Basically if you need a good scanner you probably still want to buy one. Although, if you spend less than $100 on a non CCD scanner you probably won't get anything better.
I took a stack of documents to local stores and tried probably 10 different laser copier/printer/scanner machines made by HP, Canon, Sharp, Xerox, Samsung, etc. HP's and Canon's were a little better in photo print quality, but Canon only has 2MB of non-expandable printer memory (even though up to 8MB can be used for copying). HP copied at a rate of about 2-3 pages per minute (no joke!) unless you wanted to rip off 20 copies of a single page.
Brother had the most solid machine and it actually even copies different sheets pretty close to the rate claimed. HP's had broken paper trays at most stores and Canon's seamed to always have paper jams. Samsung's were similar to Brother but they looked old and the toners were all used up at all but one of the places I went to.
I don't have anything bad to say about my Brother other than the scanner isn't great for making scans of photos. The scanner is lightning fast though for OCR type grayscale scanning.

I have 2, one at work, one for home, I use mine daily. Mechanically and software-wise, it just works well and does everything I need. I don't use any of the integrated MS Office software tools, but I haven't needed them. I never use it to manually type a label, always hooked to the PC.
I have a Brother Label Thing and I just hate trying to format and type on the little keyboard, I get 1 usable label for every 3 I print. The PC interface is a must...
I set the default size in the software to 3.5" and every project, piece of reference material, etc. gets a folder with a nice label. It's on my home network so the wife an I both use ours to label everything.
It's really helped me keep up with implementing GTD, David Allen's right, a nice label makes everything work better. And having an always on, always ready printer available from any PC in the house means I don't have a good reason not to just create the labels and folders as needed, no waiting... Label, folder, file, done!
It makes me happy.

VERY FAST PRINTOUTS! Bought for Page per min (PPM) and the individual ink carts (which are each reasonably priced when compared to lexmark, etc.) You either pay now or pay through the ink.

The photo looks like the original Brother TN-250 toner cartridge. But the ones I received do not have the same color cap (black instead of pink) and they are not actual Brother cartridges which have been cleaned and refilled. The cartridge is thinner and not as sturdy. But the biggest difference is that it does not fit easily into the Brother drum ---- I had to forcefully push on it to get it to fit in place. I am afraid that by saving a few dollars on replacement toner, I may be causing stress and eventual damage to the much more expensive drum unit. Also, the printed page does not look as dark as with the Brother toner. Next time I will not look for a cheap knock-off.

This product is great. I accidentally found this product while browsing for SpongeBob Square Pants MP3 Player with video which I had previously purchased for $15. This product is great for kids especially if you want to buy a inexpensive gift for Kids. Easy to use and has an SD Card expansion slot if you feel 1GB is too less. The clarity of music and videos is not bad for the price. We have to convert videos to WMV9 which can done effortlessly since lot of freeware is available on the net.Naked Brothers Media Player 1G

