Summary: Great printer with excellent TCO compared to ink jet
Comment: I purchased this printer for my home office after giving consideration to other b/w laser printers as well as color laser printers and color ink jet printers. After realizing that 1 (~$60) toner cartridge will print over 2000 pages and that this printer included a starter cartridge that will print 1500 pages, I gave further thought to my need for color printouts vs. lots of b/w printouts. b/w won and the low cost replacement toner was a winner as well. Print quality is what would be expected from a laser printer. speed is impressive (relative to other laser printers I have used and ink jet printers I have owned). The scanner capability works great as well as the scanner software included with the printer. Setup was simple and I was able to connect all 3 pcs in my ofc via my wireless router without any difficulty. I haven't used the fax capability yet, although I was able to set it up and test it w/o difficulty either. The doc feeder is a winner also...feeds docs straight, quickly and without jamming (what else can you ask for?).

Summary: Brother MFC-7820N 5-in-1 Printer Review
Comment: I recently purchased this printer from Amazon for use with my Mac laptop. The product works almost exactly as described, which is why I would give 5 stars. The network printing is a snap and the quality is great. The other features such as copying, faxing, and scanning also work well. I love the fact that the printer can be configured either with a static IP address or use DHCP and make itself known to other computers via the Rendezvous protocol. This is how I configured the printer on my Mac - such a breeze!

However, the software bundled with the printer is not as stellar. The network scan button on the printer doesn't always work properly and displays an error message of 'no cable'. This is purely due to the software bundled with the printer. Another downside is the OCR software bundled with the printer is absolutely antiquated. It would almost be better for them not to include that piece of software. It's not very functional especially with Mac OS X 10.5. Besides that the product works great, which is why I'm giving a total of 4 stars.

Summary: Not so sure
Comment: I've purchased this item and expected more. It really disappoints. If you want an effective multifunction machine, this is not it.

Summary: So very easy.......
Comment: Great Amazon service - as usual. This printer/scanner/fax is excellent, quiet and prints out crisp and clear copies. Still playing with it to see all that it can do.
