This is the second Brother printer I've purchased and once again I'm very pleased. The first is an black & white laser printer. My daughter is starting to receive Homework/projects from school where teachers are requesting they be printed out in color. Honestly I think we are at a point where a teacher can reasonably expect the kids to have access to a regular printer but expecting a color printer is kinda pushing it cause of how much more they cost....anyway back on topic.
The price isn't to bad and I have to admit the print quality is fairly decent. One of the biggest reasons to choice a Brother printer is that they don't gatekeep their toner cartridges and force you to buy first part toner. They recommend it sure but there isn't any physical or software obstacles that exist solely to force you to buy 1st part toner. You are free to buy whatever you wish, at your own risk of toner quality of course but that seems fair trade off. Setup is fairly straight forward as is connecting to the internet. My only complaint is that if you need this for use with a single computer and it'll be located fairly close to the computer you might want to connect via a usb cable for the sake of simplicity and to eliminate the lag that can occur from printing over the network. So while you "can absolutely" connect via usb to a computer you have to buy the cable separately. It doesn't come with it which I found puzzling cause lets be real the cable would cost the manufacturer like a dollar if that so there really isn't a reason not to include the cable.
In the end I'd say the next printer I buy will also likely be a Brother.

LOVE IT!! (HELPFUL REVIEW - with 1 year update)
So I just received my Brother printer and so far so good! Set-up was super easy like everyone said! Initially I saw the fold-out paper of the instructions and was like, “UH THAT’S A LOT OF STEPS” …but it actually wasn’t once I started LOL. Literally took me like 5 minutes to setup.The only thing that threw me off is when I tried to get the Remote Print setup connected. It kept saying it wouldn’t connect so I got frustrated. Turns out, it’s not supposed to connect in the app. According to the Brother’s instructions online, you actually are SUPPOSED to select “Activate Later” — and in order to print from your phone, you have to go to Settings on your printer, click Network, click Wifi-Direct (if you’re using your printer and phone wirelessly), select Manual and remember your SSID and Password. Then go to your phone’s wifi settings and select your SSID, enter the password. TADA! You can now print from your phone. So don’t be alarmed if you can’t connect the Remote Print in the Mobile Connect app, it’s not supposed to connect. Follow the steps above!I also added a video of how fast it prints! Along with the print quality for color photos. I will say, if you’re suuuuuper picky about photo quality, this one may not be for you. Though the pictures came out pretty, you can clearly see a little bit of grainy-ness in the video (I tried to zoom in with a clear shot so you can tell during the video - the only reason why I gave this printer 4 stars). But if you’re not too picky and want something that can just get the job done, get it! I’m picky with photo quality but I can definitely deal with this, it’s not that bad.I also don’t understand why the people giving bad reviews on not being able to find the Black ink didn’t just sign-up for the subscription…. I only have to pay $2.50 a month for 40 pages (you can obviously pay more for more pages, $4.50 for 80 pages, $9.99 for 200 pages, or $15.99 for 400 pages a month, and if you use more page outside of the subscription it’s an additional $1 per 10/15 pages — and the ink will auto-deliver to your home once it detects your ink is low. Put it this way: I pay $2.50 a month. I can print super colorful pictures with my 40 pages and run my ink low. They’ll ship me new ink cartridges right away. So I just got 40 pages + ink for $2.50. Get what I’m saying?). The subscription is 100% worth it. I owned an HP printer for 4 and a half years before owning this Brother printer and I was also on the HP subscription - SUPER CONVENIENT PEOPLE!!! You can easily cancel at any time, but I promise you won’t. Thank me later!! Hope my review is helpful! :)Update: Purchased on 03/24/2023, it has malfunctioned around 06/01/2024 :( keeps saying there is a paper jam, but there isn’t a paper jam. Did all of the inspection steps, looked into all of the lil tiniest of areas inside of the printer — no paper jam. System has officially given up and malfunctioned with a paper jam glitch. Luckily my printer is still within warranty, working on getting a replacement.
