- 2 out of 5 stars Architects are always on the look-out to find an all-in-one printer, scanner, copier that has an 11x17 paper option. This printer fits the bill, but buyer beware! There are many cons: No double sided printing, tedious to switch paper sizes, failure to print on most anything but standard paper, below-par photo quality, weak customer support, slow, noisy, sucks through ink quickly. The ink cartridges will be empty before you know it (they claim to be empty anyway), and you will end up spending twice what you should for replacements. Most printers like to milk their customers for ink, but Brother takes the game to a higher level. Brother "cleans" the cartridges frequently. The scan quality is excellent. The printer offers full network capabilities, though it is hard to set up correctly. It faxes. But all in all it is a weak product. I don't recommend it!
