 Nice Printer with Some Problems !! January 31, 2006
Albert Franz (Sammamish, WA United States)

I compared this to all the alternatives in the market (i.e. HP, Epson, Canon) and as of Jan. 2006 it has by far the best specs and nicest features. I have the printer setup using the Ethernet connection, drivers installed very easily and though still on version 1.0 seem to work very nicely. Printer came very nicely packaged and with very easy instructions on how to put it together.
Problems or things I have noticed so far are as follows:
1.) Printer makes lots of noise moving the different toner color cartridges in and out, kind of a clumping noise.
2.) Envelope printing is terrible, as mentioned by others. The printer can not print close to the edges so when printing a return address the text does not look good. I have never seen this problem on any other printer, even though the Brother manual states it can not print close to edges. It should be able to print as close to the edges as required by Microsoft envelope mode, IMO. Envelopes I use that are just a bit thicker then normal get stuck in the printer and will not work. There is a setting for thicker paper in the driver which may help but a nuisance to change just to print an envelope, and you can not get to the driver when printing with Microsoft Word envelope feature. Would need to make the change permanent in printer preferences and then go back into Word. Lots of trouble to print an envelope.
3.) No manual feed paper slot is another inconvienience. You have to load any special paper or envelopes into the tray each time. With all this work required to print an envelope your probably better off blowing off the dust on your IBM Selectric.
4.) Brother support via email just sends you canned responses and the two questions I had, I don't think anyone actually read the questions.
Overall though the printer is suitable. The copy feature is very nice and easy to use. Just load the paper in the auto feeder and press the COLOR or BW button. Finally I agree with the other poster here also, putting the big marketing sticker on the front of the machine was not a class act. I have not tried to remove it yet but it looks like it would be a pain. Still probably the nicest Lost Cost, All In One, Color on the market. At least until a single pass color unit comes out. Hope my review was some benefit.
 Beware if you want to print ENVELOPES! December 31, 2005

If you are going to print envelopes DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE! You must unload the paper tray to print one or many envelopes! A very clumsy design for envelope handling. I did not have jamming problems, so far. The user manual was wrong as far as loading envelopes. I am considering returning this machine. I need something that handles envelopes for my small business.

Do not purchase this machine. Besides the toner being so high you will be in for a surprise at the other consumable items that this machine requires. I purchased my 9420 in October 2005 and it has a page count of 14216. Today it come up with an error code to replace the OPC Belt. After looking in the owners manual I find that OPC Belt has to be replaced every 60,000 IMAGES. Please not that I said images, not page count. After contacting Brother I discovered that this OPC Belt carries a price tag of $503.99. If you add the price of the OPC Belt ($503.99, replace 60000 IMAGES), Fusing Unit ($577.99, replaced approx every 60,000 pages), and the high cost of the toner this unit is a real lemon.
 Best printer for the money, hands down!! January 23, 2006

I am a long-time HP and Xerox fax. I have always looked down on the Brother printers as toys that were good for people who did not know quality. I have owned other Brother products in the past and to be honest I was really never impressed until now. If this is the direction they are taking their company, then BRAVO!
I use both Mac and PC on my network (PC because I must, the Mac because I LOVE it) and they both work perfectly. The Mac does not require drivers and I see another poster who is using the same OS I am but did not know how to find the printer on the network. It took me less than 1 min to install, find it on the network and print.
I also bought another 512MB of ram to increase the ram to 576! Look into some of the cool security features too. You can add a 4-digit pin number and do a secure print. When you are standing at the printer select secure print and enter in your pin ID. You can have multiple pin ID's for different users. This could come in handy when printing out financials or employee reviews that you don't want others to see.
Cons: These printers ship with a HUGE sticker on the from that is extremely gummy and took me about an hour to remove with Simple Green and a scrub pad. This is totally unacceptable! I also emailed support at Brother with a basic question and they sent this form letter that did not answer my question. I asked the question even more clearly and got the same gibberish?!?! Lastly, if you need the additional 500-sheet feeder it is going to cost you another $500! This is also outrageous.
The ram install took less than 5 mins with powering down and powering up. Very easy to get to and only had to remove 2 screws. The quality of the unit is top notch, now I wish they could do the same to their web support. They are never going to be taken seriously until they support their products better and take customer questions seriously.
 Comes with starter toner cartridges. February 19, 2006

Something you should also consider when buying this is that it comes with the starter toner cartridges which have half the toner of the ones you normally buy. These toner cartridges go for around $130.00+ a piece (they have 4 seperate cartridges in each printer, black, cyan, magenta, blue, for a total of around 400.00+ more if you need all 4) so in a short period of time you will be spending hundreds of dollars more on this printer.
Brother should have the full toner cartridges in this unit when you purchase it.
