Basic printer, but does what it's supposed to do and have not had any issues in over a year. Love that it prints double-sided, rarely jams, and keeps on printing. The cartridges also last a long time. We were constantly fighting with our old printer.
Bought this printer because the amazon page explicitly stated Linux support.. Works very sporadically.. I've given up and just boot up Windows if I need to print something. As far as operating under Windows, works flawlessly. Not so much for Ubuntu, Arch, or ChromeOS
Ive been extremely happy with this printer. I use it mostly for personal things, printing articles and gaming materials. The ability to quickly print double sided is a paper saver, and its very easy to use the wireless features, allowing me to print from my phone or tablet.
My old (non-Brother) printer was slowly dying. I looked at reviews of several Brother printers. They all seemed to be good machines, so I bought this one. It is great! I use duplex printing to save paper sometimes, but with the old printer this was a manual process (slow and sometimes difficult to get right). With the Brother automatic duplex it is really easy. It warms up very quickly and prints fast.
I got this as a second printer so I could print from my iPhone. Nothing fancy about it but it prints out a nice clear page. I only wish it had a tray where the printed page exits the machine that was a bit shorter so it would be easier to grab the papers. They just lay on the top and I find that it's not always quick and easy to grab the paper. But it functions very good.
