Cost of drum and toner are much cheaper than other brand printers, my main reason for buying it. Also I had on older brother MFC before and always liked it. The only problem is, the brother scanner software is poor compared to my 5 year old Canon scanner software, i'm a little surprised about it. For example, when you do a scan preview, it automatically selects the scan area in the Canon, not here though, thats quite basic and a pain not having that feature. Also, there are much much fewer scan image adjustment options that Canon had. Other than the scanner software pains, I like the printer however, scan quality is good, print quality is good. I have it hooked up to my network via an ethernet cable which has a wireless gateway. So this printer is available on the network wirelessly also. I don't know what the big deal is about a 'wireless ready' printer, all a printer needs to be is (ethernet) network capable, most of us have a wireless router and it will automatically become available to all PCs on the same network - wired or wireless. 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Works well so far in both Linux and Windows. By M. Schwerin I've only had the printer about a week now. I have it configured to work with Ubuntu Linux 10.10 64bit and Windows 7 32bit and is connected over Ethernet (I haven't tried the USB connection). I haven't done much scanning yet so I can't speak about the scan quality other than basic copying works well. I will update my review when I have more to say. Pros: * It is pretty quick. I haven't timed it but unlike the inkjet printers I've used in the past this one is at least close to the advertised 27ppm. * Auto document feeder works well. * Print and copy quality are good. Cons: Basically no issues yet other than taking maybe an hour to get scan to FTP server working which I didn't even know it had in the first place so can't complain and most of that was getting the ftp server configured correctly on my computer. Like any laser printer I've ever used it doesn't print all the way to the edge of the page so if you try to copy something which has little or no border then it will get cropped if you push it to the edge of the scanner bed. There might be a setting to auto scale or shift in this case, but I haven't looked yet. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Brother MFC7460DN By EdGeb This unit clearly functioned to specs and is a great buy. I have purchased many Brother products because of their reliability and great free technical support over the phone - even after warranty period. Could not understand how to make several features work after studying printed instructions - even in the manual provided on the enclosed disk. Had to call Customer (Technical) Support. These folks were a great help. They didn't charge me. They even e-mailed me technical material to show me how to solve many of my problems. Had Brother better made their furnished instructions, they could save many customer support hours. EdGeb See all 15 customer reviews...
