Unbeatable
This machine is fantastic. This is my first Brother Printer, and I'm not sure why I waited so long to get the best. This thing prints circles around my other machines. Also, the set-up was more than super easy; the software, the downloads, the setup, the ink add was totally seamless. Everything works just like you want it too.

Very Misleading
I returned this unit, the ad says duplex 11x17, it does NOT, and says that you have 11x17 tray, you do NOT. you must put the 11x17 paper in the back manual feed area, terrible design. I would NOT recommend this product.

Since I purchased my Brothers printer about three and a half months ago, I have not been pleased with the connectivity to my printer. My printer is about four yards from my house router and it will not print on command. However, for some reason, about midnight it prints everything that I had tried to print that day. Frustrating!!!!

Love my Brothers
I have previously purchased HP printers due to their cheap cost. I should have followed the following adage...I'm too poor to buy cheap. Very unhappy with the last HP printer so I investigated the top 10 home printers and I liked what I read about Brothers' brand and purchased it. I am SOOOO very happy with this product! It does what it's supposed to do, its fast with p...

The print quality is excellent, but the instructions for setting up a wireless connection are WORTHESS! I needed a computer savvy friend to get it working.

Best Printer I've Ever Had
I bought this printer to replace my previous printer which was also a Brother printer. It worked flawlessly for over 13 years, no issues whatsoever. None. Just stopped working. May have had something to do with a power surge earlier in the week.The main reason I bought it was it would print 11" x 17" copies. The main reason I bought the MFC-J5855DW was it also printed 1...

I had to give up on using my new Brother copier?
I tried to start my Brother last night for the first "serious try". No luck at all, and I even had a friend over to help me who knows 10 times the electronic knowledge that I possess.
He finally gave up after 2 hours or more and talked me into buying a printer/copy machine that would match my computer model much better. Hewert Packard.

Don't get it.
This Printer has been so complicated. I figured with it being a higher price option it might be easier to use. it wont connect to the computers half the time. it has trouble connecting to my phone and I cannot figure out to to scan to the computer. every task requires trouble shooting. the whole online data base for trouble shooting is a joke. I'd honestly like to retur...

Copy / Scan
I love this printer. I just wish it scanned and copied 11X17 Ledger paper. It prints copies in that size. Other than that it’s awesome

The "person " likely Ai kept asking the same questions repeatedly. After starting to make some progress (after 25 minutes) the chat disappeared. I received an e-ma...

One annoying issue
The printer works well except that when multiple pages are printing the pages do not stay in order. the mechanism that shoots out the copies has some sort of glitch where some copies are placed on top of the previous one and some go underneath so when I pick up my copies they are not in order. I made sure the plastic part that pulls out to catch the paper is all the ...
