Does a few things well: Gives the cat the willies. Holds down paper in a windstorm. Elevates my blood pressure.
Relatively simple paper path doesn’t jam often but when it does, is deadly to the delicate little switches, stops other plastic parts that are critical to proper function. Mine lasted a little over a year before I retired it and bought an HP.

This is my first Brother printer and I am highly impressed. We’re actually going to replace an Epson Artisan WiFi printer that we love, due to the additional features this printer offers.
Set-up of the printer was a breeze. The ink cartridge system is the best I’ve seen. All of the ink is stored right at the front, right-hand size of the printer. You don’t have to go fumbling around to the inside of the printer to install them, which is great. The ink has separate cartridges for each color (cyan, yellow, magenta and black). This is similar to our Canon (which has 1 additional large black cartridge) and Epson printers (though the Epson also has 3 additional cartridges – a “light” version of each color). I like that the Brother MFC-6890cdw only takes 4 cartridges instead of 5 or 7. I feel like I’m always replacing ink on those other printers. (i.e. Light Cyan is low!!)
Our computers picked up the WiFi right away and we are able to wirelessly print from both my MacBook Pro laptop and my husband’s Dell desktop, which is on a different level of the house.
This printer serves a copier and scanner, but also a Fax machine, which is great. The footprint of the printer is much larger than our Epson Artisan, and a little larger than the Canon All-in-One. However, this printer has more features than the Epson or the Canon, which helps justify the additional size.
For one, the printer can print 11 x 17 size paper. This is unusual for home printers and gives it a more useful, business aspect. But also, you can print large photo murals and find other creative uses for this large paper.
The printer has a large 4″ touchscreen and easy operation for copying and scanning. The ink does not “oversaturate” the paper and make it soggy, as we’ve seen on other printers we have owned. It holds probably 300-350 sheets of paper, which is a definite bonus.
If you have the space for a large printer in your home or home office, you won’t be disappointed with the features and performance of this printer.

I was very unhappy with my Brother Printers. I bought 2 exact same printers. Both had the same broken mechanism that allowed printing with the black ink cartridge.
I got a brand new one directly from the Brother company for one, but could not for the other one–too long after the purchase date. I was very disappointed!

Ive had many HP printers and Lexmark. This is my first Brother printer and I got to say its the best home printer Ive ever had. And Im a network engineer / IT geek. Id like to point out that the ability to print in larger print sizes, above 8 1/2 x 14 is a good feature when printing and when scanning large DOCs (diplomas/certificates) on glass. Large printer not for everyone, but I specifically bought it for the large glass to scann large stuff (and print larger stuff, ie. marketing material). Print/scan quality is great, software is really easy to use, feader doesnt get stuck like otHer Printers Ive had. Lots of plug in storage device options, the touch screen is nice, etc. If you can deal with the bigger design, its a great printer and worth the price.

Since I’ve owned a MFC-4450 for 10 years,experiencing minor maintenance issues,I decided to stay with a company that obviously produces a durable,long term piece of office machinery. The reason for an upgrade was beyond my control. My new computer,with Windows Vista, is not supporting the old MFC-4450.I’m still using the old printer with my other Win 2000 operating systems.
I use the internal WiFi feature exclusively from all computers(no additional external router required,two walls between points).Data transmission speed is more than acceptable.I haven’t tried the photo print feature.Really didn’t buy it for that purpose.
