Cons: Supplied Scan/Print software

The Bottom Line: Superb print quality

Pros: Copy, scan, fax, print conveniently; low cost printer cartridges; good price

Review: Time for a new printer I had been using a HP Deskjet photo printer (Deskjet 790c) for the last 5 years, and it recently started making an ugly grinding sound, so I figured it was time to second hand it to the kids and buy myself a new printer. I ...

Pros: Network printing, scanning, and faxing at a reasonable price with separate cartridges for each color.

Cons: Paper jams, some mediocre paper feed issues, 4x6 tray is not useful.

The Bottom Line: Great secondary printer, only OK as a primary printer. I don't regret getting it and would recommend it to someone who needs a scanner to be shared with multiple computers.

Review: Given that I have a Samsung laser that I use for everyday printouts, I needed something to do color. Also, I was sick of having to photocopy materials for work so I decided to get a unit that has a scanner with a document feeder. After a little ...

Pros: The ease of scanning, printing, faxing and copying.

Cons: The not being able to use the machine if one ink is empty.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this machine because it is easy to use, and it possesses so many functions.

Review: I enjoy Brother products. I have a typewriter from this company that is almost twenty years old and still works perfectly. I have used other printers before--Lexmark, Hewlett-Packard and Canon--but I have not enjoyed them as much as I enjoy this ...

Pros: Versatile, good overall performance

Cons: No handset to allow out of the box use as second phone, expensive ink replacement

The Bottom Line: An excellent combination unit. More precise output should be performed on dedicated units.

Review: In hindsight, I was crazy to buy another Brother product. The Brother MFC 440CN was purchased, in haste, as a replacement for a now deceased Brother Intellifax Printer/Fax machine. The Intellifax 1828C was horrible right out of the box, so I must ...

Pros: Easy to use.  Love the fax.

Cons: Ink prices.  Printing quality. 

The Bottom Line: Love the fax...not too impressed with printing quality or ink prices. 

Review: I bought my Brother Multi-Function Center 440CN a couple of years ago.  It is the only piece of computer equipment I have that survived the moisture of Hurricane Ike which hit us hard with an 18’ surge four months ago.  That ...

Pros: For the Price print quality ok, and You get copier and scanner

Cons: Cant print Black if any color ink is low, Ink Cost is High

The Bottom Line: I wont recommend this machine based on the ink issue that stops all printing, and cost of ink for this model

Review: Im used to using HP printing devices but this printer was a gift.It has good print quality for its price range but the operation of the controls on the front panel are not very user friendly. Its not going to set a speed record either, however for the ...

Pros: Good scanner, copies OK.

Cons: Slow, slow and quality of prints just so so.

Review: I bought this printer on the recommendation of the OfficeMax salesman a week ago. It is very slow, printing 3 pages in 2 minutes, I am taking it back ...

Pros: Style, size, and multi-functional

Cons: Paper loading problems, poor quality of picture printouts

Review: I like the style of the printer, but the quality of the pictures didn't come out very well for me. ...

Pros: Small compact design with lots of features. Looks nice

Cons: Frustrating to use. Cheats you with unnecessary ink consumption.

The Bottom Line: I would go with Lexmark. HP has bad customer service and shaky products at the bottom end in my experience.

Review: Worked good at first but then got some nasty surprises. Network functionality died after about a month and had the revert back to USB. I do computer consulting and repairs for a living, and I could not get it working again using the network connection. ...
