1 out of 5 stars A great disappointment   November 5, 2009
Geoffrey Johnson (Lake Villa, IL United States)
This is a printer, scanner, faxer and copier. You don't need to have it attached to a PC for it to work. The menus are wonderful, and it's very easy to use, print, copy or fax! To top it off, this is a cheap product, but of course you get what you pay for.

Without realizing it, this is my second of three Brother all in one printers. I may sound like a satisfied customer with loyalty like mine to have three brother printers in three years, but that is because each one has broken within a year. My Brother MFC-3240C always had constant paper jams. Serious paper jams, it would take a normal sized piece of paper and crumple it up down to a centimeter in size. Then I'd have to open it and figure out a way to get the paper out.

Finally, the last straw was the permanent paper jam. A mysterious one. The printer tells me there is a paper jam, and I go nuts trying to find the jam. I went so far as to take it apart and put it back together only to discover there was no paper in it at all. Not a sliver of paper, nothing at all! It says there is a jam still.

I've looked online for support, because Brother technical support was no help at all. Forums have told me that paper jams are quite common with this model of Brother printer. I am greatly disappointed.


1 out of 5 stars Avoid at all costs!!   March 27, 2009

Like another reviewer stated, this thing becomes no more than a paperweight after the ink runs out. It does not print unless ALL cartridges are full, even if you are ok with black and white only!! I recently bought a new set of ink cartridges, and in less than a month the printer will not function since the yellow is empty. This is absurd. Brother should be issuing out refunds for this thing. I also own a 7 year old HP Deskjet, which, even with its age, is my only reliable printer in the house.

I used this model as a scanner. Mechanically, it was fine and delivered image quality consistent with resolution specs. There is no reason to believe that it would not have worked equally well as a fax machine.

But the driver used to force my OS to crash (XP Professional) and perform a defensive memory dump about once every week or 10 days. I understand that no one is perfect, and tried a couple of times to locate driver updates but there were none available. Unacceptable. If you buy this machine, throw the the driver disk out so it can't interact with your operating system. I really shouldn't have waited this long. Buy one used, at best, obviously.

I switched to an HP Officejet J4550 for feeder-scanner purposes, and have experienced no problems with the driver.

Do not buy this printer unless you really feel the need to waste money. If I could give it zero stars, I would. I have had this printer for less than a year. If any of the cartridges goes out it will not allow you to print at all. Tonight, I went out and bought replacement cartridges at the sum of $40. Came home and installed them. The printer will only tell me that there are no cartridges installed. Won't even let me use the cleaning utility. I recommend that you think twice before buying any Brother product.

Any money you save on the cheap price you will more than make up for paying for ink. I get 5+/- one to two page faxes a week and go through a black ink cartridge every 2 months and have to replace the color catridges every 3-4 months. The machine virtually disables itself if any ink cartridge runs low. You can't even use the scan functions. In addtion the machine forces you to change them when ther is ink clearly visible in the cartridges they are not empty.
