Finding a reasonably priced all-in-one with duplexing, wifi, AND good support for OS X is no easy task. I''m very happy I came across this printer.

I''ve only had this unit for about a month, but so far, it''s fantastic. Quieter than the Brother printer it replaced, and unlike that old printer, two-sided print jobs don''t come out all curly. The document feeder on the top works well, too. Best of all (for me, at least), OS X users can access all the scan functions from the network. A lot of networked all-in-ones have pretty anemic support for Macs, so this was a very welcome discovery.

My only gripe is that I don''t think the device supports direct faxing from networked computers on OS X. I''m pretty sure the unit can do this in Windows, and manual faxing is obviously still an option. But "printing to the scanner" sure would be nice. Luckily, I bought this guy mainly for the scan and print functionality, so this limitation isn''t much of an issue for me. Heavy faxers (is this still a thing?) may want to look into this, though.

If you''re looking for a laser multifunction device with wifi and duplexing, the Samsung SCX-4729FW is definitely worth a close look.

Looks great, and it''s a pleasure to use. But keeping it fed is a lot more expensive than Brother models (MFC-7460DN and MFC-7860DW).

Samsung supplies could cost you $120 to $2,000 more than Brother supplies over the life of the printer (see below). Samsung tries to keep third party toner supplies off the playing field, and it hopes you won''t do the supply-gouge math.

PROs and CONs relative to the Brother MFC-7860DW -

PROs:

Nice appearance: Tasteful, refined. Looks like quality.

Fan noise does not continue for several minutes (vs Brother).

OKs:

Clunk-a-chunk printing noise is about the same as Brother

Control panel folds out for easy use while standing

CONs:

* Expensive Samsung supplies vs Brother (see Note 1)
