Brother MFC-5840cn

Pros: Lots of features, good Mac support

Cons: Slow, poor quality output, paper jams, won't feed glossy

Summary: I wanted to like this printer so much. In fact, I ignored the fact that my last Brother MFC printer died prematurely because this one had so many features. But time after time waiting for the printouts to finish, trying to get it to do what I wanted, and trying to feed anything but plain paper through it, I give up. It's slow, the output is mediocre, it won't take more than one sheet of "specialty paper" (ie labels, cd jewel case stock, etc) at a time without jamming, and it won't feed glossy paper at all - just making terrible noises and giving up. It also seems to have a giant margin area that cuts off printing at the bottom of label pages. I'm just sorry I recommended this printer initially to friends.

If you want something cheap that does a lot, and can stand the slowness, it's not terrible. But it's not something I'd rely on.
