5 of 5 Good Value Printer Sunday, November 01, 2009
Barry from Orlando, Florida  

I build computers and repair printers as a hobby. I already own a Brothers MFC5440CN and it has always been reliable and reasonably cheap to operate. When I evaluate whether to buy a certain printer I 'always' check the ink cartridge prices first (FYI, Lexmark is infamous for selling you a printer cheap then nailing you on the cost of the replacement ink cartridges). So when I saw this printer for less than $60 there was no question as to whether I should purchase it. Good value, cheap ink, reliable product. BTW, www.printpal.com is a great website to purchase ink. You can't go wrong!!

4 of 5 Good Printer. Can take generic cartridges. Wednesday, May 13, 2009
A Customer from Coply, Ohio  
I like the printer. It is a good value for the money. The best thing about this printer is that it can take generic ink cartridges.

5 of 5 A great multi-function printer for anyone on a bud Monday, April 27, 2009
Susan Wells from Cincinnati, OH  
I LOVE this printer! It was extemely easy to set-up. The quality of both the black only printing and color printing is exceptional. One cool feature: This printer will continue to print in black only mode, even if one of the color cartridges run out of ink. Plus, it didn't break this consumer's piggy bank!
