 Sweet! No More HP 1410 FrankenPrinter! December 20, 2007
Gerald Hewett (San Diego, CA)
55 out of 55 found this review helpful
I can't be happier about finally being able to take a sledge hammer to the festering pile of... err... that is, the HP PSC 1410 All-in-One Printer (Q7290A#ABA) I've been chained to for the past two years. This new Brother MFC-465CN is *everything* that the HP PSC 1410 is not -- it's quiet, it's fast, it's insanely easy to use, and (the single most important feature of all, in my opinion) it doesn't install hundreds of megabytes of useless bloat-ware and a dozen memory- and cycle-pig services on your computer when you install the printer driver.
I've got the MFC-465CN plugged into my LinkSys WRT54G wireless router, with wireless NIC's on five Windows boxes. It took me less than a minute per machine to install the driver, and (*gasp!*) it didn't add any services! Or tool tray garbage! Or auto-run garbage in the registry! My prayers had been answered! I wept for joy!
Regarding the other reviewer comment about slow printing, I have the feeling that your mileage may vary depending on how things are connected together. I just dumped this here page (lots of color, graphics, images, and whatnot) to the MFC-465CN and it took just a hair over 30 seconds from start to finish. Much, *much* faster than my old FrankenPrinter. And the print quality is *superb*, for both text and images. No idea how photos will look, but my bet is that it'll do an excellent job of it.
Also no clue about how long I'll be able to go before I have to replace the ink cartridges, but ANYTHING has to be better than the FrankenPrinter, which ate a black cartridge every three or four weeks... even though I rarely print more than a page every other day (!!!).
Just the mere thought of being able to nuke all of that HP bloat-ware on my computers and disembowel that PSC 1410 gives me great pleasure. And I think I'll jump up and down on its carcass a couple of times, and sprinkle some salt on it, just to make sure it doesn't rise from the dead.
UPDATED, 16JAN08: I've been working this printer like a plow-horse for the past month, churning out all sorts of stuff (maps, photos, mailing labels, etc.) and I *still* love the bejabbers outta it. I've dumped at least a dozen full-color Google maps, a dozen or so photos, around a hundred B&W pages and lots (and lots!) of mailing labels, and as far as I can tell it's NOT EVEN CLOSE to running out of ink -- black or otherwise.
Very happy camper. Loving this printer, and thinking about buying another one and putting it up in the attic, just in case they stop making 'em.
It's a (Multi-Page Scanner) Brother! December 27, 2007
Jigar Shah (Austin, TX)

I've used Brother products mostly at work and found them to be functional no-nonsense products with the right features for SOHO (small office / home office) users. Although the feeder of our workplace Brother MFC device is busted... but these things never last too long, not more than a few (5K-10K) 1000 pages due to dust and wear/tear.
My main reasons for buying this multi-function center (MFC) device:
* Multi-page scan and fax (now I can scan in multiple documents, one by one from the feeder instead of being forced to use the flat bed, which is also an option for scanning larger or original/certificate-style documents that should not be put in a feeder). There are few/none low end products with this capability. You either get flat bed or heavy duty feeder machines that cost over $250.
==> The main value of this feature & my primary reason for buying this device is to scan all my important documents in to PDF for long term preservation. This is to reduce the number of copies of original I have to keep and anywhere access of digital documents. Not sure how well their OCR software will read the text in the documents. If it does read most of the stuff and that content is searchable via Spotlight/Google Desktop/Vista - whoohoo!
* Good software (PaperPort LE for Windows (XP & Vista) and PageManager for Mac OS X (including Leopard) for converting docs to PDF
* Network connectivity using Ethernet - connect it to a network hub/router and share it! And ofcourse it also supports USB.
* Decent price for refill cartridges (slightly higher than Epson & Cannon but not mind bending prices like Lexmark). I don't care much for the inkjet color printing since I don't need it and have a cheap & efficient Samsung (ML1040) black & white laser printer. For photo printing I'd rather go to retail stores since I don't print too many photos.
