    • Seems like a good home-use choice
Style: MFCJ1205W Pattern Name: New
This inexpensive print/copy/scan printer is for our low-volume home use, replacing a similar-level HP printer. The HP has been very frustrating, performing extremely sluggishly, and in one in every three attempted prints it has to be unplugged/replugged to restart it and reconnect with the home wifi network. The Brother installs easily in less than an hour to unbox, set up, fully connect, download/update all the software, and create an account and register. It is not fast (a typical color page might take seconds), but it starts printing promptly, the quality is good, and it has not dropped connection. It is immediately visible and usable by the Windows and Android devices on our home network. The plastic tray and page catcher are flimsy, but this seems to be the norm these days. The control buttons and the accompanying software are simple and clear. The ink cartridges claim to last a long time - and for our volume of printing does not warrant the automatic ink replenishment service that we found so unnecessarily expensive with the HP machine. The Brother has no two-sided printing, but for us this is rarely an issue. So at this point it looks like a good, simple, cost-effective choice for us, if it proves reliable over time. ... show more

    • Dubious
Style: MFCJ1205W Pattern Name: New
I was worried about the software not being designed for the printer. The software that is downloaded to pc says to press the wireless button, but there isn't any wireless button. I searched on google for the wireless button for that model and google suggests there isn't one. The cell app similarly says I must press the wireless button, but there isn't any button that says wireless on the printer. Youtube says to download the app, and press the 'stop' button so the printer shows on the cell app. But the cell app finds out what my printer model is, and won't let me proceed unless I press the wireless button. The app forces me to lie about pressing the wireless button to proceed. I was later able to find the wireless button. The wireless icon on the button was the same color as the button, and was quite difficult to see. The software then worked. Under a month after purchase, my wireless router randomly switched the passwords, disconnecting all my gadgets, and costing my many hours on tech support resetting everything, likely for the 3rd instance of my AT&T router resetting all the passwords and costing me many hours on tech support with other organizations whos gadgets no longer worked. My Brother printer stopped working because the AT&T router was entitled to switch the passwords about to mysterious passwords. I could not reset the wireless information on the brother printer using any guides on google or in other searches. When I tried to contact Brother, the brother-usa.com website didn't actually have any way to reach anyone. The contact us button confirmed that there was chat and phone, but no buttons were obvious that were the actual chat or phone. Google listed a mysterious phone number. Position in Que: 25 Estimated Wait Time: 19 minutes ------ ------ On 2-5-23 I located a file associated with a Brother printer I bought on Amazon, and was able to erase part of the file, and this allowed my wireless internet to work decently for the first time since a 7pm 2-3-23 crash of my internet that I reported to IC3. But, the Brother files keep re-appearing, and are associated with wireless traffic that I cannot control. I had returned the Brother printer quickly, a few days ago, after I noted that their customer service was not available, and after the printer could not sync with my wireless in numerous days of attempts. "Software update notification" was impossible to uninstall despite returning the printer. It was associated with a cantonese or japanese script error message during a force deletion of some of the files in the folder. My google maps suddenly started working, slightly, at more locations, with the Brother file partially removed. But on 2-5-23 a 4:15 pm, I was again not 'allowed' to use internet, a common effect for me as a disabled person, where in I am targeted first in cyber crimes for being disabled. I was able to force close Steam, and the wireless was working again. But at 7:00 pm on the 5th, the wireless was again not working, with no access to websites, or IC3, and I was able to get it working by erasing another Brother file, in programfiles(x86)/Browny02. Again, I was not allowed to erase the file completely. But, deleting the componants that I was allowed to delete did then mean I was allowed to use the internet despite being disabled. ... show more

    • Great printer. Setup is not so great
Style: MFCJ1205W Pattern Name: New
I can only give it four stars because the setup was a mess. I did get it working, but it was so not intuitive. I spent a career as a computer professional, and many years doing desktop support. I'm not exactly a novice. I was installing on a MAC and sometimes the support for MACs just isn't stellar. Sometimes I was flying by the seat of my pants with years of experience. I did, however, get it working :). The quick guide is kinda sparse. Too sparse. It says "now install the ink cartridges" which is mostly intuitive only they did not tell me if I needed to remove the tape from the cartridge first. I did and I still don't know If it was what I was supposed to do. And no clue how to turn the thing off ... really, nothing in the instructions on how to turn it off. I printed a test page of something that has intensive colors and detailed graphics (a geological thin section in XP view). It took FOREVER to print, but I guess that is ok. It was really color intensive. I hid under the table half the time looking for the X-wing fighters. It seriously sounded like a full on Star Wars assault on the battle star. Pew, Pew, Pew ... no kidding. I'm ok with that, just thought it was interesting. I was amused. Having said all that I'd probably buy it again. My comments are 1) hey, it's a 99 dollar color printer. I can do without the multi-function stuff as I have other devices. It will meet my needs. I don't need fast, I just need reasonable color resolution, 2) It was cheap :) If you are considering this (or any other color inkjet for laser) for your primary printer - just don't do it. That is a bit of free professional advice. The consumables will break the bank. You just can't feed a color printer of any description as a primary printer and come ahead. It will eat your pocketbook. And it's slow as molasses. 3) read carefully before you buy. Way too many companies now want to snag you into that subscription thing. You have got pay them to keep the thing working. Great business model for them, not so great for you. And don't buy a service agreement ..... serious money maker for companies. If it works out of the box, it will likely work for years. That goes for cars as well, but that is another story for another time 5) Brother is a great company and makes great printers as does Canon. You get a lot of bang for your buck for ninety-nine bucks. Just don't buy it as your only printer. OK, off my soapbox. Sorry for the rant. Chose wisely. ... show more
