I have stalled around giving feedback on the MFC-J5845DW for several weeks, wanting to try out all of its features. Obviously the printing quality is excellent (I have owned a similar Brother All-In-One for years), but I have been VERY pleased at the beautiful photos I have been able to print off.....I used a semi-glossy photo paper and the results were crystal clear and true to color. Very happy!!
Chose this printer after thorough research and I'm happy I did. The install was simple. The printer is relatively quiet and fast, both single and double-sided pages. It is an all around great printer with great features.
After having a combination printer for over 10 years we took a chance and upgraded to the Brother. The installation was easy, especially for an old guy, and the device app and computer functions are far better than our former product. Everything works exceptionally well. My only negative comment is that the document print quality is not quite as crisp as our previous printer.
The printing works, but you can’t print on both sides of the paper so it is environmentally very wasteful. Wish I had my Canon printer back.

We are sorry that you are experiencing printing issues with your Brother MFCJ5845DWXL and we understand your frustration. We'll be happy to help you. Below is a FAQ with some steps to solve your issue:
I have an older Brother, MFC-6490CW, which has an 11x17 scanner too, plus better paper handling, but the ink is relatively expensive, so I haven't used it as an everyday printer. I also bought an Epson ET-4760 tank printer for my wife's office, which has the lowest ink cost, BUT it does not print with the quality of this Brother MFC-5845DW, nor the print handling, quality build or 11x17 print capability like this one. I am not sure how the ink will last and cost out, but I know it will be a lower cost than my older Brother and the quality is nice, plus it prints fast, so it is my default printer in my office now. It is not a photo printer, although the photos aren't too bad.
I have been a loyal HP printer user for years. My recent experience with their newest machines left me looking for something else. I decided to try the Brother and I'm happy I did! It's performance is good and the price was reasonable. I recommend the product.
