brother MFC-7460DN All-In-One Up to 27 ppm Monochrome Laser Printer with Networking and Duplex Printing

Pros: -Easy set up
-Fast print (compared to my inkjet)
-duplex printing
-toner save mode

Cons: It doesnt write the papers for me?

Other Thoughts: Have only had for a few weeks now and printed a little over a houndred pages and no problem. Tested the document feed with about 20 pages and sticks if you just shove them in. If you read the book that comes with it says fan the pages before you put them in to fit the rollers. It works.

Pros: Decent features at a pretty good price. Fits in nicely as a fax machine with some capability as a backup copier/printer.

Cons: The unit I got was defective. It's had problem handling paper from the first day. I had to constantly fiddle with it so that it would print. Incoming faxes got lost because the printer held it waiting for someone to fill the already filled paper tray - then it got powered off and dumped the faxes in memory.

Now it has a broken sensor inside that has convinced the unit there is a paper jam inside of it. It has stopped printing completely.

I called Brother tech support highly skeptical that it would get anything accomplished. I got a very polite, well spoken technician after answering through 60-90 seconds of automated menus.

She walked me through about 10 minutes of scripted steps -despite my assurances that I'd already tried everything she was instructing me to do. After jumping through all the hoops, she conceded and checked the warranty.

Brother is mailing me a refurbished unit to replace the defective one I got. Annoying, but Brother did make this right.

Other Thoughts: The unit was broken. Their tech support wasn't efficient, but it did get the job done at the end of the day.

I'm a big fan of Brother for their features to price ratio, but previously I've always thought of their products as toasters. Toss em when they break.

Their tech support actually earned kudos today for performing to acceptable standards. Apparently they've made progress improving what had previously been a complete waste of time when calling Brother tech support.

Pros: Print quality is great, auto duplex, network printer...

Cons: Mis-feeds paper constantly, with less than 200 pages on the unit it started jamming, now it only feeds paper thought the manual input. Printing only text the stock toner lasted 150 pages before it started screaming about needing toner...

Other Thoughts: I own a pretty successful Computer and Electronics repair business, needless to say I will not be selling Brother anything in the future.

Spend the money and buy a good printer... I had an old HP Laser MFP lasted YEARS and over 100,000 pages with little fuss. Brother's quality control leaves a lot to be desired with this machine. Cost to send this in for warranty rivals the cost of another printer.

Pros: Wired network printer. Connects to the LAN with little or no trouble, and handles standard tasks of printing and scanning via the network connection.

Cons: A couple of issues give me some regrets about buying this particular printer. The scanning software doesn't work on one of the computers, though it works on others. It scans but the PDF files are unreadable. It does work, however, if the scan is initiated via Adobe Acrobat Pro, so in the end it's fine. Multipage documents also feed automatically in this way. The bigger issue has been the envelop/manual feed. Nine times out of ten, the machine reports a paper jam whenever you insert a standard 10 envelop for printing. With some effort, we've gotten it to accept envelops after multiple attempts, but mostly we handwrite envelops now.

Other Thoughts: Nothing more to say, except FIX THE MANUAL FEEDER!

Pros: Very easy to set up and use in a wireless network for the whole house to print.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Prints fast, scans fast, size is perfect, buttons feels great, and so far no paper jam on the document feeder. Gotta love that!

Been through so many all in one printers, and this is the first one that actually got a perfect no jamming document feeder. (for now at least..)

Cons: Display is VERY low quality, can hardly see the words even with contrast at max. Backlit would help...

Cooling fan is on for a unnecessarily long time, and is rather loud. Could be annoying at times.

Other Thoughts: Couldn't figure out how to set the deep sleep time sooner, so the fan would stop quicker. Its just blowing cold air most of the time...

Pros: All in one laser printer. Got is for a promo price on newegg that was cheaper than some inkjet all in ones. Small compact form factor with east paper loading. Takes up less desk space than I expected. Auto document feed is perfect for copying and scanning. Network connection, so all PC's on my network see and can print to the printer including my Macbook air. Set up took less than 5 minutes. Duplex Printing is great. Has a deep sleep power save feature and wakes up very quickly.

Cons: No real cons. Lifting the scan bed cover you feel you might break it the first time you lift it but it is ok. Not for heavy constant use. As noted by somebody else this scanner cannot do duplex scanning or at least I can't find the option to select it. Higher end Brother models may have this feature.

Other Thoughts: Software drivers non intrusive compared to under leading manufacturer. No wifi connection however this feature is questionable anyway if you have it connected to a wireless router. Monochrome output which is perfect for economical printing. If there are any color prints go to the nearest stationary store, not worth paying the premium for a color laser scanner when you add in the cost of color toner. Toner replacement is reasonably priced.
This printer replaced another All in one Inkjet printer which constantly had dried up ink cartridges from lack of use.
Fan on printer is not too loud when printer is operating, but most laser printers are noisier than inkjets anyway. Noise is not an issue.
Very happy with this product.

Pros: Its, a laser printer, prints fast, great for school.

Cons: The printer absolutely refuses to duplex scan from the ADF. I can duplex scan from the flatbed no problem. When you put a document through the ADF it simply scans and copies the single side and does not ask for a second page. I can't find any other references to this issue so i think it may be confined to possibly corrupted firmware.

Other Thoughts: I like the printer, the fan doesn't bother me, networking is great. I wish the drivers installed over a network though.

Pros: Easy Setup, with good network conductivity. This units does it all Prints, Copies, and Fax. I have used this for about 4 months have had no pagper jambs or other issues. The borther drivers are easy to install and seem to be more stable than other drives that I have used on other laser printers

Cons: It would be nice if Brother would include a full toner catridge with the unit. It comes with one that is good for about 700 copies - But this does seem to be the way the industry is going

Other Thoughts: When idle and in power saving mode this units is silent. As it startes to print you can hear the printer including a cooling fan. This is not excessive (It is actually quieter than my HP color laser) , but if you want it silent even as it prints good luck finding any Laser printer that is

Pros: Printing and scanning work well from linux (and OSX; no windows machines in this household). Small footprint and relatively easy setup. Print quality and speed are both good.

Cons: Scanner lid feels a little flimsy. Haven't had any problems yet, though.

Other Thoughts: Haven't tried the fax yet.
