I love how easy this printer is to setup on the WiFi network. Works great with our computers. It prints from our Android and iPhones without a problem.

So far I've had the printer for a couple of hours. Print speed is fast, and the quality of both color and black and white are great. The only problem I encountered was that every time I tried to use it, the Arc Fault breaker in my main panel would trip. As code in my area doesn't require an Arc Fault breaker for bedrooms ( I've converted a bedroom into a home office ) , I simply changed out the Arc Fault 15 amp breaker for a standard 15 amp breaker and all is good now. Works great on a standard breaker. If you are in an area that requires Arc Fault breakers for the room that you are using, just keep that in mind. For me this was a simple fix, but I understand that some people are not comfortable with changing out a circuit breaker in a main panel. As safety regulations become more stringent, it makes things like just hooking up a simple printer a chore. It doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with the printer either. The arc fault breaker just incorrectly senses that there is an arc happening during normal printer operation. It has to do with the way that acr fault breakers operate and can get a false positive on appliances like this printer. Don't be afraid to buy this printer. It's a great printer. Just keep in mind that you "may" need to plug it in at a location that doesn't have an arc fault circuit breaker.

Regardless of the print quality, echoing another reviewer, there are pecadillos in dealing with two different passwords: the printer password and your wifi password. To wit: 1) It is absolutely PREPOSTEROUS that, immediately upon upgrading the firmware, you need to change the "fancy", ostensibly random-generated printer password that is imprinted on the rear of the printer. If such a password change were required, it would have made far more sense for Brother to have shipped the printer with a password that has a generic name such as "Pwd" or "temp". Suffice to say I typed out and affixed a makeshift label, with the revised password, taping over the former password on the printer rear, and furthermore taking a picture of that with my phone for posterity (gee, where's that Brother P-touch label machine when you need one to...er..address a hiccup with another Brother product). 2) Secondly, it took me a couple of tries to type in the Wifi password onto the printer's control panel before I realized that you need to hit OK when the cursor is still hovering over the last character of the typed password. In other words, the cursor should still be highlighting (making dark) the last character at the point when you click OK (you may need to use the back arrow to ensure this happens, because if you hit OK after the cursor is already past the final character, apparently the system interprets that as a space and the password will be incorrect. It's a shame that such programming snafus prevent an otherwise fine printer from achieving an optimal rating, as ultimately the print quality should be the primary concern of a printer, and all other mundane software and programming matters should be an afterthought and not be sources of concern.

a great value. it seems to work perfectly

Update: DONT do subscription. Doesn’t work - they send ink a WEEK after it is completely gone! Crazy. The printer will constantly annoy you about not using their authentic toner - so expect to have to clear that EVERY SINGlE print job. They will charge you for every page printed - I never got toner, but they will now charge me for the 100 pages I had to print anyways 🤣. Update: Not only are they now charging me for the toner I never even received but they sent more toner - that I can't return that they insist I need to pay as a 'setup' toner fee. Incredible. The TONER DOESN"T WORK AFTER YOUR TURN OFF SUBSCRIPION _ TOTALLY DISHONEST TO SEND TONER THEY KNOW WILL NOT WORK AFTER SUBSCRIPTION.I'm guessing a bunch of "really smart" marketers think they have figured out a way to make their failed subscription service at least make money the first month.Unfortunately, those marketers will be gone by the time I need to buy another printer and I will NOT be buying from Brother after this experience.Piece of junk. I can't get a single project to print smoothly. NOT ONE.The printer after one “firmware” update will no longer print from my computer. Only from a mobile phone!! Not the point….it is truly annoying.I did a TON of research before purchasing this printer. I mean Amazon reviews but also bloggers, wirecutter, Reddit, talked to people etc etc - I have been putting this order off for months. It seems like no printer on the market works anymore based on reviews here. Some require subscriptions?! For Apple users who needed color and didn’t want to deal with clogging of an ink jet printer if I didn’t use it daily (and all the cleaning required), this model kept coming up on top of lists. So I gave it a shot.What is okay:1) does not require a subscription (but it is offered DO NOT DO IT NOT EVEN FOR A WEEK WILL COST YOU $600 and you can't even use the toner!!).2) Print setup easy at first (just won’t work a month later).3) Touch screen works - but keyboard on this little screen is too small to enter password so I used my Apple Pencil and it worked.4) color printing looks fine - definitely not accurate color though if you care. Streaks all over after 2 prints - sucky drums5) quickly got onto WiFi6) love the flat paper tray to preload stack of paper and easy sliders to load different sizes. I was sick of my HP paper loading system that always required nudging. This is a huge upgrade to my printing life. No babysitting! (But honestly, this type of thing is 20 year old "upgrade" so not exactly ground breaking here, the fact that all printers don't do this by now is just showing how bad this industry really is)Note: I’m not printing pictures. I’m an author illustrator and so while I use heavy color, I’m not looking for photo quality and can’t speak to that. But I can’t imagine it could possibly do photos accurately based on paper prints I do.All in all I’ll try to limp through using it 300-400 pages a month off my phone. Hoping maybe another update will come through and fix this issue but for now, USB print doesn’t work and neither does computer.Again, do not do the subscription. Brother is diluting itself if it thinks that is good service. Waiting until something is out- which means the printer is 100% down and will not print even black and white until the required color toner is installed - and they ship slow 5day UPS ground so you are without a printer for a week MINIMUM is a total joke. I don’t get who that could possibly work for…I think this is a scam - people sign up for one month, pay $600 and get scammed.
