“Have you tried printing onto card stock? Does it jam? Is it networkable?”

Doubt it’s directly networkable, as the only spigot into it is USB. No parallel port. (And someone correct me if I am wrong) but I believe that (USB only) has an implication about designating said printer as one’s default printer. I was NOT able to do so, but I had a bunch of 1-page docs to print in a mild hurry and I couldn’t screw around with it or look around for a workaround. Hence, for each of those (20 or so) docs, I had to select the Brother printer each time as the printer of choice. PITA, but I suspect there is a workaround somewhere.

Have NOT tested it on anything but vanilla paper. Print quality is excellent, by the way, no issues at all.

I can’t give you the multi-year torture test results, I’ve only had it for 60 or so days, but I printed out a 58 page doc today and it just blasted it out, maybe 12 pgs a minute, no problem.

I’ve had zero problems with it so far of any kind.

This printer was indeed to replace an older Epson inkjet which, as someone posted, I didn’t use all that much, so yeah, the insides get glurky and sometimes the fairly expensive carts have very poor life. Then you get into those issues where you’ve used up the black ink and need to repl the cart, but they only sell them in pairs.

I’m just thrilled with this litle sucker, it was silly cheap and works great.

My problem Quicken does not print on it, you can only PDF print. Quicken says they are working on it.
