I bought this item through Amazon about 18 months ago. It worked fine, UNTIL the toner cartridge ran out. I bought a Brother toner replacement cartridge, which cost about $100. And guess what? The machine continues to give me toner cartrdige error messages, and I can't print a thing out. The Brother websites troubleshooting instructions are virtually useless, telling you that if their instructions don't work, buy another cartridge. Really? How many of us have a hundred here or there to sink into cartridges for this machine?
Very frustrating, and a very blase attitude regarding troubleshooting. I will look for a replacement from a company with a better commitment to quality and customer service.

My office gave me this to replace my HP laserjet 1300. I tried it out for a couple of days and reconnected the HP, and I now have it on a shelf gathering dust. It seems to go to sleep and has to wake up again. With long documents there seems to be a long delay after a few pages are printed whilst more pages go into memory. Whilst it may be OK for printing documents of a few pages, it's not up to my demands, and I prefer my dedicated scanner (Fujitsu Scansnap) and PC fax software anytime.

Finally, enough of the ink cartridges. The MFC 7220 is exactly what I have been looking for. It prints excellent laser quality copies. I could use this at work and not miss a beat. The included Paperport software allows editing of scanned documents. I have used the fax on a limited basis. Very pleased with the MFC-7220 and definately recommend it.

As with all printers, it would be a good idea to check the price of consumables before purchasing this printer. This printer (actually this print engine, as it is used in several other Brother models) has a lower cost than some other Brother units, but you will make it up over the life of the printer as you buy higher-priced toner and drum units. The toner and drum units for this printer cost more than those for other Brother models, and don't last as long. Consider your printing needs and spend more upfront if you will be printing a lot.
As long as you expect this going into the purchase of this printer, it is a great unit. It works as advertised, and Brother has very good drivers under Mac OS X. For the money upfront, you can't beat it. For the future cost of consumables, you may be able to find a better model for your needs.

The product itself is decent and prints well, but jams when you try to print envelopes. Or, if it doesn't jam, the envelopes come out looking crooked. I called tech support twice, and first they told me that they can't help me because it's not their problem that it's printing crooked, but a problem with the software...That, of course, wasn't true because I was using Word, which is good with envelopes. The next time I called they told me that the envelopes I am using are too thick, which is also total garbage because I was using the most standard #10 envelopes in the world! They were just totally unhelpful!
If you don't plan on printing envelopes, or calling tech support, it's a very nice machine.
