Great Printer Excellent Value
Pros: Very fast print speed auto document feeder quiet works great with Mac OSX Leopard Vista compatible separate (and cost effective) drum and toner cartridges low price.
Cons: None especially at this price.
I have this printer connected to my Apple Airport Extreme Gigabit base station and it works like a charm for printing from all of my Windows and Mac machines. Brother has made it extremely easy to install the drivers (and they've even already updated themselves on the Mac) so the entire setup was under 5 minutes. I love the fact that I can also use this printer as a standalone photocopier--and cheaply since it's a laser printer. Of course network scanning would be a plus but that's not the printer's fault. If I need to scan docs or pictures (rarely would I) then I can just connect it directly to my Mac and use it from there. But 99.9% of the time I just print documents over the network and make photocopies. Great printer!