Brother HL-5250DN Refurbished Network Ready Laser Printer with Duplex Review

Brother HL-5250DN Refurbished Network Ready Laser Printer with Duplex
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought the Brother HL-5250DN printer from Amazon for five reasons:
1) fast monochrome (black and white) printer.
2) network capability.
3) automatic duplexing (printing on both sides of the paper).
4) Enclosed paper tray.
5) Price (and the one-year manufacturer's warranty is nice, even on the refurbished product).
I also like the low toner, paper, and drum replacement indicator lights on the printer. The cost of the toner cartridges is about the same with other printers I've seen.
What comes in the box:
Printer, drum and toner assembly, AC power cord, paper Quick Setup Guide, CD-ROM. The CD-ROM has the drivers, entire Owner's Manual, and animated installation guide.
Note: No cables are provided.
If you are going to connect the printer to a wireless router, you will need an Ethernet cable.
If you are going to connect the printer directly to one computer, you will need either a USB or parallel cable. The printer has connections for both.
Setup
The setup did not go as easily as I hoped.
I had two problems with installation and setup:
1) I was not sure which network to use (peer to peer or shared).
2) After installation, I could not print from one of the two computers on the network.
After easily removing some shipping adhesive tape, inserting the drum/toner assembly (looks like a full toner cartridge, not a starter cartridge) and paper tray, I was ready to proceed with installing the software drivers.
The Quick Setup Guide presents you with choices for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP: USB interface, parallel interface, and network interface. There are also choices if using Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Macintosh. The manufacturer's website indicates Microsoft Vista has "built-in" drivers but Brother drivers are also available on the website.
Upon clicking "Install Printer Driver" from CD-ROM menu, I was presented with three choices: USB cable users, Parallel cable users, and Network cable users. I chose the network cable users since I wanted to add the printer to my wireless network router. I was presented with a license agreement that I accepted. I then had to choose between "Brother Peer-to-Peer Network Printer" or "Network Shared Printer". I chose peer-to-peer to print directly to the printer over the network rather than to a central server on a shared printer. On Step 8 I had to choose "LPR" or "NetBios". I had no idea which one to choose and I didn't find any useful information to help with the decision. I chose LPR and clicked Next. The printer was recognized. Make sure to write down the IP Node Address (for a wireless router it is something like 192.xxx.xx.x).
Now, I needed to access the printer from my wireless computer running Microsoft Vista. I went to the Control Panel and double clicked on Printers. I then chose "Add a Printer" and selected "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer". The computer searched for and found the printer. A couple more clicks and I was successfully printing from the wireless computer.
Printing from the desktop computer running Windows XP, connected to the router with an Ethernet cable, would not be as simple. The computer recognized the printer but would not send any data to the printer. I went to Control Panel, Printer and Faxes, right clicked on Properties. The General tab did not have the Location of the printer. I added 192.xxx.xx.x and clicked OK and tried printing a document but I was not successful. After two hours of dealing with it and looking at the company's website, I called the company (toll-free phone number right on the box). The company was closed; I called the next morning just after the company opened at 9 a.m. Eastern. I went through a very brief voice prompt menu and I was connected to Robby in all of about two minutes. He was polite but he was not able to solve my problem. He told me second level support would call me within 24 hours. Just over two hours later I got a call from Debbie, who was in Memphis, Tennessee. She was very helpful and quickly identified the problem. When hovering over the printer icon in the Printer and Faxes folder, the little popup message indicated the printer was offline. I don't know how I missed that. To correct the problem all I had to do was right click the printer and select "Use Printer Online". After a few seconds the printer was in Ready status. Problem resolved.
Summary
This is my first Brother printer and I am very favorably impressed. I don't think there is another printer on the market with these features at such a low price, at least at the time of this writing.
The product is shipped in the manufacturer's box, not an Amazon box, so all your neighbors will know what's in the box on your doorstep. The box looks like the box for a new printer, listing many features of the printer but it is clearly marked "Factory Refurbished". The printer itself has a sticker on the back with "Re-manufactured Product". My printer was originally manufactured in September 2005. I bought it in May 2007.
My experience with Brother International has been very positive. I got a great printer with excellent features, a full-size toner cartridge TN-550 (not a starter toner cartridge!), and a one-year warranty. From idle/sleep, the first page took only 20 seconds to print and the text quality is great. The icing on the cake was the technical support provided by Americans. Their promptness and knowledge was impressive. This was easily the best technical support experience I have ever had!Update December 4, 2007:
I am still very pleased with the printer but it is noisy when printing and it does make "tick, tick, tick" noises sometimes. Neither of these issues has effected performance. The only annoyance I've experienced is with envelope printing - the envelope always crinkles. This isn't a big deal for me but it is something to consider if envelope printing is important to you.
Update October 7, 2008:
I purchased another refurbished HL-5250. The toner and drum are also factory refurbished. The drum unit (DR-520) has life expectancy of 22,500 pages, about 90% of new. The toner cartridge (TN-550) has an expected yield of 3,150 pages at 5% coverage. A new toner cartridge has an expected yield of 3,500 pages.

