I will never buy another Brother printer again. Not long ago I got hold of a brother MFC 210C multifunction printer/scanner/fax. I know it’s not the best, but nor was it the cheapest. Where they really screw you over is the ink. If one of the colours runs out, it just stops printing. No gray-scale or black only, it just stops. So I shell out for yellow, even though nothing colour has been printed for 3 months, then, as if in a coordinated attempt to con more money out of you, the other colours run out too. I pull the cartridge out to find that it’s about quater full still. I put it back and the printer still says empty.
IMHO Canon now produce the best home printers for both price, quality and support. Brother’s are just, well, you’ve already mentioned it.
