Great printer, great multifunction capabilities, very quick. Print quality for pictures is meh but better than any color laser I have seen.
Works great easy to set up etc. But it is a massive ugly thing with multiple paper trays that need a lot of side space
- Reviewed in Canada on March 7, 2024Pattern Name: PrinterVerified PurchaseI'm extremely dissatisfied with my recent purchase of this printer. It is advertised as an A3 size printer (11.7"x16.5"), but it only prints a maximum of 11"x17". This is a significant discrepancy, and I feel misled by the advertisement. It took me some time to unpack the printer and discover this problem, and now I'm unable to return it. I expect a product to meet the specifications advertised, and this printer falls short. While the printer itself works fine with decent print quality and a straightforward setup process, I'm left with something that doesn't meet my needs and I'm not happy about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good printer and scanner. Superior tech support from Brother.
Pattern Name: PrinterVerified PurchaseThis was my first new printer in several years, and my first tank printer. It does use cartridges, though they are huge compared to what I had before. Print quality is very good, more than adequate for my needs. It is FAST! I was astounded at how quickly it will print out a page, even in full color.
Getting it set up was a bit of a challenge for me, since unlike my previous printers, all of the software has to be downloaded and all we have is slow DSL. I connected it to my wife's computer with a USB cable, and that was pretty straightforward. Connecting it to wi-fi was easy, though I had to scan the network several times. When connecting to my computer in another room, I was unable to add it in Windows, so I had to download the software and use that to connect to it. Windows could find it on my network, but kept asking for a WPS PIN for the printer, which apparently does not exist.
I called Brother tech support twice with questions that I could not find answers to in the manual, and they were very courteous and knowledgeable. Much better than most help desks that I have dealt with.
Online documentation leaves a lot to be desired, in my opinion, but the superior tech support makes up for that.
I may update this review after I've had more experience with this unit, but so far I am quite happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS PRINTER
Pattern Name: PrinterVerified PurchaseAfter two recent attempts with failed Canon printers that were pieces of junk (and for years I did have a Canon printer I really liked until it just plain wore out), this Brother printer is such a relief! It is very attractive. It does have a larger footprint than many inkjets, but it feels well made and not flimsly like the Canons. I don't mind the size, but if space is an issue, that could be a consideration. Out of the box WiFi wireless hook was easy to accomplish, as was installation of the scan software and wireless connection to printer. Very good directions. This printer has a very deep paper tray so unlike the Canon I don't have to keep reloading paper all the time. This printer prints so much faster than the Canons. I realize it has only been a couple of weeks, but I truly love this printer. If things go south, I will provide an update - but as of now, I am beyond happy with this purchase. (Because of my bad experiences with Canon, I actually did buy the insurance protection on this one, just in case).
An Update Four Months Later: I still LOVE this printer. Quality! Unbelievable speed of printer and scanner saves so much time! I will never go back to Canon or HP cheapo printers. I am definitely now part of the Brother Printer Family. Black ink has been replaced once (and I print a LOT) and color ink still half full. Paper tray holds so much paper so not constantly having to reload paper. Nice quality print. I actually can not say enough good things about this printer after four months of fairly hard use.
An Update Almost Ten Months Later: I still LOVE this printer! I recently ran into an issue with the document feeder making dark lines on scans. I found an easy-to-understand tutorial from Brother on how to solve this issue - and yes, it worked. I print and also scan a lot, and this printer handles it all with ease. SO incredibly happy I decided to try this printer even though I had no prior knowledge of Brother products. Very strong 10 out of 10.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Work - Complete Waste
Pattern Name: PrinterVerified PurchaseI've had this printer for three years now, and I can count on one hand the number of times it's worked and has actually printed something, and all of those happened within two weeks of getting it.
First (1) it needed an update, and couldn't print until I installed the update. Had to contact customer service to figure out how to do that, but eventually did. This was three weeks out from getting the printer.
Then (2), with the update, it no longer recognized my computer. Had to delete and then re-dowload ALL of the drivers and programs.
Then (3) I had to get a new computer, and it no longer was able to connect. Contacted customer service, got it figured out.
Then (4) it stopped recognizing my computer, had to delete and then re-download ALL of the drivers and programs, but couldn't get it to work. On its own, the printer printed out PAGES AND PAGES of "test" while trying to connect. At this point, it has printed more in test pages than it ever printed at my command. Even contacting customer service, it just didn't work. They told me to try again later.
Then (5), I tried again, contacted customer service about eight months later, and was able to finally download (I counted) seven different programs just to get the printer to connect to my computer. These were not the programs included in the standard "all programs" download, they had to be downloaded separately, one at a time, until something finally clicked. Was finally able to get it to (as advertised) scan from the printer directly to my laptop without using a USB stick to interface. But that also only kind of works. I can't scan from the printer, I have to put my paper in the scanner tray, go to my computer, open the program, hit "Scan", and then it will scan.
Then (6) it somehow ran out of ink. Don't really know how, considering I barely printed anything. Here's the kicker, because one cartridge was out of ink, it refused to print anything, even in black and white. According to customer service, all ink cartridges are used in some way when printing in black and white. And the printer automatically shuts down services when one cartridge is out. At this point, I can barely scan anything without getting the error message that it's out of ink. Even when closing out the error message, it won't go away, and other abilities of the printer aren't usable.
Fine. I paid $300 for this printer, I can pay $50 for some ink. Order the ink from Brother that they says fits in the printer, after having to navigate the truly terrible site just to track down the printer in the first place. Pay $50, load it in the printer, and the printer "can't connect". Doesn't recognize the new ink at all. Look more closely at the cartridges, and the company screwed me, because while the ink I paid for is "compatible" with the printer, it isn't actually "for" the printer, and compatible doesn't mean anything because it won't print at all, since it doesn't "recognize" the ink.
One year of ink is incredibly generous, considering I printed four items approximately three years ago. But, sure, I've had the printer for more than one year and now it doesn't have any ink. That is an incredibly accurate statement.
At this point, I'd actually feel bad giving this to anyone for free, let alone trying to recoup money from it. What I have, instead, is a $300 paper storage tray that can sometimes scan if you install enough programs.
Please, please, please don't waste your money on this. It's simpler, easier, and cheaper to just go to the Staples or the library to print. If I could give it zero stars, I would, but I suppose one star will have to do because I have, in fact, at one point, printed on it. Less than five times successfully.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast Printer with a few complex but minor issues
Pattern Name: PrinterVerified PurchaseReplaced an HP printer with the MFC-J5855DW. Set up only on wifi in our home. This printer is FAST for an inket. We haven't used the full capabilities yet, but here are some initial things. Scanning is FAST but finding specifically where it saves the scans, unless I'm using a USB drive, can be a challenge. Configuring initial setup was not as easy as anticipated, due to the admonition to use the Brother app for my cellphone (which does not work well at all and actually caused more problems; I found that using the existing cell phone print feature on my galaxy S23 Ultra worked fine). Loading the Ink tanks was easy, once I figured out the proper orientation. But finding the proper replacement ink tanks was a royal pain (I almost gave up), as none are listed, so here's some help for you: Brother LC406-series are the proper ink tanks to use. Hope this helps. Bottom Line: this printer is worth the money by a long shot. Just be prepared for a little teeth-gnashing as you get everything setup.