Brother MFC-5860cn Color Photo Inkjet All-in-One Flatbed with Networking with 2nd paper tray Review

Brother MFC-5860cn Color Photo Inkjet All-in-One Flatbed with Networking with 2nd paper tray
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
From the specs, this Brother multi-function printer has a lot going for it. In the home or workplace, it falls far short.
I use this printer in a busy home office. After two months of heavy use, here are my thoughts and obervations on it:
Printer: The specs say up to 30 ppm (pages per minute) b&w, 25ppm color. After it warms up, I'd say it never went above 10 ppm even in b&w. Even on its highest quality, it disappoints. Text is clearly legible, but not something I'd feel good about showing a client. Color is woefully slow, and lacks both richness and clarity.
Scanner: From a mechanical perspective, both the ADF and the flatbed actually work quite nicely. However, the old version of Paperport that it includes is slow, and creates HUGE files. OCR quality isn't worth using. I purchased ReadIRIS separately, and have been delighted with its speed and accuracy on this MFC.
Fax: Works well. Could use more menu detail.
Summary: If your most important need is a printer, look elsewhere. If you need a backup printer, but a decent scanner, this is pretty good, once you get better software.

I purchased a new compatible drum for my Brother printer (MFC 8460N)...and within a week my printer had an error message saying the drum was bad....was a waste of money to go this route.

Brother MFC-8820D Laser Printer, Copier, Scanner, Fax Review

Average Reviews:

For our small office of 6 people, we have been looking for an office machine that is easy to operate, reliable, and cost-effective. The four contenders are HP 3330 MFP, Canon D680 imageClass, Brother MFC 9700, Brother MFC 8820D. They are all 4-in-1/5-in-1 machines(Fax, Laser printer, Scanner, Copier, Data/Fax modem) priced below US$800. Brother MFC 9700 is cheaper but comes with a 14.4k modem and only 8MB memory and a smaller flatbed; as the result it faxes and prints slower than MFC 8820D. The remaining three candidates all have excellent "pedigrees" and are well designed and built. However Brother MFC 8820D won at the end for the following outstanding reasons:
1. The 'D' in 8820D stands for duplex copying and printing: It works seamlessly and effortless. There is no need for removing the paper tray manually (really tedious). Duplex "fax receive" saves 30% to 50% of paper by having fax printed on both sides. Now one can have some break from the cost of receiving junk faxes.
2. 32MB memory: This is more than enough for holding a lot of copies and faxes. Very good for large unattended jobs. The best part about this is again about cost. No immediate need to spend more money for upgrading the memory as is required for Canon D680 (measly 2 MB).
3. PC fax software for computer data/fax needs.
4. Expandability for network interface.
5. Digital paper count to indicate the no. of copies made and faxes received: good for cost management and safe guard against potential abuse of the machine by employees for personal uses.
6. Excellent ADF (automatic document feeder): we have not had any paper jam so far.
7. Very easy to program and operate: simple to use for beginners and sophisticated features for users who demand more advanced functions.
8. Last but not the least is the cheaper cost for its toner on a per page basis.
There are only two minor drawbacks for us:
1. MFC 8820D's ADF/scanner does not scan a page from edge to edge. However this is true of all machines in this price range. Canon D680 omits the least at both margins. HP 3330 is the worst.
2. Large footprint. We had to relocate it to a different room in the office where there is enough space instead of putting it at a more convenient place where there is easier access. Nevertheless it's not too bad considering that it replaces 4 separate machines all at once. Besides it forces us to walk down the hallway and get some exercies!! ;--]

Brother DCP-8065DN Digital Copier and Printer (White/Black) Review

Brother DCP-8065DN Digital Copier and Printer (White/Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this printer, I have had it for 3-4 years and use it at a weekend school. I have printed about 60,0000 copies on it. Here is how to fix the 3 most common issues.
Have you noticed how the last page you get before you get the "Toner Life Ended" message is is perfectly clean and doesn't seem to be lacking any toner? Because the cartridge is not really empty!
Here is a trick to make your cartridge print at least 1000 more copies..
Basically if light can pass through the 2 circular optical lenses on opposite sides of the cartridge due to less toner inside, the cartridge is jammed and you get the "Toner Life Ended" message.
When it happens, simply take the cartridge out, get some White Out, and paint the 2 circular optical lenses on opposite side of the cartridge.
Put it back in, print until it really runs out. If you are worried this will damage your cartridge, do not.. The printer had already indicated the cartridge was empty, so you have nothing to lose.
Paint the optical sensors, block the light, cartridge works!
When you get the Drum Life Ended message:
a. open the front cover
b. press the clear/back key
c. press 1 to reset
d. close the front cover.
You are done, it will count another 20,000 before warning you, but you may decide to replace earlier if not happy with quality of prints after some 10,000 more prints.You can also refill each cartridge twice for about $10 each, just buy toner on eBay, for 7000 more copies.

