I absolutely love this printer. It’s been a fantastic addition to my space, handling daily printing tasks with ease and consistent quality. The ink tank system offers great value and reduces the need for frequent cartridge replacements, which saves time and money. Whether printing documents or labels, it delivers sharp, clear results every time. For anyone who prints regularly, this printer is a dependable and efficient choice. Just buy it when its on sale or a prime day or something - not full price.

I was worried about the software not being designed for the printer. The software that is downloaded to pc says to press the wireless button, but there isn't any wireless button. I searched on google for the wireless button for that model and google suggests there isn't one. The cell app similarly says I must press the wireless button, but there isn't any button that says wireless on the printer. Youtube says to download the app, and press the 'stop' button so the printer shows on the cell app. But the cell app finds out what my printer model is, and won't let me proceed unless I press the wireless button. The app forces me to lie about pressing the wireless button to proceed. I was later able to find the wireless button. The wireless icon on the button was the same color as the button, and was quite difficult to see. The software then worked. Under a month after purchase, my wireless router randomly switched the passwords, disconnecting all my gadgets, and costing my many hours on tech support resetting everything, likely for the 3rd instance of my AT&T router resetting all the passwords and costing me many hours on tech support with other organizations whos gadgets no longer worked. My Brother printer stopped working because the AT&T router was entitled to switch the passwords about to mysterious passwords. I could not reset the wireless information on the brother printer using any guides on google or in other searches. When I tried to contact Brother, the brother-usa.com website didn't actually have any way to reach anyone. The contact us button confirmed that there was chat and phone, but no buttons were obvious that were the actual chat or phone. Google listed a mysterious phone number. Position in Que: 25 Estimated Wait Time: 19 minutes ------ ------ On 2-5-23 I located a file associated with a Brother printer I bought on Amazon, and was able to erase part of the file, and this allowed my wireless internet to work decently for the first time since a 7pm 2-3-23 crash of my internet that I reported to IC3. But, the Brother files keep re-appearing, and are associated with wireless traffic that I cannot control. I had returned the Brother printer quickly, a few days ago, after I noted that their customer service was not available, and after the printer could not sync with my wireless in numerous days of attempts. "Software update notification" was impossible to uninstall despite returning the printer. It was associated with a cantonese or japanese script error message during a force deletion of some of the files in the folder. My google maps suddenly started working, slightly, at more locations, with the Brother file partially removed. But on 2-5-23 a 4:15 pm, I was again not 'allowed' to use internet, a common effect for me as a disabled person, where in I am targeted first in cyber crimes for being disabled. I was able to force close Steam, and the wireless was working again. But at 7:00 pm on the 5th, the wireless was again not working, with no access to websites, or IC3, and I was able to get it working by erasing another Brother file, in programfiles(x86)/Browny02. Again, I was not allowed to erase the file completely. But, deleting the componants that I was allowed to delete did then mean I was allowed to use the internet despite being disabled.

The printer works well, a little noisy but at this price point it's acceptable. Simple to install and the blu tooth works great, over all i'm happy with it so far.... I'll wait to rate it a 5 once i see how many sheets it prints.... My only issue is not with the printer it's with amazon not having a price match policy for their own sales. Amazon reduced the price on this machine the day after i ordered it but would not reduce the price that i paid. I did contact Amazon and the help agent i texted with assured me that he cancelled the order but the machine was delivered and i was forced to return and reorder at the lower price. Oh well....

I have had this printer for a few months now and have only printed a handful of documents and such for work or personal use. It was brilliant, it was amazing, it printer things perfectly, it was fast, it was pretty, it was great... And then one day it just completely stopped working. At first I thought it was my laptop as it needed an update, I uninstalled and tried to reinstall after I updated. Tried unplugging and plugging it back in and even tried a new cable. But alas it is as dead as the parrot from the Monty Python Dead Parrot Sketch. So now I have a large, very expensive paperweight rather than a working printer. I'd gve it zero stars if I could. If it was working like it should be this is a five star printer.
