I'm really pleased with this scanner/printer. I wanted a cheap reliable printer, and I got a scanner to boot.
Its easy to use, doesn't use much ink. Excellent value for money. Fairly quick. The USB cable is a little badly placed(under the scanner panel) and the cable isn't very long. But that a minor problem.
I defiantly recommend this , even if you just need a printer. Its still good value.
Just to update this review 10/1/2008. I'm still really happy with this machine. Still going strong. Best printer I've ever purchased.
 Massive flaw January 13, 2008

I imagine the people giving this product glowing reviews haven't run out of their first ink, or if they have, they had spare ink all good to go. Listen up: if this printer is out of ANY ink the unit won't print. Even if you're out of yellow and you want to print in MONO, and set it to the MONOCHROME setting, it won't print AT ALL. Now that's just plain rude! This is just so great if you get caught short at midnight with a report to print. Puh-lease. I've had it - this thing is only three months old but off to the auction site it goes.

This is a good multifunction device. Although the "supposed" flaw that it can't print when a tank of ink is out is true, most color inkjets do this nowadays! So buy a set ahead of time. This is one of those RARE printers that can take aftermarket ink, as low as $2.50/tank. Why argue about ink cost? And for those who complain about no USB cable-- printers don't include that. Why get a new one every printer you buy?
That aside, the device works well. The copy function is excellent, even on plain paper, and makes B&W or color copies. Software includes PaperPort. In a few minutes, we were using MS Fax (incl. in Win. XP). Setup/tank pressurizing takes about 5 minutes. DON'T plug it into the computer until the software asks for it. Other than that, a breeze to use. I installed this for an 80+ year old couple who are tickled.

I have to admit, I didn't care for the Brother printer at first. But it has definitely grown on me. Glad I gave it chance! It does a very good job of printing, and I'm very pleased with the scan capability. So far it's been a very dependable printer. I had assumed it would come with "sample" print cartridges, but was pleasantly surprised to find they were "full-sized" cartridges.
Meets Expectations February 10, 2008

I have had this printer for about a month. I purchased it for its scanning and copying capabilities. Both functions have satisfied my expectations. Of course, the printing quality has also been great. The hide-away paper tray was a bonus. I installed this printer with a new Dell PC with a Vista operating system. I encountered no problems with the installation. The ink usage appears to be acceptable for my requirements. Third party ink prices for Brother printers are very reasonable. The combination of the ink usage efficiency and economical ink prices played heavily into my decision to purchase this printer.
