Review: Simple, easy to set up and use printer that does what I need - Set up was easy. Downloading the app took most of the time. Prints much faster and quieter than my failed expensive printer but that is relative. I like the boxes of ink. It is a basic printer but it does everything I need. It is compact which I like. I am going to buy another for the wife's office. Edit: I would remove 1/2 star from my rating if I could for the Brother feature app. I could never get scan to work. I did find the Windows scan app worked perfectly and it was already there. I love the printer. It is quiet, fast and inexpensive to use. The paper magazine is clunky to use but fine for home use. Edit: I had to uninstall the "iprint&scan" app as it inundated with upgrade requests. Works just fine with the windows drivers. For such a simple printer the upscale app is unneeded. Love the printer-it just works well for a very inexpensive printer-fast and quiet.
Review: Great for non-tech sappy old people! - This printer works very well. I had no trouble getting it set up. I needed more ink-the ones that came with it were dried up, despite what the ad reports. I am using a cable to connect to my laptop and there is no internet instructions for the most part. Just connecting the cable and the minimal task of setup. It only will print single pages, increasing the cost of paper. but it is oh so easy to use. I bought it for a second printer since my expensive one malfunctions about half the time. Glad I did! My final cost, with rewards was about 71.00. Making me even more happy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great printer. Setup is not so great
*by B***S on October 12, 2025*

I can only give it four stars because the setup was a mess. I did get it working, but it was so not intuitive. I spent a career as a computer professional, and many years doing desktop support. I'm not exactly a novice. I was installing on a MAC and sometimes the support for MACs just isn't stellar. Sometimes I was flying by the seat of my pants with years of experience. I did, however, get it working :). The quick guide is kinda sparse. Too sparse. It says "now install the ink cartridges" which is mostly intuitive only they did not tell me if I needed to remove the tape from the cartridge first. I did and I still don't know If it was what I was supposed to do. And no clue how to turn the thing off ... really, nothing in the instructions on how to turn it off. I printed a test page of something that has intensive colors and detailed graphics (a geological thin section in XP view). It took FOREVER to print, but I guess that is ok. It was really color intensive. I hid under the table half the time looking for the X-wing fighters. It seriously sounded like a full on Star Wars assault on the battle star. Pew, Pew, Pew ... no kidding. I'm ok with that, just thought it was interesting. I was amused. Having said all that I'd probably buy it again. My comments are 1) hey, it's a 99 dollar color printer. I can do without the multi-function stuff as I have other devices. It will meet my needs. I don't need fast, I just need reasonable color resolution, 2) It was cheap :) If you are considering this (or any other color inkjet for laser) for your primary printer - just don't do it. That is a bit of free professional advice. The consumables will break the bank. You just can't feed a color printer of any description as a primary printer and come ahead. It will eat your pocketbook. And it's slow as molasses. 3) read carefully before you buy. Way too many companies now want to snag you into that subscription thing. You have got pay them to keep the thing working. Great business model for them, not so great for you. And don't buy a service agreement ..... serious money maker for companies. If it works out of the box, it will likely work for years. That goes for cars as well, but that is another story for another time 5) Brother is a great company and makes great printers as does Canon. You get a lot of bang for your buck for ninety-nine bucks. Just don't buy it as your only printer. OK, off my soapbox. Sorry for the rant. Chose wisely.
