More than $400!!??? Jul 30, 2010
When I saw the image on my screen, then the price, I looked at the exact model on my table that I've been using for about three years...for which I paid only a bit over $100 at BJ's warehouse store. I'd have guessed, the industrial revolution being what it is, these machines must be way out of date and relegated to the dust-bin by now. Indeed, on the same page of Amazon's website, below this model's area, a successor Brother, 9xx-something, is listed as such at about half the price they want for this one.
Any prospective buyer who does reasonable due diligence won't waste near half a grand on this offering...but I feel genuinely sad that a few folks might look, see, and purchase.
But let's not pillory Amazon, which has a long history of changing customers' lives for the better. This anomoly seems like nothing more than one of their rare bloopers. A stubbed toe is rarely fatal.
Oh, the machine? Mine gets light use, does its job properly, neither better nor worse than many others in this commoditized marketplace.
 Lasted less than 1 1/2 years Jun 08, 2010
While it lasted, it worked great except for a few frustrating features (nothing can be used if the ink is out: no phone, fax, copy, etc.; and you can not print in just black, the printer used all colors and you have to replace all colors). Now, with all inks full in the system, the black ink stopped working. Try printing a fax you get nothing, it thinks the ink is working and acts and sounds like it is printing but you get a blank paper. I can not print photos unless they are all green or red, the same with documents (however, I discovered that if I highlight my document in gray I can print it but now the color inks are being used up quickly (the black ink stays full). This fix does not work for printing faxes (I can fax out only), photos or copies).
While the machine worked everything worked great except for the ink replacement issue (having to replace all when only black documents were printed and I set the properties to gray-scale) and the machine freezing until all inks where replaced. Photos were just OK. The wireless feature was great which is why I bought this particular model. For $250 it should have lasted longer. I also resent the fact that Printer Companies are really in the ink business but pretend to be in the printer business. They should just give the printers away free just like Wireless Phone Companies do. Your monthly bill is your ink charge. This way I would not feel so ripped off (-$250).
Anyone need a printer for parts?

Biggest Waste of Money Ever May 05, 2010
We bought this printer because it had everything fax, phone, printer,copier and scanner. What a waste of money. This is a real con job. It comes with seperate ink cartridges but if one of them runs out that's it the printer is useless. You can't print, you can't fax, you can't even scan. What is this all about? You don't need ink to scan something so why is it that this feature doesn't work if you have no ink. We ran out of yellow, we had a full black cartridge along with the blue and magenta but the printer was useless until we bought a new yellow. I have always had a hp printer and was happy with it. This is just a rip off, it uses ink really quickly and it is expensive to replace. Better off with a seperate fax, have reinstalled my old HP at least this one is reliable.
Don't be fooled by all the fancy features of this printer. If you run out of any of the ink cartridges you have nothing.

What a freakin' joke Apr 19, 2010
Man I can't believe this. When the ink runs out, the machine practically bricks on you! If you run out of color ink, you still can't print with black ink! And, AND, why can't I send a fax or scan stuff when it's out of ink? You know what this machine is? It's a bait-and-switch: entice the customer with lots of ostensible features and flashy packaging, and then get them to buy more and more ink, needlessly.
Also, the software that comes with the machine is just horrible. It looks and feels as if it were programmed for Windows 3.1 in 1990 -- actually, I take that back because there's no need to insult Windows 3.1 in 1990 that way. I can't seem to adjust any of the colors or do any configuration at all. The options are extremely limited.
Oh and then there's the wifi. Or should I say, what wifi? I can't get it to work, my laptop won't recognize it, and basically one has no idea it's even there.
NEVER AGAIN. What a joke.
P.S. Prints like crap.
UPDATE MAY 27: I tried to send a 15-page fax but the auto-feeder wouldn't accept more than one or two pages. Instead it would suck up four or five pages at a time and jam all up. But, there's no one-page-at-a-time feature that I could discern for faxing. This meant that it would accept the cover sheet, and before I had time to put in another page, it would begin the faxing process. AAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

Perfect Combination! Feb 07, 2010
I had been looking to a printer that would include all of the features the Brother MFC-885CW had and once I found it on Amazon I very happy. I am very happy with the product, though, it has been mentioned that it does use more toner then usual, but I have not noticed it much.
