problematic for wireless use
I have a home network. In the past I have had HP Printer/Scanner/Fax machines and I wanted better printing costs. I researched every product available and took a long time deciding. I read every opinion. I bought the Brother HL-4570CDW. I was very impressed with the design and was very excited to get started. I have a home wireless network, three laptops, one netbook, and an iPad. I have spent many days and each and every week getting the printer to work with the network. It came with a driver disk. The printer will recognize one computer and all the others will be offline. Then after doing the troubleshooting, it still doesn't work, although it may then recognize a different computer and the others will be offline. I have uninstalled all the drivers and removed brother from all the associated files with Revo Uninstaller. Then reinstalled just to have the same problem. I cannot add up the hours I have spent, not to mention the things I have needed to print but could not. Right now, two computers are able to print, but I still have to utilize the computer troubleshooter plus the Brother troubleshooter that comes with the installation and very often it cannot either Find or Fix or Identify the problem. My computer is brand new, just waiting for this printer. The Brother receives the wireless input much more slowly than the HP's and then takes a lot longer to finally get the page printed. That happens every time. If I print more than 1 page, the rest print right after the first page, but if I print another document it takes a while, so documents get backed up but finally they all do print. I don't do anything hi-tech, just MS Word, Excel, Adobe PDF, and items off the internet; haven't had the patience to try a picture. End result is that this costs twice as much as I have been paying, prints at half the speed, is touchy about going offline, and requires hours of my attention. I believe it is not as progressive with wireless printing and that it probably works much better connected. I would probably buy the Canon if I had it to do again.

Excellent Laser Printer
This is the best Color Laser printer. Was very easy to set up. Fitted all my needs. My one computer needed a wired connection and also could set up my laptop for wireless. Printing is crisp and colors are great.

Awesome Priner
This printer was very easy to set up out of the box. My main computer doesn't have Wi-Fi so being able to connect it by USB as well as wireless was a big plus. It was easy to set up with my wireless modem for my laptop. I had an HP laser printer before and I thing the quality of the Brother printer is much better.

Duplex Is the Best
I am loving the duplex printing feature. It even handles 80 lb. cover stock. I like the speed, quality, and quietness also. I am still on the original toner cartridges (standard capacity) so I am pleased with that feature also.
