Really Handy Machine!

Brother MFC-9970CDW Wireless Color Multifunction Laser Printer
Brother MFC-9970CDW Wireless Color Multifunction Laser Printer

Pros: Does it all! Love the scan to email feature. Set this up wirelessly on my home network with minimum hassle. Print quality is fine, but won't try to do hi resolution photos.

Cons: Owned for almost 2 years. Only printed 4500 pages so far, as this is my backup machine. Having trouble with paper jams when printing duplex, and we are not using cheap paper. This machine is heavy - be sure you have two people to move or carry it. Spent 45 minutes waiting on hold for customer service to walk me through the troubleshooting that I have done numerous times without success. Now taking it for service...

Overall Review: If not for the paper jams we have been experiencing lately, I would give this printer 5 eggs.

Leaks Terribly

Rosewill RTCA-TN315C High Yield Cyan Toner Replaces Brother TN-315C TN315C TN-310C TN310C

Pros: Cheaper than OEM.

Cons: Had these for 8 months of use - started leaking terribly after 2 months of use. Repeated cleanings of the printer necessary and still leaking. I give up - am throwing these to the recycler with 80% toner remaining. Buy OEM.

Overall Review: No savings with these turkeys. Save your money and buy OEM. Installed all 3 colors in my MFC-9970CDW - the cyan and magenta leak horribly. Printer is not usable.

&%#@% PAPER JAMS!!!

Brother MFC-9970CDW Wireless Color Multifunction Laser Printer
Brother MFC-9970CDW Wireless Color Multifunction Laser Printer

Pros: When it works, it's really versatile. Set up easy with Windows 7 and wifi. Print quality is decent.

Cons: PAPER JAMS!!! Spent $100 to replace some rollers out of warranty because Newegg sent us an old stock machine - the service center could not cover this machine under warranty. Worked OK for 1 month, and jamming again. Wish Brother would stand behind their product...

Overall Review: First problem was the cheap Rosewill toner cartridges that leaked toner all over the place. Now continual paper jams that render this thing useless. Brother needs a longer warranty and should stand behind their product better.

Easy to use

Pros: Cheaper than OEM.

Cons: Had these for 8 months of use - started leaking terribly after 2 months of use. Repeated cleanings of the printer necessary and still leaking. I give up - am throwing these to the recycler with 80% toner remaining. BEWARE!

Overall Review: I installed all 3 colors in my MFC-9970CDW. Within 2 months, the magenta and cyan toners leaked all over, making the printer unusable. After printing 1600+ pages, there is still 80% left but I am getting rid of these and buying OEM.
