Brother MFC-665CW Printer

 

Carrying a price tag of $200 (as of 10/25/2006), the Brother MFC-665CW is packed full of features for a small or home office. It offers a color fax, an answering machine, media slots, and wireless networking. The fax sends and receives at only 14.4...

Built-in Wi-Fi ; ADF ; Fax and answering machine

Very slow printing ; Slow fax speed of 14.4 kbps

If you're hunting for a space-saving unit that can serve multiple purposes in your home office or small business, the Brother MFC-665CW is worth a closer look. Despite its slow performance, it offers many functions at an affordable price

Paper Jam

 

I bought the Brother all in one printer from a local office store. Finally the end came for this printer when the paper got jammed once again, but this time so bad that it damaged the printer heads. This printer lasted for about one year. This was a...

Every other paper fed jams

was great for 6months...

 

All In One features, who doesn't like that..when they work...was okay for six months

I'm very disappointed in my purchase. I bought this printer thinking it was going to be a decent purchase based on the reviews and yes quite a few bucks more than just a printer but i thought that would remove me of the hassle of dealing with something...

Great Printer but False PPM

 

I think this is a nice printer, but there is one thing that really enrages me. The materials state that this printer prints up to 30 ppm black and 25 color. THIS IS A BLATANT LIE. The way they get away with this is that there is a "draft" mode that...

Good Price, Brother quality, Does what it says

Slow, bad USB cord placement, tends to jam with labels

Great Printer for Small Office

 

love it,

Great Multifunction Printer for the price for small office, I'm very impressed! Make sure you set the network IP manually to avoid issues. It's in the book how to set it manually

Nice little Multi Function

 

Maybe If they added double paper trays... it would be perfect.

Nicest little inkjet multifunction I've seen for the money. Drivers work, accessory software works, the network works ; Heck, the whole thing just works. Happy users

I guess the output 'tray' could be bigger... but I think that is not really a 'fit' with the intended use of this printer ; Big document runs should have laser rather than inkjet technology anyway. Unless you own an ink factory or shares of Brother stock

MFC-5860CN COLOR FLATBED MFC 6 IN 1 NETWORKABLE PHOTOCAPTURE

 

All together this machine is good for our use being able to store incoming faxes on the PC and allowing indepentent use of feed trays. Absolutely No HP machine could do both of these and I bought and returned several after being told they could. I am...

1. can recieve and store faxes on PC 2. can use two feed trays independently

1. cannot easily print on two sides of paper 2. often paper jams or pulls more than 1 sheet to print on

Brother MFC series MFC-5860CN Up to 30 ppm 6000 x 1200 dpi InkJet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer

 

Would definitely buy this again. I've also recommended it to several people.

AWESOME all-in-one color networked fax printer scanner ; This little all-in-one has functions which are only on higher-end more expensive office copier/fax/scanner machines ; It has a built-in card reader which can be mapped from workstations on the...

Printing photos ... so-so quality ... not bad, but definitely not as good as one coming from a Canon photo printer ; Lack of a manual feed tray, which makes it a pain when you want to print or copy something onto the back of a page. You have pull out...

MFC-5860CN COLOR FLATBED MFC 6 IN 1 NETWORKABLE PHOTOCAPTURE

 

My two previous multi function units were HPs, but I was never happy with them. This Brother MFC is head and shoulder above the HP units. It is easy to use and quick to set up. I like the seperate ink cartrages for each color. It saves so much money in...

Easy to set up. Seperate color ink. Software is quick and simple
