Great with one catch
Date of Review: Aug 20, 2005
This was an inexpensive printer, but supposed to be of decent quality. Since we bought this printer, my wife and I have printed countless resumes, directions, our wedding invitations, and well... I can't think of it all, but we're probably near to finishing the half-toner cartridge which came with it. So far the printer is perfectly reliable. Additionally, Brother even supplies Linux drivers, so my wife doesn't have to move her windows laptop to print anything, she just prints via the network with our Linux media box acting as print server.
The only down side to it, is that the pages come out quite curled. How curled? If you try to print some pages double sided by printing the odds, and then putting the paper in upside down to print the evens, you'll fail. The printer won't be able to grab the curled paper. However, if you try to curl it in the opposite direction over a table edge, it uncurls enough as to be useful. This was much more of a problem for our wedding invites as they were on heavy stock and needed to be pressed for days before they were ok.
