Customer Review: A Great Multifunction Laser Printer- 20 month follow-up
Summary: 5 Stars
I have now had this printer for 20 months and have had no problems with printing, faxing or copying (more than I can say for any of the HPs I have owned in the past). It is setup on the home apple network and does exactly what it is supposed to. The only function I have not tried is scanning. If you get this machine, it is a good idea to always keep an extra toner cartridge handy, since there is almost no warning that you are about to run out. When I install a new one, I go online and order the next replacement. Bottom line: 20 months and still no reservations about this printer.
Original review: When I bought a new Apple iMac earlier this year, I found that my HP laserjet 3200 would not work with the new Apple Leopard OS and HP did not have drivers that would fix the problem. I went shopping at the local office supply stores and read the Amazon reviews and finally settled on this Brother printer. Wanted the speed of a laser printer and did not need color. Fax was important, copier useful and scanner a nice bonus. I was somewhat concerned after reading some of the reviews of this product by others but so far (2 months) I have had none of their problems. The 8460N worked right out of the box. Setup with the iMac was painless and I now have it set up as a bonjour printer attached to my new Apple Time Capsule. No problem with that setup either, once I realized I had to uninstall it as a USB printer and reinstall as a bonjour printer. When it is in sleep mode, it is completely quiet. When I send it a document, it wakes quickly, prints very quickly and will go back to sleep mode if not given more work to do. It does not make excessive noise while it is printing, relative to the HPs I have owned. And there is no noise when it is in sleep mode.
Compared to the HPs I looked at, this Brother seems well constructed and durable.
The only minor negative that others have also mentioned is that the printed pages are delivered in the cavity below the copier deck, which you can see in the picture of it. Not a major issue but can be a bit hard to get hold of all the pages from this spot.
So far I am completely satisfied with my decision to buy this printer and am comfortable recommending it without reservation.
