I''ve been a loyal HP customer for more than 15 years, both as an individual and as by influencing corporate purchasing decisions, I am happy to say that Brother has finally gotten over their earlier quality and usability issues. See, in the mid-90s, Brother gave me and others a really bad taste in our mouths due to the issues with drivers, their buggy or non-existent software and just overall poor quality. HP was and is THE name in consumer and business printers. Epson was a good alternate, but there just wasn''t any others, so due to availability, I was an HP man.

Enter the Brother MFC, which was sleek, prints great quality and filled with useful features such as wifi / wireless connectivity and an interactive LCD screen and automatic duplexing (none of which is necessarily new or innovative except for the duplexing). The set-up was easy and full of wizards but the process takes a very long time, upwards of 30 minutes and in multiple separate wizards.

I like the quality and the features, and the cost can''t be beat either. For me, this is the printer on my desk as a worthy replacement for my faithful my Epson NX300.

***Note, I don''t have any information as to the TCO when inks are factored into the equation, which could swing my positive review into less favorable territory, but I do like that the ink cartridges are individual and actually show the liquid ink levels.***

We picked this up on special the other day and for the prices it''s hard to beat. As with other similar Brother models the biggest problem is the noise, the paper handling mechanism is very loud. The color is good but not great (somewhat light/washed on normal paper with normal settings compared to other inkjets I''ve used). Speed is acceptable, nowhere near as fast as listed (on normal print settings) but the business features more than make up for the few shortcomings. Wireless setup was a breeze and all functions (duplex scan and printing, emailing ect.) work as expected with all are Windows7 and Mac machines (though the Mac required installation of the software for any functions (even printing) whereas the Win7 machines did not). I would recommend this as a good basic office printer for occasional use but probably not as a heavy-duty printer or where high photo quality is needed in documents.

A nice looking, compact, and easy to use printer are the best things I can say about this product. It looks great on my desk with my Macs and works with iPad and other hand-held devices.

I used to have a Brother MCF-9840 CDW laser color all in one printer which was very good (lasted three years with heavy use) but the problem with it was that it was such a beast: it probably weighed as much as I do with paper and toner inside it, and was impossible to carry by yourself for most people. This Brother is basic ink jet though it does everything the old one does, just more slowly. It truly does make a huge racket when it prints and on the next iteration of this series that would be the number one thing I would tell Brother to improve. Sometimes you like to print things when you are on the phone and there is a need for less noisy printers. They could also improve the flimsiness of the paper tray and the ink printing quality, which is a little passé/faded. However, I print less things than I used to, which is why I chose this printer rather than getting another larger model (this is supposed to be one of the smallest in its category) but if I were to print a lot of volume again, I would probably need a laser. I bought this on sale, so it was relatively inexpensive and the replacement ink only seem to cost 20 -30% of what my prior toner cartridges cost with the bigger machine - a big advance in affordability.

Overall I really like Brother printers and I usually register them because they have good phone support which is helpful with an infrequent, yet confounding error message.

I will add that I could have had my older printer repaired, but to come out and service it would have been a minimum $90 for the visit (I couldn''t have easily lifted it into my car and taken it to the repair shop like would be possible with this one) and because of the price of printers, I decided it was probably just as economical to get a brand new one.

I plunked this printer on the bottom shelf of a piece of furniture in a handy location in our home, intending that we would be able to print and scan to/from it from all the computers in our house wirelessly. That all works wonderfully.

The print quality is outstanding. I have done conventional, quick mode, b&w, and color printing and it is all very very good. I have also done full-color 8x10 photos on glossy photo paper, and this printer does an excellent job. Previously, I had an HP Deskjet 5650, which still works and works well. But the print quality on this Brother beats it.

Why only 4 stars? Because setting it up was tedious, and bear in mind, I''m a professional software developer. The instruction book does not include "all" the instructions, and frequency refers you to sections of an electronic manual included on a CD with the printer. That''s annoying and bad form. And this is not a case where the paper manual is a beginner "quick guide" and the advanced manual is on the CD. No. There were things about setting up the wireless network connection to this printer that were impossible without reading BOTH.

The diagrams and button labeling in the manual, and on the front panel of the printer itself,

were confusing. Sometimes, they seemed to be referring to a button, but the panel has an indicator light with exactly the same name in a completely different place, and the manual doesn''t always show WHERE these controls or buttons are. Sometimes, they are actual buttons on the panel, other times, they are selectable items on the menus that display on the little touch screen that is part of the front panel interface.

Anyway, yes, I eventually figured it all out, and it prints and scans great, but the instructions really need work.

I have no idea how the ink life will be. I haven''t owned it long enough to know.

It took my husband about 45 minutes from opening the box, through setup and software to have this printer operational, including use by all computers in our home network. We are home users and mainly interested in quality black and white text printing as well as family pictures. For regular printing and color pictures, the Brother Printer MFCJ4410DW produces excellent results, very comparable to other printers we have used.

There are two "worst" features. First, the lid will not stay up at a 45-degree angle; it must be completely extended to stay open. This is a problem because we have the printer on a credenza which is under a counter overhang, meaning we have to manually hold the lid open. The second issue to note is that in a power outage, and notwithstanding having the printer on a surge protector, the printer froze. We finally figured out that the driver was corrupted due to the power loss, meaning that the software had to be reloaded, which takes about 10 minutes. We did this as a last resort because the error messages were not helpful, and neither was the Brother online technical support.

There are a number of "best" features, in addition to the print quality. First and foremost, is the speed of this computer; by far it is the fastest printer we have ever had, even for printing pictures. The touch screen is very user friendly and a real asset. The scanner works in both black and white and color, and it produces great copies.

The printer came with starter ink cartridges, which are necessary according to Brother because the first time you install the ink cartridges the machine will use extra ink to fill the ink delivery tubes, although this is a one-time process that enables the machine to carry out high quality printing. The starter ink has a greater volume than the ink cartridges sold separately for this reason. Replacement cartridges are obviously an issue with any printer. Certainly, they can be purchased on the Brother website at a premium price. Alternatively, we will be able to get all four replacements at either 4inkjets or LD Products for around $70 with free shipping plus tax for high yield (600 copies) or about $100 with free shipping plus tax for super high yield (1,200 copies).

This printer has a limited two-year warranty and toll-free technical support for the life of the machine. Only very rarely will we ever use the fax; however, the review will be updated once we have experience with this feature, as well as for how the starter and replacement cartridges perform and any interactions we have with customer service.

December 23 update: We tried three more features. The double-sided printing is easy and 100 percent automatic, and prints from an iphone or ipad are are breeze.
