Love this printer
I was going to return this printer, as I had read the reviews, and thought it wasn’t what I wanted. I decided to go ahead and set it up, just in case I might like it. Frankly, I love it. Print quality is excellent, scanner works great, it was easy to set up too. I’m not returning it now.

Brother Printer that can print 11 x 17 paper.
I have been printing copies since I bought this and so far it has performed well. I did try to print in grayscale but it came out in color. Not sure how this happened as I did go into properties and click on the right info. I ordered this specifically because it prints 11 x 17 paper which I use a lot for projects. So far so good. Hope it continues to perform well.

printer
This thing sucks paper keeps getting jammed up in it. Thae paper was printing crooked for a while. Had to throw one away, paper got jammed, when taking out some got stuck, I guess, and could not get the printer back so I could print, finally threw it away and bought another one which keeps having problems with paper jamming. Very unhappy with it

This unit does not scan from the ADF for larger documents. The flat bed scanner is all that scans
Spent two days researching a unit that I can print 11″x17″ as well as scan 11″x17″
I thought I had found it but I was wrong. The support site mentions turning off auto correction but that setting is not part of the software package that you can download for this device. 3 hours of troubleshooting and I threw in the towel.

A good buy for home office set up
This printer is a great value for your money.
Working from home from time to time as a legal / conveyancer, this printer is perfect for all my needs.
Downloading the available apps allows you to do many things that a normal printer cannot do. Plus you get loads of ink with this model of printer. I do not have to keep replacing the ink cartridges every month or so due to the large amount of printing my job requires.
Would definitely purchase another model like this in the future.

Solid Quality Printer - ---
Initial out-of-the-box…. Great. Solid and well packed. Brother Utilities a bit of a PAIN… Had to reboot multiple times… load. reboot… but worked out OK, except for NOT being able to use PaperPort! I will connect with support to solve.

Sweet printer low cost ink
Need up to 11×17 prints that are good? Get this. The software is improving bit by bit. But easily the best all in one I’ve ever had.

HUGE INK PROBLEM!!!
I started a small printing company and bought a brother 5855. It worked well so I decided to purchase a second printer to use as a backup. This was the only one being offered on installments. I should have realized right there that something was amiss but thinking it would work just like the 5855 I decided to purchase. Boy was I wrong!!!
1. The ink cartridges (402) are smaller than the 406 used in the 5855.
2. Runs out of ink extremely quickly!!!
3. The printer has a permanent memory that records every cartridge you put in.
4. This means you cannot reuse a cartridge even if you refill it or swap it out with another one first.
5. You cannot buy cartridges in bulk and stock since they carry a batch code and the printer will not recognize a new cartridge if it carries the same code as the old one.
6. You have to wait until Brother or whoever came up with this rubbish to decide to manufacture another batch of cartridges with a different code in order to purchase and again you run into problems 3 through 5.
7. Looked at ALL the reviews available before purchasing and no one had mentioned the ink problem.
8. What good is a printer if you cannot print???
WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Fast printing. Difficult to set up.
Printer is very fast and so far seems to print and scan well.
Set up was difficult and took a LONG time. Brother web site seems very slow to respond. Brother software is slow to open. Disappointed this printer does not use the latest “one year of ink in the box” ink tanks, but more expensive ink.

Waste of money for Ledger Printing/Scanning
I only purchased this printer for ledger sized work and it is not at all capable of scanning or copying ledger sized docs. Waste of money, I missed the return window.

Can't get it to work with USB connection
The setup on this Brother MFC-J534W was horrible. I can’t get it to work reliably via USB or via the new, and useless, WiFi. My Lord, how can a printer not work via a short USB cable? Inconceivable! And yes, I’ve switched USB cables; that ain’t it! I’ve been a PC user since 1988, and the hours I’ve spent trying to get it to function are irretrievable and a waste of my time. Again, the setup software is bizarre and unworkable. Avoid this unit. My first ledger size Brother was a workhorse, it set up simply, and lasted for years. This one is a big disappointment. The only thing it will do right now is scan and copy.

You will be glad you chose this printer.
This is the best printer I have ever purchased. It has passed all of my expectation and then some. Copies are made before you can blink an eye. I’ve never set up a multi tasking machine like this one and it to be so easy. The instructions are easy to for step to step installation. I got a great price on it. Love all the bells and whistles.

what good is a printer when the letters are faded
the features are nice on this printer But the print quality is poor . the ink on the the paper appears to be faded as if one is about to run out of ink. changed the dpi to 600 and that didn’t do much. if you don’t care about the print quality its a great machine! the color is fine but the grey scale is bad.

super happy with this printer!
The fact it will auto-scan was about all I needed to be thrilled, my last all-in-one had to be done one by one, but everything has been superb. I’ve had low usage for about a month and still am on the supplied ink. It prints a little slow for a full page color photo but that is not what I need so I don’t consider it a ‘con’.
I researched many all-in-ones at this price range and below and the only ‘con’ I could say about this is it is a little big. Bit it also appears to be quite the workhorse. If you purchase, enjoy!