The Brother DCP-8065DN Digital Copier and Printer offers high-performance digital copying and printing for all your business needs. It features a flatbed design for copying and scanning books and magazines and automatic duplex (two-sided) copying. Yet the DCP-8065DN is more than just a reliable digital copier; it also provides high-end functionality for your business. For optimum convenience and productivity, it can be installed on a network for your small business or workgroup, allowing multiple users not only the ability to share it as a copier, but also a printer and scanner. It comes with document viewer and OCR software, including Scansoft PaperPort SE with OCR for Windows and Presto! PageManager for Mac.Features Your Business Will Use Every Day In addition to professional quality copying, the DCP-8065DN offers laser printing and color scanning as well as a 50-page auto document feeder and a legal size document glass. To help save you time, it prints up to 30 (black) pages per minute and features a standard input paper capacity of 250 sheets, as well as a multi-purpose tray with a capacity of up to 50 sheets. Extremely user friendly, the DCP-8065DN lets you make copies and scans just by using the dedicated keys on the control panel. To customize your settings -- such as the percentage of enlarge/reduce you want -- the large LCD display on the control panel guides you through your choices. The 32 MB memory also ensures that you can complete a high number of large, complex jobs.Automatic Duplexing Features Thanks to this innovative system, now you can copy, scan, or print two sides of a document automatically. You can also scan both sides of a two-sided document and print or store the scan as a single-sided page or as a single two-sided page. In addition, the DCP-8065DN lets you scan two single-sided pages to print or store as a single two-sided page. By offering these options, the DCP-8065DN gives you optimum versatility you can rely on no matter what your needs.The Automatic Document Feeder To help give you more time during your busy day, the automatic document feeder lets you load up to 50 pages at a time for copying or scanning. It handles letter or legal size documents and feeds them automatically, while you take on other tasks. The flatbed copying and scanning is easy to use: just lift the cover and use the legal-size document glass to copy or scan from books, magazines, or odd-sized pieces. The cover has "expansion" hinges at the back to accommodate even bulkier items. The 250-sheet adjustable paper tray lets you change from letter to legal size in seconds using the same tray. And with such a large sheet capacity, you won't have to re-supply as often, giving you more time to devote to your business.It's also easy to add a second paper tray for greater flexibility. The 50-sheet multi-purpose tray can be folded down to feed company letterhead, envelopes, card stock, and other paper. This option is ideal for those times when you just need to print a couple of pieces on a special paper or use a particular size.Speed and Resolution The DCP-8065DN delivers quick, efficient speeds of up to 30 page/copy per minute copying and laser printing, and also offers print resolution up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. For precise, easy-to-read documents, copies can be reduced or enlarged 25 to 400 percent. The toner cartridge has an output of up to 3,500 pages, and the DR520 drum unit produces up to 25,000 pages, which means you won't have to waste time frequently replacing these units. There's also a function lock, setting lock, and secure print security function for added peace of mind. The backlit LCD clearly displays 22 characters and five lines, so it's clear and easy to read and the keypads are simple to use and easy to navigate. Plus, to customize your settings -- such as the percentage of enlarge/reduce you need -- the display also guides you through your choices. As efficient as it is user-friendly, the DCP-8065DN's compact size meets Energy Star's compliancy guidelines.Ideal For Growing Businesses Because of all its special features and its Ethernet connectivity, the DCP-8065DN is a great choice for growing businesses. If your business has a wireless network, or plans to have one in the future, the DCP-8065DN is a worthwhile investment because it provides a built-in Ethernet Interface to connect to your wired network and also has wireless capability. This allows you to share its fast printing speeds and sophisticated "Scan To" function (which allows you to scan and share information with those in your network) across your connected workgroups. Businesses thrive when they can disseminate information quickly. The DCP-8065DN can now make that possibility a reality for you.

Brother DCP-585CW Color Inkjet All-in-One Photo Printer with Wireless Networking Review

Set up with either cable or wireless, nice for networking. Print quality of photos is NICE, scanner works like a breeze and scan quality is pretty good as well. I like how you can just push a button and you can see the ink levels. There are 4 different ink cartridges so I only have to replace the color that goes empty. Printing is a little slow but it is a great all around printer/scanner.
