Brother MFC-9010CN High Quality Digital Color All-in-One Printer with Networking

I purchased this printer based on the review of a fellow Amazon user, who mentioned its great compatibility with Snow Leopard, as well as its very affordable price for everything it offers.

A loyal HP printer user for many years, I decided to save a couple hundred bucks and try my luck with this machine. I was sold on its many features and low price.

I was so pleased with how simple this printer was to set up. From box to print was about 8 minutes, most of that time spent removing tape from the unit and loading the toner cartridges. Network setup was instant: I connected an ethernet cable to my router (which is connected to my cable modem) and POOF -- just by printing something from Word, my Snow Leopard downloaded and installed the appropriate software, and it printed a gorgeous document. I never even needed to insert the CD (but I think I will when I try to use the PC to print to it via the network).

I wanted just one printer that all of the...Read more

This is an excellent multi-function device. I had been using the Brother DCP-7020, an incredibly reliable machine, that lasted me ten years without any problems. The only reason I replaced it was to have color digital printing. The 9010CN is great, especially if you're running MacOS X, and ONLY if you connect the printer using the Ethernet network jack to an ethernet hub, airport base station, etc. If you do that, you have full WIRELESS PRINTING AND SCANNING. It's the scanning part that I was surprised at. I'm running Snow Leopard, and if you open up the Print Queue window for this printer, there's a scanning button in the upper-right corner which gives you access to all sorts of scanning options: color/grey, resolution, flat-bed or DOCUMENT FEEDER! I'm not sure if wireless scanning is supported via the USB port (e.g., hook up the printer via USB to an Airport Express); however, if you connect this printer to your network via ethernet and you're a mac user, you get outstanding...Read more

I have been a fan of brother printers since I got the HL-5140 years ago! I am a home user but want and need a printer that will be reliable and dependable for more than 1 year, I hate ink jet printers!

Color printing is great. It's not meant to be a photo printer but it did a decent job on the photos for my daughter's science project. Printing Text is crisp and great - both Black and White and Color!

Scanning (from a PC) works excellently and is very easy to do and isn't cluttered down and overly complicated the way HP makes their scanning software...

Copying is fast and easy with the auto feeder both Black and White and Color copies are perfect.

Setting this printer up on a network was very easy - picked up an IP Address and the Printer install software found it with no problem and was setup in just a few minutes (without any bloatware). Works with Windows 7 x64... Oh and after I had it installed it downloaded and installed a...Read more
