3.0 out of 5 stars works great, but has ink problems, March 16, 2008

I bought this all-in-one from costco's website. It was a great copier and fax, which was my main concern. I had it about six months before I started having ink problems. I kept getting ink errors, like "no Cartridge" even when I had all 4 in there. I called Brother to fix the problem and they told me the black ink cartridge was defective. So I asked them to replace it, and they told me since it had been over 6 mo. it was my problem. I bought another cartridge (not cheap) to replace the defective full black cartridge. I replaced the cartridge and then it told me the blue cartridge was defective, full but defective. So i wasted two full ink cartridges on an error that did not go away. I also found out that the colored ink cartridges cycle, and use ink even if you use the machine for b&w only. Thank goodness for costco's return policy, because I was not stuck with the defective machine. Now I am looking for another one to replace it.

Don't waste your money on anything with the Brother name on it. I owned one of the MFC's several years ago and had several issues with ink before I finally spent the ink money on another printer.

A year or so ago I bought this machine to use strictly as a fax, lo and behold, same issues just several years later. Brother has an ink racket going on and you're better off spending your money on a Wal Mart house brand.

1.0 out of 5 stars don't waste your money, February 2, 2008

If you want a printer that makes sense, this is not the printer for you. This printer requires 4 different cartriges and it won't print unless all of them are full of ink. Each cartridge costs about 15.00 and the ink doesn't last that long and they cannot be refilled at the store. My husband I have set our computer to only print out in black ink and for some reason it used up all the other colors... So, now in less than 5 months were supposed to go out to the store and purchase another $60.00 for ink. That's ridiculus, were just going to get another printer. The printer prints when it wants to, we have to keep messing with the printer just to get it to print. I think I'll stick with an HP
