Pros: Fast, very reasonably priced B&W multifunction printer/fax/copier/scanner [with scanning in color] Cons: Horrid user interface requiring unnecessary convolutions to reset scanning settings The Bottom Line: Don't buy it until Brother produces more user friendly control software, unless you use it as a wireless printer only, not for its wireless multifunction capability? Review: I purchased this wireless printer to make one printer available to everyone on my whole-house Mac-based network. from Shopping.com I love this printer, but had issues with the toner running out so quickly. The replacement cartridge started giving me "Low Toner" messages after 800 pages. from Amazon.com This is the 2nd Brother MFC we have purchased and we have not had any problems. Very good system. from Amazon.com Setup was easy except to get the scanner to work. I have Windows XP and could not get the scanner to work, despite going to the website and scouring it for information. from Amazon.com Pros: Fast, wireless AND 10/100 wired AND USB!!!!, a real workhorse, able to use 3rd party toner and drum cartridges, no hassle faxes and copies, high quality scans, reliable, nice panel layout....the list just goes on and on!!!!!Oh and VERY AFFORDABLE!!! Cons: If I wanted to gripe and demand perfection - the only thing I could possibly want to see improved is larger paper capacity. from Newegg.com Pros: Well constructed, easy to use, does exactly what it's supposed to do. Has lots of really handy features as a network/wireless printer. from Newegg.com The Brothers Multipurpose mfc-7840w is a pain in the neck to set up with ones router. they give way too much info. from Amazon.com Pros: Good quality printer, the wireless is NICE, I like the auto document feeder - great flexibility in drivers! either just the print driver, or the whole suite, or any other piece of the software. from Newegg.com I purchased this wireless printer to make one printer available to everyone on my whole-house Mac-based network. The wireless setup was near-automatic [as usual on a Mac] and the printer works fine from all network stations. from Amazon.com Pros: Purchased this printer specifically for its Wi-Fi capabilities. The setup/use of that feature is very straight-forward and well instructed. from Newegg.com
