Do not under any circumstances buy a Brother printer. They rig the machine so that it will accept no generic toners. You use a brother toner or the machine won’t work. Amazing!

So far I have enjoyed it. Ive had it for almost a year and a half now. My only issue with it is that I wish it had faxing capabilities, can print photos and the cartridges (color) would last a little longer than the did. Other than that I would suggest it. Its a very quiet printer only here it when it prints out. I hope they come out with a model that has faxing capabilities. Ive always liked Brother products.

After I spent some minutes to get the unit installed and running, just to find the unit won’t do network print. It disconnects itself whenever it went into sleep mode. Submit a new job will not bring the machine out of sleep mode. I could not find any information in the manual that describe a solution.
Update on 6/23/08: I had the chance to talk to Brother Tech support and was able to resolve the problem after reinstalling drivers. The printer now respond to network printing. Since it is working, I would raise the rating to 3 stars, but I could not do it for some reason that Amazon does not allow change of rating. The printer prints well and and makes copies. The print quality is substantially improved compared with older models made by Brother, but not as good as you can find on other brands of color laser or even dry ink jet printers. It is also a slower printer after first page. For the low price I paid, I certainly would not expect beyond what the product delivers. It is a machine with good performance per cost ratio.

Excellent printer, finally I have just one affordable printer for all my scanning & printing needs (color duplex scan, copy and print).
I’ll highlight the few less than perfect features. Don’t get me wrong for the $ this is a great printer and I’m happy to be using it, but you are here for the nitty gritty dirt so I’ll dish it.
It is a bit slow on copy/scan and print operations, the paper tray only holds around 1/3 of a ream of paper, I can’t stuff 250 in there without paper jams. For a network mid-volume printer holding anything less than a ream is a joke. When printing more than 50 sheets at a time it’s common for a few pages to jump out of the receiving bin and need to be placed back in the printed document, I’d expect a printer of this type to hold at least 250 printed sheets without spewing them on the floor.
It’s sooooo close to perfect, just misses that mark on those few items.

For the price and the available features, I think Brother succeeded with the DCP-9045, and I would certainly recommend it. The print quality, speed, and ease of use are all superior. I have only discovered one shortcoming so far. Despite the owner’s manual’s claim to the contrary, envelopes don’t print well. They come out with several small crimps on the edges. I ended up keeping the old inkjet printer in our office to use as an envelope printer. Apart from that, it’s a great addition to our small office.
