   I definitely got my money's worth but I also got lots of aggravation with paper jams. This machine seems to use a disproportionate amount of ink. I'm going to get another Brother the MFC 465cn which received much higher reviews without any complaints about paper jams and ink.

   Liked my MFC-5440CN so much I bought this one next. Although I don't do a lot of scanning, a flat-bed is best. I like the automatic document feeder. I use the machine mostly for network printing, faxing (in & out) multiple pages, & copying. There could be a simpler way to address individual envelopes. This one requires taking out the paper stack & adjusting the track, then re-inserting the paper stack when finished. Easy network installation; just follow simple instructions.

   I must have gotten a great deal on this printer, because after I received it, Amazon's price was higher than what I paid Amazon for it. Either way, its a very good printer and much better than the 560cn I had before this one. It is quick to start printing and the color is very good. I needed this multi-function printer for the wired ethernet. I believe there are printers with WIFI built in, but not in this price range. I would definitely recommend this printer.

   just received it :) so far so GOOD! love it its a bit big:( nd slightly heavy but i wont be moving it around so that doesnt matter. everything works. Make sure you purchase the usb cord (find the cheapest one, I bought one here for like 2 dollars) Ink might be expensive but just try nd buy in bulk.

   We bought two of these to replace two HP PSC 1610's three wks ago - so far so good. The PSC's worked for us for 3-4 yrs and by now they both sounded too tired and ready to die. Ink cartridges: Buy the "XL" versions, stands for extra large I guess. Better price per page and less trips to the store. Installation: A breeze. For the ones who had problems: FOLLOW THE EXACT DIRECTIONS, not what YOU think is the right way :-) BTW, if I thought the installation of the PSC 1610 was long...this one is REALLY long. Was it an hour? Or it seems it was. The HP F4280 is a lot quieter than the PSC 1610 and reasonably fast. Except at the printing start: For some reason after you hit "Print" it takes 3-5 seconds of "Nothing is Happening". Can this silly problem be corrected?? I ended up with some duplicate documents, but now I know better. Save ink and time: Set your default at "Fast Draft" - it makes a very respectable copy at that setting. Scanning: I think it is a little faster than the PSC 1610 and at the default setting of 200dpi the results are very good. I tried the 600dpi, slight difference on the monitor, but I'm sure it makes a better printed copy. OVERALL: A great printer for the price.
