Summary: Good Printer-Minor install issues
Comment: This printer works great with my Intel IMac & Airport Extreme. Had trouble with initial install (Install software could not find network & falsely suggested firewall needed to be disabled). Brother help desk was Fantastic!! Knowledgeable & pleasant. With their help got this running perfectly.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great little printer.
Comment: A great little printer. Much faster than an inkjet. Paper tray holds a decent amount of paper, so you don't have to reload too often. Had a difficult time with the wireless interface, though. Seems to be a common problem. Glad I am married to a systems engineer.

Summary: Great Wireless Printer - Fantastic Tech Support (Mac User)
Comment: I couldn't get it to work either with my Airport Express Network.
I followed the instructions in the manual but my iMac (running Leopard) couldn't "see" the printer on my Airport Express Network.
Emails to tech support initially went unanswered.
I finally called tech support (thinking it would be a waste of time) but they were incredibly helpful --- I was only on hold for a few moments!
We got disconnected but the Brother tech support guy called me back ---- twice!
Here's where I went wrong:
1) I didn't download the Leopard drivers from the Brother Website.
2) I entered the wrong info about my Airport Express (write down your wireless network settings before you start the installation).
3) I didn't click the Airport icon on the menu and select "Setup" from the drop down menu.
4) I didn't "add" the wireless printer after the installation was complete.
Now it works perfectly and the USB cable has already been sold on eBay.
The print jobs have been excellent --- very clear and crisp.
The printer itself is compact with no extending paper trays.
I'm very impressed with this printer and with Brother tech support. Highly recommend this wireless printer.
PS
This computer can be "reset" if you need to start all over again (as described in the manual).

Summary: unbeatable price
Comment: the driver installer will crash with my firewall enabled, which took me a good 5 minutes to figure out. besides that, it was far easier to setup than imagined. put in the CD, configured the connection with ethernet, unplug the cable, ran test page. power down, moved printer, still prints fine. I was concerned that the settings wouldn't be retained after power-down, but that wasn't an issue :-)
also, another concern i had was that the room i placed it in, have mediocre-at-best wireless reception. my desktop with asus pci 802.11g card has unstable connection at times. the brother seems to be connected just fine. will run some long term tests later and see how stable the connection is.
for ~$100, you can't really ask for a better product.

Summary: Simple, fast and easy setup
Comment: This is probably one of the easiest printer setups I have ever done. After following the instructions on the included cd, the printer was wirelessly printing from our 5 computers in the house.
It prints very fast, the type/images are crisp and clear, and its totally silent when its in sleep mode. (Which I was worried about, but it turned out great.)
I would recommend this printer to anybody that wants an inexpensive laser for their home or small office. Its fantastic!
