VERY NICE MACHINE by John R. Valko "Taxx Mann" on amazon.com Jul 3, 2012
I have been a Brother user for many years and always wanted a color printer. I saw this one on-line, spent a lot of time researching it, was happy with the reviews and then I got an e-mail from Amazon saying that it was on sale. I am very happy with it. ...
 
Eggcellent Printer! by UltraSPARC on newegg.com Jun 20, 2012
Overall this is a great printer. I have lots of clients that can barely use a fax machine, let alone complicated software to control a printer/scanner. Because all of the functions (besides printing from a PC) can be done on the device itself, it makes ...
 
Great for home or small office by Memories Unlimited on bhphotovideo.com Jan 18, 2012
I purchased this product for use in my small business that is out of my home. Set up of the machine was easy and I found the instructions for setting up the wireless connection to be easy to follow. Works great, documents look professional when printed ...
 
We went from a 9840CDW to this machine. The difference is GREAT! The print speed... by Joana K on pcnation.com Apr 7, 2011
We went from a 9840CDW to this machine. The difference is GREAT! The print speed is alot faster, and the warm up time is also faster. Excel files with pics and color are alot sharper and vibrant, very impressive! I honestly have no Cons and I don't normally ...
 
Wonderful piece of technology. Excellent value by Amazon Lover on amazon.com May 9, 2012
We also own the MFC-9840CDW (great unit as well) and this machine is definitely an improvement in several ways: 1. Aesthetics. Looks great! 2. Speed. Faster and more responsive in every way. 3. Power consumption. This unit only uses 1.6 watts when in ...

Worst printer I ever owned! by D. Martin on amazon.com May 30, 2012
(Note: This review does not, in any way, reflect poorly on Amazon.) This is, without a doubt, the worst printer I have ever owned but I am stuck with it...a $600.00 paperweight! I wanted a color laser multi-function machine because I was tired of replacing ...
 
Not So Great by Dingo Hammer on newegg.com Apr 19, 2011
I checked to see if there was Linux support before purchasing this printer. I have probably spent three hours trying to get it to work with Ubuntu without success. The Windows installation did not go well either. PaperPort is the software they bundle ...

Not Worth It... At All by SandersC. on amazon.com Jun 10, 2012
First, I received a defective product on my first go around. It was replaced ith a REFURBISHED machine. Mind you, mine was brand new out of the box. PAPER CURLS ARE HORRIBLE. IMAGE QUALITY SUCKS. ITS NOW AT THE POINT WHERE ITS JAMMING EVERY TWO OR THREE ...

Brother MFC-9970CDW review - Printer - Trusted Reviews
While the purchase price of the MFC-9970CDW may be a little high, given the actual throughput speed we measured, there's no doubt that its feature set, print quality and print costs are well up to the mark...At the top of these, the MFC-9970CDW is a multifunction with all the trimmings...This printer’s most obvious differences from those lower down the range are its 130mm touchscreen and its 20-button quick-dial fax pad...The four toner cartridges are supplied pre-installed, though you have to remove plastic packing pieces and tapes before running the machine...

Brother MFC-9970CDW review | IT PRO Reviews
Brother’s MFC-9970CDW is designed as a flexible and highly functional office workhorse, with integrated duplex printing and scanning, a fax machine, touchscreen and network printing management interface...Measuring a surprisingly compact 530x490x526mm, the MFC-9970CDW has a 250-sheet paper tray, along with a 50-sheet multipurpose tray capable of handling envelope and paper weights of up to 163gsm...It can connect your network wirelessly or to a single PC via USB, but most offices will be using a standard wired Ethernet connection...There’s plenty of flexibility when it comes to which features you install on the PCs connected to it, too...
