Brother DCP-J515W

 

So far we have found it very easy and intuirive to use, text quality is almost on a par with our l;aser printer. Photo printing is quite good and ink is dupposed to be reasonably priced

The cpmtrol Center software why is iy neccessary to intall it to start up it only slows windows even more.
