MFC-J425W,
Printer works as advertised. With the wireless function, not only can you print wirelessly, but when you scan, it automatically detects your computer (if you have more than one, the LCD allows you to choose which one to send it to). Unpackaging and setup are quick and easy.
The CD contains all the software that you need. When you start the setup, be patient. Sometimes it will be installing something in the background but will give you no indications. I know that at one point I went three minutes when it seemed like nothing was going to happen, another install screen popped up.
When completing the “wireless setup” on the printer via USB, the software will try and use your network settings to find what network the printer should connect to. This makes it easy as you don’t have to enter your SSID and network key. If it needs you be on another network, it has the option to manually enter it. It also allows for you to set-up a static IP.
The printer allows you to setup how long until it “goes to sleep”. It will automatically wake-up when you send something to the printer.
Colors look good. After you install the print cartridge, it takes about 5 minutes of cleaning.
The printer is a bit noisy when it is printing, but I like that as I can tell from another room if the printer is actually printing without having to get up and look. When it is asleep it makes absolutely no noises.
All in all, the printer is nice and works very well. It fits perfectly on one of my tables. I will update my review as I continue to use the printer.

|Great product!,
Very happy with our purchase. User friendly setup, takes maybe 10-15 minutes but no problems. The wireless option allows you to print from your computer in one room to the printer in another room. Highly recommended.

|It’s a Biggie,
This is mainly in response to the review that said it took the printer a long time to reset between each page of a scan or copy. I just tried my new printer and it pumps out the copies as fast as it reads them in using the ADF – no delays. I know what he means – the printer is constantly chick chicking away between print jobs and I think the doc says it can do that in the middle of the night (so don’t unplug this machine) – all to keep up good print quality, which so far is GREAT. I’m selling my HPs and have this and a DCP-J125 from Brother – all in hopes of reliable printing with ability to use generic cartridges. I was pulling my hair out with HP in that dept and refuse to pay so much for HP cartridges, PERIOD. So this machine so far prints, copies and scans well and I got the fax to work inbound and outbound using our Ooma VOIP system (just have to do *99 before outgoing fax number). Haven’t tried wireless yet as we connect our other PCs via the house network which works great after you ‘share’ this printer. This is a huge printer though – wish it was smaller. I love that this does easier duplex than the DCP-J125, and this printer does booklet printing – all very valuable. Check out LC-75 cartridges at ldproducts.com.
Update: I originally installed this with USB cable to home desktop – that worked fine with the “home network”/shared printer setup. This past weekend I reinstalled to take advantage of wireless – for two reasons 1) don’t have to walk up or downstairs to turn the PC it was connected to “on”, 2) use the Iphone app. I just reinstalled and followed the instructions (infrastructure setup I believe) and it connected fine wirelessly to my desktop – could fax and scan as well. It appears you have to install the whole (big) MFL Suite on each laptop. I did that on my Vista laptop and got 2 “specified port does not exist” errors – tried adding some ports per the instructions but got that error three times. I could see the printer in “Network” and right click and get its IP address. There is, in All Pgms / Brother / MFCJ425W folder an uninstall pgm that I used each time – also installing it again seems to do some uninstalling to begin with. Couldn’t get around that error and couldn’t choose the wireless printer when I went to print. Call Brother – they sent me the “solution” which is basically “good luck”. Googled network printer problem and found some info – followed that to “add printer” / Wireless or Network / Don’t See Printer I Want and then used the IP address to add the printer. That went fine and all of a sudden there it was and could be used… Then I went to daughter #1′s Win 7 machine – that installed no problems and works. Then told daughter #2 about the Iphone app – she can work on that….
