to pay between 2.9¢ and 5.7¢ a page (excluding taxes) depending on the toner cartridge that you buy. This is getting up in the range of inkjet copy costs and you do not have the option of color printing. I have no idea how the consumer organization came up with their 1.5¢ cost per page. This is a gross underestimate.
I ended up buying a Canon Pixma MX860 which gets 4-stars from 173 Amazon users. It is wireless, prints color and sells for $30 less than this Brother at Staples. The consumer organization claims 4.6¢ per black-text copy for this Canon. Based on their major underestimate on the Brother, their estimate on the Canon may also be inaccurate. A 2500-sheet case of inkjet paper sells for $38.99 which is 1.6¢ per sheet. This is 16% less than laser paper. Unfortunately, I cannot calculate the yield from a black inkjet cartridge since there are no yield figures from the manufacturer. Thus, I do not presently have a cost per page for the Canon inkjet. And, the Canon is too new for me to comment on at this time.
I am forced to rate the Brother for this review. But, I did not buy the Brother, so I have no user experience with it. I am giving it 2 Stars based mainly on the high cost per page for a laser while having fewer features than many comparably priced inkjets.
