Drum died after 12 months |
| I bought this printer because of the initial low price. I must admit for the past year it has printed very well. I never experienced the "gray-background" printing issues of other reviewers. However, my printer just suddenly *died*. A little troubleshooting revealed the problem to be the printer drum. The cost of replacing the drum is almost the price of buying a new printer ($130-150). After reading page after page of negative reviews from other Brother owners, I have decided that the money for a new printer drum would be better invested in a new printer from another company. I won't buy another Brother. |

Terrible |
| I've had experience with two of these machines, one at work and another I later purchased for home use. Both started spewing gray streaked pages within a year of purchase. New drum costs as much as the printer. Avoid this printer. |

Garbage product; do not buy |
When I was young, I used to work at a flea market selling cheap electronic equipment. Some new, some rebuilt. The person I worked for had no problem selling items that he knew did not work. He assumed that the person would come back and we would exchange for another one. I was never comfortable with this approach.
I think that person now works for Brother. This printer has a profoundly defective design. Brother must know about it (just read these boards, or others such as at CNET). Mine was defective out of the box. Smudged print output with lines down the page. Fortunately, I purchased it at Staples so I could easily return for a full refund. I will never buy another product from Brother. I used to think that they were a reasonably reliable brand name. Not any more.
My advice: for a low-end high-quality laser B&W printer, get the HP 1012. |
