Brother MFC-420CN USB Printer Reviews

Get Her Done: This  Item is the one for you.....!!!!

I am excited to introduce this item to you.  If you are a casual, once in a while,user or a small office manager or clerical worker..  I serves as a copier, fax machine, which prints your confirmation report for your records, Prints all your online and offline documents right from your computer.

It is also a stand alone, printer for printing photos, scanning documents, with a peautiful picture window to show what is being printed or faxed.

It has a top load document feeder, and prints well with almost any type paper. Other features, include...

The Brothers MFC Printer is alright for faxing and copying only.  One of the biggest factors that sold me on buying this printer was the price, I got it for only $79. Another big reason I purchased it was that it is 4 in 1; a printer, copier, fax, and scanner. I especially like that it can do all those in color (except fax of course). I also like the fact that it can be placed practically anywhere; on a desk, counter, under a table, on a shelf. And it's Brothers so you're able to see on the computer the ink cartridge levels.  But there are a couple of things I don't like, such as you...

I don't really print much, I don't scan much and I don't fax much.  So it really makes no sense for me to have a separate device for each function.  I bought the Brother 420 as it seemed the best thing on sale at the store at the time.  My only real concern was that there was linux support.  After hooking the printer up to the network, I installed the drivers and started printing.  It took a little tweaking, but I got there in the end.  Same deal with the scanning.  I'm probably lacking some of the features you get if you use the giant windows app that ships with it, but I'm happy enough. ...

The machine itself is excellent.  The printing is great and the scanning and copier are very good too.  The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to buy Brother ink.  You can't buy the compatible.  I used it and when I called "Help" they had me go buy all Brother ink and replace the ones i had in the machine with it.  Then I was to call them back.  It turned out I had the machine for two years and the print heads went bad.  I never got to use the Fax so I don't know how that works.

 All in all if you can afford to buy the original ink it is worth buying the machine.

I really like my brother all-in-one printer.  I had to replace my old one and this one was inexpensive and so easy to use.  I never could figure out how to use the scanner on my old printer and this one was right there when I turned it on.  You can get inexpensive cartridges on line and they last quite a while.  I never thought of doing photos because I have a photo printer but I think I will try it tonight and see how it works.  It also is smaller and more attractive than my old all-in-one printer.
