I bought a replacement fuser unit for £40 and fixed it myself in about an hour.1. Sending a fragile, heavy item like this would have added probably another £60 or so and have lost the use of the printer for a week or more. I contacted Brother directly who disclaimed any responsibility as it was a month or so out of the year's guarantee (my own fault - the problem started within few weeks from new but not too badly and I somehow never quite got round to reporting it).īrother's suggestion was to send it to one of their dealers, for a fixed-priced £140 repair. Have you ever tried to find out how to return a faulty item to Amazon? I have and couldn't do it. The fuser roller disintegrated and crumpled every piece of paper that went through it (see photos). My printer had the same fault reported earlier by Mick Steele.
However, it has a fault that seems to be either a design or manufacturing flaw. It's reasonably compact, reasonably fast and with reasonable scan and print quality. The printer itself is OK, it does everything it says it will do adequately well. I've not used the fax because it 2017 and why would you?īrother MFC-9330CDW A4 Multifunction Wireless LED All-In-One Colour Printer
I setup the scans to get dropped on to a windows share (CIFS) on my NAS, you can have a number of named configurations so you don't have to enter the network configuration over and over. The scan can be done to a number of outputs, USB, SMB/CIFS and so forth.
The scanning function I use a lot, most the utility bills get dropped in the hopper and then scanned, I then flip the pages and scan the other side and have a script to merge them back into a single PDF (I then shred the docs and compost them - but I digress). You don't seem to be able to have wifi and ethernet set up at the same time, not sure why. I use the printer wired to the network but did try it in wifi mode, both worked easily enough, the wifi can be setup manually or using WPS.
For the Mac just install the dmg, and on windows there's and exe installer, I can't even remember what the hitch was, perhaps the IP resolution. deb for the driver, CUPS was a piece of cake from there. I've managed to set them all up without too much of a hitch, Windows being the most fiddly but easily doable by a normal computer users.
We are a multi-faith household, having Linux, Mac and Windows laptops. Looking at the stats on the web interface we've printed off about 200 pages, mostly colour.
I bought this to replace an inkjet printer, I don't print too often by the rest of the family does and so far after a few months its doing really well.
