Solid printer, at the right price,

I found this printer on Slick Deals for 50% off retail, so I got it ridiculously cheap. However, for the price, this is a really solid all-in-one printer. Most recently used the fax feature, and it works to perfection, as easy as pie.
I use the printer in my office, so I'm not printing pictures and all of that, but it prints pages from the internet great, as well as the leads that are sent to me. It scans and copies wonderfully as well.
I found a great source for printer ink here on Amazon, that sells for under 5 bucks a piece. Amazing! Look around, you'll find it. If you go to Staples or a retail store, you'll be paying $25 a piece, which is tomfoolery. Amazon is king, as always.
I'm satisfied with my purchase (so far, LOL).
Don't Buy!,

One of THE WORST Printers I've ever had. CONSTANT Paper jams, horrible color pictures. And don't leave it on, cause at 2am it will start LOUDLY cleaning it's self for a couple minutes and you can't stop it, it's random. Runs through ink fast. I only bought this because I THOUGHT a Best Buy employee was suggesting it, however after the sale was over I found out it was actually a Rep. from Brother that just happened to be in the store at the time and told me not to buy the Cannon I was looking at. Stay away!!!
The features do not work without ink,

I needed a new scanner and color printer and saw this one at Office Max. I wanted something wireless and this one seemed to do everything I needed. I would strongly recommend that you buy a different product.
First, it doesn't scan small pictures very well. It crops off part of the picture each time you try to scan it. I tried repositioning the picture and rescanning multiple times, but it never gives me the whole picture.
The second reason is that none of the features work if the printer is out of ink. You can't scan, email, or fax, which has nothing to do with the ink. It seems that Brother has found a way to take more money out of your pocket for no other reason than to make more profit.
