Excellent laser printer
This Brother MFC-L8900CDW printer is huge, but was easy to set up and the copies are crisp and beautiful. It is hardwired to my computer and wireless connected to my husband’s computer. It prints from my iPad and my iPhone…YES!
The only issue is with the cost of replacement print cartridges.
I still recommend this printer for those who do a lot of printing at home...

WASTE OF MONEY
Ran fine for about 9 months with one glitch - the printer kept telling me that the yellow cartridge was empty after I replaced it. That happened once until this December when it happened repeatedly. I spent valuable time exchanging yellow cartridges. Brother support was non existent. When I first contacted them, I was in the middle of a work deadline and I couldn't find...

So far, so good!
Have had the copier for a little more than a week -- and, so far, it's been great. Easy to set up, B/W copies look terrific (have yet to make color copies), it's quiet, and has numerous useful features. If you're shopping for a copier, consider this one.

I've had lots of printers over the years; ink jets lasers, copiers, etc. Almost every brand and the Brother has been the most dependable.

This machine is fairly slow. It does NOT give you a warning when you are getting close to be out of ink.

Disappointed that the back has to be open to do labels and specialty prints on thinker paper. This takes up another foot on my desk. Calibration needs to be done frequently when using specialty paper. Normal printing and 2-sided printing is great.

slow in printing
I bought this printer few months ago and already needed to replace all toners. We used canon before but this printer use alot of ink I think. Can not get hold of customer service to get answers on issues. . I can not register the product as it shows error. The printing is super slow. It takes 10-15 seconds before printer starts printing.

Unable to Register Product
Don't Bother. Do not buy this printer because you will not be able to register it online. You will constantly receive the message that the serial number is invalid although you have repeatedly checked to insure you have entered it correctly. Online support is absolutely useless. You cannot have service or replacement of parts or the machine if you cannot register it.

Printer is awesome with great functionality. The only draw back was in the Scanning to E-Mail setup. It was a bit difficult. I called Tech Support and they helped get me through it. He had a bit of an attitude and did forget a step so it didn't work, but I was able to figure out what he forgot.

A diamond with one rough edge.
Extremely well crafted printer / scanner with good support. One area for improvement would be better software for windows 11. My setup is windows 11 native driver (for printing) and iPrint&Scan (for scanning) - with ZERO Brother drivers. This works great for me, but should be plug and play right out of the box.

Best Printer By Far
Great printer! I use it for my notary business with home loans.. I had one years ago with a dual tray. This one comes with only one tray, but I was able to buy the second tray which makes it complete for me.
I was once a GM for Staples and buying cartridges for a less expensive printer is where people go wrong.

Nice printer, software could be more user friendly
Printer seems to be pretty good after a month of use. Still getting used to the lag time as i changed over from a tank printer to this laser but it is defininately fast and prints very nice. One thing to note is i am still struggling with the scanner setup. I do a fair amount of scanning and it seems like a cumbersome process compared to what i am used to. I am hoping i...
