My law firm installed this in our workgroup printer and it's been a lifesaver. When we need to print a large mail merge we load it up and off it goes.
The Brother Printer MFC7460DN Monochrome Printer is a all-in-one ideal for small offices or home offices. It produces fast, high-quality monochrome laser printing and copying at up to 27ppm, as well as color scanning and faxing into one space saving design. It also offers automatic duplex for producing for two sided output and a builtin Ethernet interface for sharing with others on your network.The MFC7460DN provides flexible paper handling via an adjustable, 250-sheet capacity tray and a manual by pass slot for printing thicker media. A 35-page capacity automatic document feeder allows you to copy, scan or fax multi-page documents quickly and easily. Additionally, it offers a high yield 2,600 page replacement toner cartridge to help lower operating costs.

The printer is excellent, no doubts. Cost of drum and toner are much cheaper than other brand printers, my main reason for buying it. Also I had on older brother MFC before and always liked it. The only problem is, the brother scanner software is poor compared to my 5 year old Canon scanner software, i'm a little surprised about it. For example, when you do a scan preview, it automatically selects the scan area in the Canon, not here though, thats quite basic and a pain not having that feature. Also, there are much much fewer scan image adjustment options that Canon had.
Other than the scanner software pains, I like the printer however, scan quality is good, print quality is good. I have it hooked up to my network via an ethernet cable which has a wireless gateway. So this printer is available on the network wirelessly also. I don't know what the big deal is about a 'wireless ready' printer, all a printer needs to be is (ethernet) network capable, most of us have a wireless router and it will automatically become available to all PCs on the same network - wired or wireless.

Loved my MFC-7820N. This is even better.
PROs:
* Cost per page is very low (see Note 1)
* Printer cost is very low at times (see Pricing below)
* Duplex and Booklet functions save paper
* Browser interface - tons of settings, options, & reports
* Reliability is good
* Energy efficient when not in use (see Note 2)
OKs:
- Ease of use is pretty good. Print, Copy, Scan, Fax functions all work well.
- Toner-low shut-down hassle of previous models is now solved with a menu setting
- Warranty: 1 year
CONs:
- Noise: Fan noise for several minutes; chunk-a-clunk noise while printing. I've learned to ignore it.
- Does not support AirPrint (Apple's protocol for printing from iPhone, iPad)
- - - Alternatives - - -
- Wireless networking version (MFC-7860DW) if you're not hard wired. (average $20 more)
- Non-duplex version (MFC-7360N) (low tide around $100)
- - - Pricing - - -
Price is very bouncy. Low tide is around $138. Amazing deal. There's an "Online Price Alert" that will email you whenever this or any amazon product dips below your target price. Google it. It's nicely done. Or try camelcamelcamel.
- - - Tips - - -
- Toner refill powder such as TN-450 Toner Refill with Reset Flag Gear & Lever by AAAtoner or Laser Tek Toner Refill Kit 4 Pack for Brother TN-450 reduces cost even further.
- - - Notes - - -
Note 1: Cost per page (Toner + Drum) can be...
- 2.3 cents -- Brother toner and drum replacements at average amazon price
- 1.9 cents -- Brother toner and drum replacements at lowest price and extended usage; (3,000 copies per cartridge, 15,000 per drum -- reduced quality at tail end)
- 0.8 cents -- Use toner refill powder at lowest price and extended usage.
Brother Toner TN-450 is $42.50-47.00, 2600 pages. Brother DR-420 drum is $ 69-74, 12,000 pages. When replacing the gougy-priced drum, it's sometimes cheaper to buy an entire HL-2230 or HL-2240 printer on sale for $70 or less (includes DR-420 drum and a 700 page starter cartridge).
Toner refill powder: $8-12 (assume 3000 copies -- average 0.30 cents per copy). Starter cartridge requires Flag Gear Kit, about $3-6 (one time).
Printer comes with drum and 700 page starter toner. Subtracting the value of these, the hardware itself costs about $57 ($138-69-12)
Save more ink (and paper) by shrink-printing (2 to1) when appropriate.
.
Note 2: Standby energy: My old Brother MFC-7820N pulled 7.3 watts on standby. That's $35 to $105 over 5-years (24x365x5 @ 11 to 33 cents per kilowatt hour). This MFC-7460DN draws 1.2 watts on standby ($6 to $18 over 5 years). This printer also has a hard-off switch, which some other printers don't have.

