The Brother MFC9840CDW has poor quality printing, will not properly print Avery labels and requires access to the rear to change a setting for printing envelopes...a major inconvenience. Brother will not do anything about a defective design and/or manufacture. from Amazon.com This is a great multifunction document machine . The price is right. from Amazon.com Pros: The business transaction with newegg.com was excellent. Order placement was easy, the Brother MFC-9840CDW was promptly shipped and arrived in excellent condition on time as predicted. I heartily recommend newegg.com. from Newegg.com It has seemed that HP has always treated macs as a second rate platform with their drivers and all. The Canon printers have always made great prints but did not have quite the seamless integration with my Mac. The Brother MFC-9840CDW with the wifi works seamless with my Mac. This is a good printer for Macs. from Amazon.com One major design flaw you should know about is that the MFC-9840CDW will not print in black and white once a color cartridge has run out of toner. Customer Service told me it will print in black and white until the unit is powered off or you open the door - after that you will have to go buy new color cartridges before you can print again. from Amazon.com I just purchased a second Brother MFC-9840cdw multifunction for my small office. For years, I have been a fan of HP printer products, and had used them almost exclusively. from Buy.com I bought the Brother MFC-9840cdw laser printer for its duplex printing and color capabilities, and also because I read that it works both in the PC and Mac platforms. I have an IMac, but I have Parellels Desktop 3.0 for Mac installed so I can run Windows XP and all the usual business applications (Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access,...). from Amazon.com Procrastinated for almost a year about which multi-function laser center I wanted. After a year of watching and reading all of the reviews out on the net, I cemented my opinion about the Brother MFC-9840CDW. Amazon repeatedly offered the best buy, so I ordered it. from Amazon.com So far, I am impressed with the Brother MFC-9840cdw; however, when copying some documents, the color copies were a different shade or hue than the originals. Also, when I asked a salesman here that sold the same Brother MFC about how often we'd have to replace the drum, he advised me that the drums were good for at least 30,000 pages. from Amazon.com After owning an HP color laser printer that didn't even have 50,000 pages printed and the multiple service calls--I gave the order--NO MORE HP PRINTERS! Our Sharp b&w laser multi-functions were working fine but we wanted to try a color laser multi-function to save space in our offices. from Buy.com
