I bought an HP inkjet and had to return it as it was so hard to set up with Mac -never could get it working. This printer set up easily with Mac and works great wirelessly. Do know though that with Macs you can't scan from the machine "scan button"- can only scan through your computer bringing up the "control center" menu that will download from disc set up. And this is with ANY printer/scanner you buy, not just Brother. This has something to do with Mac security within their computers. I also much prefer the laser jet. prints way better, and saves $ on ink. I'd never go inkjet again...

The sign in the store claimed that it was iPad compatible. The implication is that it supports AirPrint.

So, I purchased it for the express purpose of printing from my iPad. What they don't tell you is that IT DOESN'T SUPPORT AIRPRINT and you can only print from their application, which only supports certain file types. My application doesn't allow me to save data, which means THIS PRINTER IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS for it's intended purpose.

More than being frustrated with the printer, it's extremely unlikely that I will ever purchase another printer from Brother in the future (this is my fourth).

            Comments about Brother� MFC7860DW Laser Multi-Function Printer:

            With 2 college students in the house I needed a fast printer, and Ink for Inkjets is getting too expensive. The default toner saver mode is good for inexpensive everyday printing; turn it off and the text is as black as you can get. I like the fact that it is supported on Mac's and Linux as well as windows (I have all three here). This is a fast monochrome printer that scans, copies and faxes too. It does a good job scanning, the colors are close enough, so all it takes is a little tweaking in the image editor of your choice (Gimp here) and you are good to go,

            Comments about Brother� MFC7860DW Laser Multi-Function Printer:

            We had an Epson Workforce 610 before this...it worked great for about 10 months and then it started to breakdown. The auto-document feeder started to jam and skip pages. We tried an HP after that, but it was not up to par--it scanned and printed really slowly. We decided we didn't need a color inkjet, so we went with the Brother.

            This unit seems to get the job done. It's not huge and overbearing. The settings are customizable, which is nice. It's just really loud. It has a fan that runs when it's printing/scanning so it doesn't overheat, so you don't really want to have it on a desk next to you. I can't hear people on the phone when the fan is on. Luckily, it turns off if it's not in use for a certain amount of time. Other than that, this seems to do the job.

            The starter laser cartridge only prints about 600 pages (in eco mode), but the replacement, full-sized cartridges are only about $44, so it's pretty reasonable.

              Extremely easy to install. Using with wired network connection so machine goes to deep sleep and there is no noise. If wireless network connection is used it does not go into deep sleep so some reviews say it is noisy but even thar is not bothersome. Easy to scan to pc duplex printing is excellent. Using Brother's iPhone or iPad app allows printing to the printer and scanning into iPhone or iPad even when it is using wired connection. Super convenient.

              Comments about Brother� MFC7860DW Laser Multi-Function Printer:

              This is an awesome printer for the price. I replaced an older Brother laser jet workhorse and a color Brother MFC-9320cw. This new printer copies duplex and works wireless effortlessly. The scanner function is the best I have ever experienced - the software is extremely user friendly. Print function has fast speed and excellent quality. Set-up was so simple that I never had to pick up the phone and call Brother customer support (who BTW are EXCELLENT to work with in resolving problems).

              So far, I have only two complaints - 1) this is without a doubt the noisiest printer I have ever owned. I'm learning to cope with it and make phone calls when the printer is sleeping or turned off. 2) the individual paper feed on the front of the printer jerks my check paper so the resulting text is slightly tilted on the page. I now resort to putting the check paper stock in the paper tray and it prints perfectly. For these two reasons, I only rated this printer with four stars.

              The fax set-up allows you to modify the setting to accept VoIP phone service. I use the printer to send faxes using a Magic Jack phone line without any problems.

                  Currently, Brother printer's aren't sold as "Cloud ready printers". So this printer would need to be connected to a computer to install the necessary drivers to be Google Cloud Print compatible. To place an order for this item, please contact us by dialing 1-800-333-3330.
