I'm looking for a comprehensive review for this printer, can anyone help me out? It isn't on cnet.com, I already checked. I decided I'm going to shell out some money for it but would like a bit more information on it. Personal Experiences, are good too.

It is a pretty good machine. It seems to print a liitle slower than I would like it to but has pretty good quality. I have not used the fax capabilities of this machine since I also have a separate fax machine hooked up. The scan and copy functions are nice but could be better in quality. The software that comes with the machine is adequate for most applications but I tend to use Pagis for my scanning. The machine has easy setup and works well in XP. I am kinda vague in my comments but I do not use the machine to its fullest capability to say much more. Unfortunately, although I do like this machine I will be retiring it soon to use a HP d145 that I bought a few months ago and keep this one for a backup.

This is the first MFC machine I own and I don't know how well this is compared to other MFC. This is basically a low-end scanner + low-end printer + low-end fax, and you are trading space + convienence vs. quality. If you need all these functions once in a while and all you are asking for is a legible quality, this one does a good job. But don't expect to use it as a photo scanner or printer, you will be disappointed.

Very easy to setup and use. You can do most tasks (scan, copy, print, fax, etc.) with a few button press. For under $100, I can't complain at all, and I like it so far.
