Summary: Nice, effective printer if you have the space
Comment: The Brother CN2700 has some nice features, particularly its network capability. I have it set up on my wireless home network so all 3 computers can print on it from anywhere in the house. Installation was a breeze, both with a direct USB cable and via network. Print quality is very good, and this printer's strength is in low-cost color web graphics/line art. DO NOT purchase the printer for photos....the manual states that you CANNOT use glossy paper. Photographic print quality is decent, but NOT worthy of hanging on a wall. For that, buy a decent injet printer. The printer is loud with a fan and clunking noises upon startup, but shortly goes into standby mode and is perfectly quiet. Printing is quite loud, but impressively quick. The toner cartridges are very expensive, but notice that they give you twice as many pages as the competitions' cartridges. They are half full in a new printer and should therefore last for over 3000 pages. This printer is LARGE, so don't forget to look at the dimensions. It is quite a bit larger than my laser multi-function machine. It is also tremendously heavy at 70lbs. Overall a good buy, but make sure you have a large spot to put it. 4 stars because of supply cost...over $600 to replace all 4 toners when the time comes!

Comment: I ordered this aparently when amazon.com made a mistake on the price. They refused to honor it inspite of receiving payment. I had plans for this printer so now I'm not too comfortable ordeing from amazon.

Comment: This printer is the best in the world. It print pictures 5.1 digital on the whole paper. It make it look real. I hate that you have to buy your own printer cause it come seperate with a computer.

Summary: Love My Printer!!!
Comment: I did some research and felt that the Brother offered better value than the HP color laserjets. The toner seems quite expensive, but it comes with toner about half-full.
The printer is very heavy, but once I got it out of the box, the step-by-step directions to remove the protective packaging were exquisitely easy to understand. (I am gratified that a company took the effort to really make directions logical and easily understood!)
Installing the software was SIMPLE and I was up and running on my home wireless network very quickly.
It spits out full-color as fast as a copy machine spits out paper. The quality is great for powerpoint slides, but not terrific for photographs.
No more telling my kids they can't print their computer art because the inkjet takes 10 minutes -- we print a lot now! It does take one or two minutes to warm up from sleep mode.
I have read reviews complaining that it is noisy when it comes out of sleep mode -- this is true, although since I have a basement home office it's not an issue for me.
