Good but not perfect like it used to be

I'm not sure why Brother is going backwards in their product offering. Let me run down the positives, then the negatives. 1) Their support is better now than in the past. 2) They used to make a really nice machine that I owned for almost 10 years. It could print 11x17 scan double sided, print double sided and had all the functions they sell today but cheaper. This machine was the only one I could find that was close but won't print 11x17 but does double sided scanning. 3) The "tank" is not really a tank. It's just a bigger cartridge which is odd, maybe marking ploy to meet Epson which looks like a real tank! 4) The software is and has always been weak. I have multiple instances of Brothers utilities and I'm never sure what or which one to use. I always get a new one when I get a new machine, but often time use the older on to accomplish my goal.
All in all they make the best printers hands down. I have 4 and the basic laser is a work horse!!!!

Thank you for your feedback. At Brother, customer satisfaction is something we take seriously. The Brother MFCJ5955DW is an Inkvestment tank printer which is a hybrid of the Tank and cartridge printers. INKvestment Tank inkjet printers use reengineered, expanded capacity ink cartridges along with an internal ink storage tank (within the printer) to help minimize the need for ink cartridge replacement. The machine does support printing on ledger 11x17 size paper. Below is an FAQ link that will guide changing the paper size to be able to print on 11x17 paper.
For scanning this model uses the Brother iPrint and Scan app which is a different app from the Brother Utilities. Below is link that will guide you on how to scan using the Brother iPrint and Scan application.
