Customer Reviews
great printer with out great linux drivers
I connected this to a wired network - I have not tried the wireless connections. It was very easy. Printer works well. One problem (otherwise I would have given it five stars) - there are no really good linux drivers (some so-so ones but no great ones - get on it Brothers!)
Great economical printer
I was a bit leery buying this printer because the brand didn't have the market "mind-share" that HP, EPSON, and Canon have. I own both HP and Canon inkjets that use way too much ink, so I decided to try this one since for about $47 (the same price as the ink cartridges), I could get 2,600 printed pages!! It seems like I get about 100 pages on the HP and Canon before I need to order more ink. No matter what site I looked at, the reviews of the printer were SOLID, with people generally complaining about the wireless set up. I think if you know your wireless settings, you won't have too many problems.
I used the directions and CD that came with the printer, and followed the directions that used the ethernet cable, since I have a very old wireless Linksys G router. I have Windows XP machines, and since I knew all my wireless settings, the computers were set up very quickly and printed on the first try, except one machine, where the personal firewall was blocking the print jobs. Once I added the printer's IP address to the firewall, all the print jobs went through. I did use the BRAdmin Light Utility that came with the CD to change the printer to a static IP address to eliminate any issues with the IP address I specified in the firewall, since I can have a variable number of machines connected to the router.
So far, the print quality has been very good. The printer is completely wireless... no cat5 wire from the printer to the router, nor are there any wires from the machines to the printer. What Freedom! The printer is in a completely different room from the router/modem. Duplexing is manual, but for the current 89.99 price, that's a small inconvenience. I have been impressed with the utilities that come with the printer... I can see exactly how many copies I have printed, and I can also see how many jams have occurred (none). I don't think you can get that kind of information from HP or Canon.
Overall, I am very pleased with this printer.
Wireless printer
Very good product. Very convenient. I use it for my home network and since I have a notebook and so does my wife, it makes printing easy. A little bit of trouble with the installation because I have a Mac and my wife has a PC.