I use all functions, and they are more than I expected for the price. The functions on this machine are comparable to the much more expensive HP 3390 All-in that it replaced because the HP fax and scan drivers worked poorly or not all when I upgraded to Windows 7 (I loved that all in one with my XP). I have not tried to use the Brother as a wireless through my network router, but based on other functions I suspect it will work well once I get through the instructions.
BEST/WORST FEATURE: So far this machine has the best multipage document feeder I have used. I copy multiple invoices that are crumpled and variable paper types at one time and this feeder seems able to adjust! However, the small space for copy/print output - After about 5 pages, there is no room and the output starts to fall to the floor, sort of diminishes my ranking of the overall copy function.
Pros: Price.
The Brother MFC7460DN works well with windows 7.
Scanner is clear, scans great color to PC (print is laser monochrome), uses that awesome doc feeder as well as the flatbed and has lots of options. Scanned PDF files seem to have large file size, so you might see if the machine has an option for resolution before you buy,(I have not had time to figure that out, but I think it might). It scans to PC as image, file (tif, jpg, & pdf), e-mail, or OCR, from machine menu or PC menu.
The FAX works with my single phone line that is shared with voice and answering machine, as well as PC and it was easy to set up and use. The PC fax function is efficient, and can be used for basics with ease. I am having a little trouble setting up my phone book and I will need to read instructions to find out how.
Copier is good quality and feeder is the best I have used. The flat bed and ability to use legal size paper is a feature that many machines no longer provide.
Cons: Cumbersome and unintuitive menus. Took me a while to figure out how to scan to a file instead of an image. The machine is surprisingly loud when running, but silent when in sleep mode. I had some early problems with losing power, but I think the power cord just needs to be very securly set in the back of the machine, so far that fixed my power problem. The biggest disappointment is the space available for output copies or printed pages.
If you frequently print or copy more than 20 pages at a time, you might want to look at a less compact machine. So far I am dealing with the issue, because the document feeder has wowed me. Overall, it seems like a great personal multi-function machine and the price (I paid about $200)for the numerous features makes this printer quite a deal.

My OKI Microline 1120 is compatible with my new Windows 7, it's much more compact than my last dot matrix, much quieter and it was not only easy to set up but it's so easy to use. My last dot matrix was challenging to line up my pre-printed forms and have the address line up with the window envelopes. But now, with the "Tear" and "Load/ Eject" buttons, I can be confident whether only printing a single invoice or printing multiple invoices. My invoices now tear exactly on the perforation without wasting unaligned forms. After tearing off my printed forms, I can easily re-load my forms for either another single invoice or 40 invoices! I love it! I wish I hadn't struggled so long with my old dot matrix printer, wasting so much time and paper. Had I known it could be this easy to work, I would have bought an OKI sooner. I actually enjoy my work more, now that I don't have to work against my printer!

Makes a noise like gear stripping when it starts to print. Can not seem to make it print properly when I need to print a web page, but prints word perfectly. Wold be nice if there was a way for it to have a paper hopper, instead of individually inserting each sheet. But I knew that was the case @ purchase.

