Brother Multifunction MFC-465CN Printer Review

I wanted the Brother MFC-465CN to cover some modest needs. While it was inexpensive to buy, that is where the savings end.

The setup was easy, whether for local use or networked except that the documentation was sparse. This made it hard to find where to connect the USB cable. Fortunately, there are videos online (locate through search engines).

The print is ok, not fabulous. While legible, it lacks crispness and intensity. Speed did perform within expectations.

Brother ink is expensive. There are some generics (refill shops) out there, but it tends to leak. I got about 1/2 ream per cartridge which is ludicrous. Page speed was good, though.

All told, cost of ownership makes this printer too expensive.
