This printer is a 6-1 does it all from color printing, color copying, scanning, color faxing, pc faxing and photo printing from pict bridge, memory card or through your computer.

Things I really like about this printer are:

1. 10 page document feeder.
2. Memory card reader. My computer doesn't have a memory card reader so I don't have to buy one.
3. Cheap Ink only $10.00! http://www.amazon.com/Compatible-LC-51-BROTHER-MFC-240C-440CN/dp/B0014YZ36M/ref=pd_sim_e_4
4. The price I bought it for from Bestbuy is cheap compared here at amazon.

The issues I have with this printer are the following:

1. It's a bit slow when you print your documents (Even if you already set it on fast printing.
2. When receiving fax you have to set it in fax only when not around or give the caller a fax tone... I already tried a lot of settings like Fax/Telephone, Manual, External TAD but everytime somebody sends a document while i'm not around it doesn't automatically receive the fax!
3. On initial set-up under receive mode I have to set my printer to manual because I have issues with my voicemail going somewhere else!
4. You have to change your ink every six months. (I have to change mine anyway!) but for some people who doesn't use it often it's costly. I used to have an HP1350 and I don't have to changed mine for more than a year but the price on my HP to change the ink is $[...][ and above!
5. No USB ab included. I have to buy mine from Bestbuy for $30.00 but returned it after I receive my order from amazon.com Here's the link it only cost below $5.00 http://www.amazon.com/Startech-Premium-Speed-Certified-Device/dp/B000067SPP/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1223797809&sr=8-1

Anyway, The pros on this printer far more outweights the cons. I recommend this printer if you can buy it 50% less comapared to amazon.com and your purpose is for Home Use Only.

AMAZING VALUE FOR THE MONEY. I USE THE FAX ALL THE TIME. I DON'T HAVE TO USE THE COMPUTER FOR THIS FUNCTION EITHER. I CAN SEND ONE PAGE OR AS MANY AS I LIKE. MUCH BETTER THAN MY OLD EPSON CX6400. I LOVE THIS MACHINE!

1 out of 5 stars The worst printer I have ever seen   October 11, 2008

Do not buy this printer. It is the worst printer I have ever seen. From the constant paper jams that are nearly impossible to unclog, false low ink readings that disable the printer, and just moodiness this printer is horrible. Some days it works, other days it decides to take a day off and will not function at all. The best are when you install a brand new ink cartridge and then it tells you that it is empty and refuses to attempt to print until you install yet another ink cartridge. I have never wanted to throw a piece of electronic equipment out the window until I met this printer.

My mother bought this printer for me because she swore up and down that she owned the same model and it was great for her. I'm not sure if she was mistaken or I got a lemon, but I was only able to use this printer for 3 or 4 months, max. I never even made it past the cartridges that came with the printer. I got paper jams every time I tried to print, and now I guess I have an 'eternal' paper jam because it won't print at all now. I've tried everything, and I'm pretty handy with jams because I remove them all the time from a much larger printer at work. Yes, it was slower than a turtle, yes, it was always cleaning.. but at least it was better than nothing. Now I can't even say that..! What a piece of junk! I guess I'll be trying a Canon now.
