Summary: Brother MFC 5840
Comment: I have had this machine for other a month now & I really love it. It was easy to install over my LAN. It has so many features and for a terrific price (what it is priced now, is even less than what I paid).
I did a lot of research before I bought this device. I have owned Brother devices before and many others. I love the low cost of printer cartidges for this device, especially since I print a lot of digital photos. The print quality is excellent! Having two paper trays is very nice, I enjoy keeping my photo paper in one and regular paper in the other. You can also check the print volumes on the MFC directly, which is very convenient.
I also use the scanning feature a lot. There are many options to choose from when scanning. Having an ADF which can scan both letter and legal is very helpful. The PaperPort program that it comes with is great too for organizing and viewing your scanned documents.
I have also found that you can scan thru the ADF and print at the same time. I found it really amazing how much having memory in the printer helps my pc performance. Even when I have it printing and scanning I can still run programs at the same time on my pc with little performance loss. When I used to print with my Epson, I couldn't do anything else until it had near completed the print job.
I have yet to use the card reader, because I have another and I also haven't hooked up the fax yet. Those parts are nice to have in case I need them.

Summary: Perfect all-in-one for a Mac
Comment: I've had terrible luck with most all-in-one's that say they're Mac compatible. The software never really gives you everything you get on a PC. Brother's solution really is a truly mac-native system and it works like a charm. Printing is fast - even over a wireless network, which was a breeze to set up with the built-in networking feature. Scanning was crisp and clear. Faxing is a breeze. And the included memory card reader is spot on. I highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for an all-in-one solution.