At the end of every year, I print labels for around 75 DVDs and have tried a few solutions over the year. Sticky labels were quick to print, but took forever to peel off, and stick on (even with a stomper), and would often jam in the users disc drive (especially on laptops). A couple years ago I got an Epson R series inkjet and things started off great. It print straight onto the disc, it was quicker than sticky labels, and the output looked much better. But my relationship with my Epson soon turned into immense, seething hatred. The tray that's required for printing is cumbersome to use and doesn't store easily, it often says it's not aligned when it is aligned, or sometimes the Epson will take the disc in, spit it back out, and refuse to continue doing anything until you turn it off, turn it back on, and wait a few minutes for it to recharge its ink. I spent more time dealing with tray alignment/feeding issues and hearing the Epson constantly get ready to print (yet actually do so) rather than seeing it actually do what I asked it to do: print a disc!
When I saw the demo online for the Discpainter though, it seemed all my answers had been answered. In short, it does everything extremely well that the Epson did poorly and does an acceptable job at what the Espon did best.
What It Gets Right over an Epson R Series:
* Small footprint, with no accessories or trays to keep track of
* Very quite operation
* Fast print speeds (Epson prints faster once it gets going, but when you add it up, it's slower)
* Ink dries quickly (no more 24 hour long drying times!)
* Doesn't randomly flip out and refuse to work because you looked at it the wrong way
What It Doesn't Get Right over an Epson R Series:
* Image quality. The Discpainter is 1200dpi, which is plenty of resolution, however it's only a 4 color system whereas an Epson R series, even at the $90 price mark, is a 6 color system. With those 2 less colors, the Discpainter has to dither the image more often than the Epson will ever have to. When the Discpainter doesn't have to dither, it looks great, just as good as the Epson, but when it does, the image quality looks like a 4 color inkjet from over 5 years ago.
I just finished printing 50 discs back to back on this thing without it ever having to stop, whereas on the Epson I had, something would go wrong every 3 discs requiring a restarting of the print job, or worse, restarting the printer.
Overall, I'm very positive on the Discpainter. As someone that prints a large number of disc labels a year, but not enough to warrant professional production, this is a great product because of the speed, size, quietness, and ease of use. However, it's inexcusable that something this expensive isn't using 6 colors which just about ever printer has had now for several years.

I am a professional photographer that produces a number of discs each week. I purchased the Discpainter when drivers became available for OS 10.5 on the Mac & I have a Dymo Labelwriter 330 Turbo that has proven very useful. I was hoping to replace my Epson R800 and R1800 which printed nicely when working but were not very reliable. I've tried Lightscribe discs, and while very pleased with the albeit monochrome results, was very unhappy with the time required for those results (upwards of 25 minutes per disc).
The software included with the Discpainter is satisfactory, but in my opinion is inferior to SmileOnMyMac's Disclabel. Setup is easy, the printer's physical footprint is very small, and print times are outstanding even at highest quality. That last part is where this printer has failed me badly. I tried both matte and glossy white Verbatim printable discs at a number of different settings and at no time did the print quality come close to what the Epsons are capable of. Mine already has clogged jets as it is printing blank circular lines through photos on discs, even after using the printer utility's cleaning option. I gave this printer 2 stars for it's size, ease of use, and print speed. The quality is probably fine for the average home user, but for the price I would strongly recommend looking at some of the far cheaper inkjet printers that have this capability. To anyone wanting to use it in a professional capacity, I would say look at a sample first, but I think the print quality alone will make them steer clear of the Discpainter. Sorry Dymo, I love my Labelwriter, but not the Discpainter.

I just used the Discpainter to print a few hundred CDs for a wedding. I had left the world of CD art in 2003 because I thought "stickies" (CD labels) were a bad compromise (too much effort, error and poor quality). But I think now I'm back thanks to this little doohickey. My two cents:
Usage: Painted 300 CDs for my own wedding last month over a period of 2 weeks. I'm not a "creative professional" - just a professional who likes to pretend to be creative from time to time.
Startup: Simple, intuitive and fast. I was painting in minutes. (though it took days for me to decide what art to use)
Software: Easy to use interface - I'd be confident that even my parents (who still have trouble with email attachments) could paint with this device
Print quality/ Durability: Outstanding. So good, in fact, that we changed our design to use the CD envelopes with the clear window so we could show off the art. We received lots of positive feedback. No damage or fading observed yet.
Price: Worth the investment. The value I received far outweighed the total cost (device, consumables, errors and time). It's not cheap, not expensive. Device price was fine for me as I used it fairly heavily and Discpainter's consumables are about on par with other inks and toners. Can't say it was free, but all in all a good buy, at least for me.
