I have purchased the device as a replacement for my two year old HP Officejet. Unlike the Officejet the Brother exceptionally quiet and trouble-free. Via the display the required settings can be made quickly. Installation is straightforward. By contrast, it was quite expensive to remove from the computer, the comprehensive software from HP. I run the Brother ink the company Silver Trade for the price of one euro per cartridge. The device detects the cartridge and immediately delivers good prints. In my opinion, a thoroughly professional unit at an amazingly affordable price with low operating expenses.
