I bought this as much for the scanning function as for the printing. Having lived without a working printer for several months, I've realised I'm not QUITE able to be printer-free. So this Brother unit ticks all the relevant boxes: It was reasonably-priced, delivers perfectly acceptable print quality, and was VERY easy to setup.
That last is to trivial. The hassle of typing in a strong wifi password generated by Bitwarden (a good password manager), was the one part of the setup process I was dreading, but the decent sized screen on this unit made it much less painful and time-consuming than I feared.

It's also much quieter than the 6-7 year old Canon whose demise necessitated this purchase.
It's hard to wax lyrical in rapt joy about a soho printer, but if you need one, you need one, and this Brother is a very worthwhile candidate for consideration.
Printer is Good. Maintain is expensive Printer is Good. Maintain is expensive
I just bought this printer and so far am thrilled with it. I am a home user who uses a ream of paper every 2-3-4 months. Love the auto paper feeder, what a luxury . i previously had a cheap HP printer (<$50) where the ink cartridges cost more than the printer itself and ink consumption was high.(they sell the printer as a loss leader and then make their money on the ink) So i was willing to pay a bit more for better overall value and the fact this printer offered an auto paper feeder was a rare feature at this price point.

I just bought this printer and so far am thrilled with it. I am a home user who uses a ream of paper every 2-3-4 months. Love the auto paper feeder, what a luxury . i previously had a cheap HP printer (<$50) where the ink cartridges cost more than the printer itself and ink consumption was high.(they sell the printer as a loss leader and then make their money on the ink) So i was willing to pay a bit more for better overall value and the fact this printer offered an auto paper feeder was a rare feature at this price point. The scanning offers lots of options including file types and sizes (ie can compress to low MBs) so you don't end up with a big MB Word document that is too big to email . Print quality is excellent.and it is fast.
Installation for the wifi connection was pretty easy, i used an old USB / printer cable.
(from my dead HP printer) temporarily to allow the printer to talk to my laptop during the setup , the instructions tell you what to do. The USB port on the printer is way underneath the various top layers of the printer so gently lift up the cover, then the glass., eventually you'll get inside the printer and see the USB port.
HOWEVER, BE FORWARNED if selecting the wifi option.... the laptop-modem (router)-printer wifi connection was easily established, which allowed the printer to actually print & scan, and i thought woweeee! My joy was short-lived however because it knocked out my modem-to- internet connection so i had no internet for 5 days. I had to troubleshoot with my ISP and Chorus (fibre box provider in AK) to resolve which was very painful and slow. Turns out my setup needed a WAN cable to connect my modem to the Chorus box connection. Fortunately the orange ethernet cable that comes with the printer is a WAN cable so that solved the issue. The Quick Set Up Guide does not mention anything about needing a WAN cable connection to allow your modem to talk to the internet.
Another factoid i learned n the process is that your wifi modem SSID must use a 2.4 GHz band.The printer does not support a 5 GHZ SSID. So you must ensure your modem is set to 2.4GHz or have 2.4GHz/5GHz mixed mode.
Finally , if you do the wifi connection, make sure you change the printer's password from the default password to prevent unauthorised access to the printer. (This should be done for any device that uses wifi connectivity). There is a separate sheet in the box that mentions this very important step.
one last tip would be to download the user manual off the internet BEFORE you start any setup. in my case, my internet connection got stuffed so i couldn't go online to look at the user manual for any hints of what could be wrong.
I have not yet tried to connect my smart phone to the printer nor I have i set up the fax.
Super fast start up, good light weight to carry and perfect to set up with an extra portable screen. Highly recommended. Super fast start up, good light weight to carry and perfect to set up with an extra portable screen. Highly recommended.

Set up was pretty easy. Just did some scanning which was no problem, once I figured out which the documents went in the feeder. Prints really well. Great bargain. Set up was pretty easy.
