Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Brother DCP-8065DN Digital Copier and Printer (White/Black)
Customer Review: Great Printer with Buggy PC Software
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to use as a network printer, but the buggy control center software bundled with it only managed to connect to the printer on some of the Windows computers I own. The story doesn't end there though. Brother has an extensive driver catalog supporting a wide array of operating systems, so I was able to rig the system up to a Linux box it sits near via USB and use CUPS to share it around the house. With that, all of the Windows boxes can now easily connect via Internet Printing Protocol without the control center software and using only the minimalist print drivers. There are even drivers for this thing on XP Pro x64 which is impressive considering that poor OS has become neglected by wildly popular software like iTunes, and this is not to mention the distribution-specific instructions and drivers Brother has made available on Linux.
As for the printer itself, it sports a selectable duplex auto feeder for scanning in addition to a flatbed, and it has full duplex printing. I'm around 600 pages on this thing and it hasn't jammed or had any trouble once. It does make all the lights flicker and spins up some pretty loud fans when it is warming up to print, but it hasn't blown a fuse. Scanning works great with XSane on Ubuntu, and printing warm-up and completion time is incredibly short even relative to larger and pricier office units I have dealt with.
I got a great price on this refurbished at Staples about 6 months ago when they still carried it, and it really can't be beat for the price. I would recommend getting this if a deal comes up, and I am confident that Brother will support it with drivers long into the future.

Extremely user friendly, the DCP-8065DN lets you make copies and scans just by using the dedicated keys on the control panel.

Automatic Duplexing Features
Thanks to this innovative system, now you can copy, scan, or print two sides of a document automatically. You can also scan both sides of a two-sided document and print or store the scan as a single-sided page or as a single two-sided page. In addition, the DCP-8065DN lets you scan two single-sided pages to print or store as a single two-sided page. By offering these options, the DCP-8065DN gives you optimum versatility you can rely on no matter what your needs.
The Automatic Document Feeder
To help give you more time during your busy day, the automatic document feeder lets you load up to 50 pages at a time for copying or scanning. It handles letter or legal size documents and feeds them automatically, while you take on other tasks. The flatbed copying and scanning is easy to use: just lift the cover and use the legal-size document glass to copy or scan from books, magazines, or odd-sized pieces. The cover has "expansion" hinges at the back to accommodate even bulkier items. The 250-sheet adjustable paper tray lets you change from letter to legal size in seconds using the same tray. And with such a large sheet capacity, you won't have to re-supply as often, giving you more time to devote to your business.
It's also easy to add a second paper tray for greater flexibility. The 50-sheet multi-purpose tray can be folded down to feed company letterhead, envelopes, card stock, and other paper. This option is ideal for those times when you just need to print a couple of pieces on a special paper or use a particular size.
Speed and Resolution
The DCP-8065DN delivers quick, efficient speeds of up to 30 page/copy per minute copying and laser printing, and also offers print resolution up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. For precise, easy-to-read documents, copies can be reduced or enlarged 25 to 400 percent. The toner cartridge has an output of up to 3,500 pages, and the DR520 drum unit produces up to 25,000 pages, which means you won't have to waste time frequently replacing these units. There's also a function lock, setting lock, and secure print security function for added peace of mind. The backlit LCD clearly displays 22 characters and five lines, so it's clear and easy to read and the keypads are simple to use and easy to navigate. Plus, to customize your settings -- such as the percentage of enlarge/reduce you need -- the display also guides you through your choices. As efficient as it is user-friendly, the DCP-8065DN's compact size meets Energy Star's compliancy guidelines.
