I've been using Brother printers for over 5 years, and like their reliability and ease of use.  My new MFC-8890DW is no exception.  It's a feature-laden printer that's faster and quieter than the one it replaced.  I especially appreciate the full-duplex printing.
<br/>
<br/>I give it one demerit, which probably doesn't deserve the subtraction of a full star.  After following the documented instructions, I couldn't get wireless printing to work when the printer was in sleep (power save) mode.  The included printer monitoring utility showed the printer as "offline", and sending a print job while the printer was in this state resulted in nothing but queued documents.
<br/>
<br/>After a web search, I found a FAQ / troubleshooting article about print problems with Windows Vista (I'm using XP), buried on Brother's Canadian site [...].  It provides instructions on how to configure the print driver to use Raw protocol. 
<br/>
<br/>Why that works, I have no idea, but I can now print reliably whether the printer is online or offline.
<br/>
<br/>This is a great machine, and I recommend it, despite this setup problem.