* Light-weight driver installation. I agree with the other reviewer that HP needs to take a good look at their software and reduce the bloat. Even Epson has some heavy duty stuff. Running their (HP, Epson & others) software at startup slows down the computer and the tray icons are just too distracting. Can't stress this point enough!
* A minor factor: Silver black finish, the flat top of this product makes it easier to pack and move if you lose the original box.
* And the rest, the usual: multi-function fax/scan/copy/print, multiple-memory card support, USB support (2 ports, not sure why).
Will update this review once I have direct experience on this particular machine.
 malfunctioning product with HORRIBLE customer service January 30, 2008
C. Richter (Louisville, KY)
18 out of 22 found this review helpful
I had this product for 2 weeks when it stopped printing anything from the computer or from the copier correctly.
It only printed the top half of each line of print. Knowing how frustrating this is, I initially tried the Brother website to troubleshoot. I went through all the online troubleshooting to no avail. At this point I called customer service. After being put on hold for about 20 minutes, the CS rep then walked me through all the basic trouble shooting AGAIN, after that hour and repeating numerous times that i had tried each troubleshooting procedure once before I was told to buy new ink.
My current ink was ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD!
I was also told they would not send me new ink - it was my responsibility. So I buy new ink, replace the cartridges and try printing again.
Again, it has the same difficulties. Again I trouble shoot. Again I call Customer Service. Again I am on hold for 20 minutes. Again I am lead through the same trouble shooting after repeating myself numerous times.
At the end of this call I am told I can take the machine to a service dealer to be repaired (if they Can) or they will send me a USED machine.
Why, would I want a new machine when just 2 weeks ago i bought a new machine? I am told this is the best they can do and it will take 2-3 business days. I am also asked for my credit card information. Why? I ask. This is for their protection - not mine. They tell me I have 3 business days to send the broken machine back to them. If I do not they will charge my card. I relent in the hopes of a working machine.
After 3 business days I do NOT recieve a working machine, instead I am sent a fedex label to be used to first send back the broken machine and once it is received they will mail out a replacement machine. This again should take about a week.
Again I call customer service. Again I am on hold for 20 minutes. Again I am asked to troubleshoot. At this I insist they listen to me and get me a new machine.
At this point I am told they made a mistake. They will gladly overnight a new machine IF I give them my credit card information. I am told if I do not comply, they will not overnight the new machine.
Again, I relent. After my credit information is taken down they tell me they will NOT guarantee an overnight of a new machine. They simply say they will try.
Now I ask to speak to a manager - David gets on the phone. He can only reiterate what has already been said. To add insult to how little this company thinks of its customer's he offers me a $20 coupon towards new ink from the brother store. If you have looked into this machine, please look into the cost of ink cartridges. $20 will NOT buy a new set.
Bottom line is this - Brother does not care about their customers, or retaining them, or taking care of malfunctioning machines. They will not be there for you or honor a broken machine. Please pay attention to their guarantee!
 Scanner is horrible for Mac OS X Leopard January 12, 2008
Sohail Ahmed (Seattle, WA USA)
14 out of 25 found this review helpful
The scanner used to work for me. After upgrading to Leopard (which is supposed to have updated drivers bundled), it would still print, but scanning always returns an error on the Mac. So I then found an updated driver separately released and I installed that, rebooting as instructed. Still no luck. Whether I ask the printer to initiate the scanner or Presto Page Manager 7 (came bundled with the printer), scanning is broken for Brother printers on Mac OS X Leopard.
Totally frustrating experience.
Tremendous Value & Performance! January 7, 2008

There may be faster machines that may have more features but I'd be hard pressed to find one in this price range! It's been great! I purchased it for a home network along with a wireless router because our kids received their own laptops for Christmas with wireless networking and I already had 2 computers, a PC and a Mac that existed on the network and this was a fairly straight foward process when following the easy to read instructions.
We love it here. It prints fast (compared to others we've owned in the past) it faxes and scans quickly and is a snap to do a quick print from the camera memory card!
Get one, you're gonna love it!
