Anyone knows if this is a good machine?

I have a Brother MFC-465CN which is probably similar though this isn't wireless (gotta plug into network). Very good interface/software for the price IMO. I was a little disappointing in the printing speed, but I probably need to get a laser to get the speeds I'd be happy with.

The Brother LASER MFC and Fax machines are very good, reliable and not too bad on consumables.

Notice that this is a INK JET, so a good deal if you don't print very much, a poor one if you do, but that's the way it is with every INK jet. I've got a Brother MFC 7440N at home for faxes and black and white printing. And at the office there's a 2820 fax machine.

As for this particular machine you can always check the reviews on cnet or newegg and see what people are saying about it.

I must disagree with Zorak, I print about 10-20 pages a day of full text and I have never gone through more ink than with a Brother machine. I switched to an HP and I only have to buy ink a few times a year.

Is this any good?

Brother makes very good printers and fax machines. My office uses them. They have excellent customer service.

I've never had good luck with Brother products.

My experience:

Slow printer, but fairly quiet.
Uses the 61 ink vs. the high yield 65. The 65 provides 2x the printing for about $2 more. The 65 is used on their more expensive printers. That is for brother ink, not generic.
Copies comes out accurate but light.
Uses a cleaning cycle that consumes ink almost constantly.
Fairly compact unit. Non replaceable printhead. It goes, so does the printer. Buy the extended warranty if you go with this.

This seems to be good from the user reviews here [image]
