endurance's Full Review: Brother MFC-8660DN All-In-One Laser Printer
This printer has network options which came in very handy, and were one of the reasons I got the printer - my old Laerjet 1000, was not compatible with OSX and going to XP just to print was becoming a pain.
While I saw other lower priced multi-function devices, and others in the Brother line with similar functions they had very MIXED reviews - some major perks were not only network printing, but network scanning/faxing as well.
Print quality is on par with my LaserJet 1000 laser, and quick, even coming out of sleep mode it is about 5 seconds to full boot-up and print of the first page.
Scan quality is not GREAT, but it works, I have seen higher quality with stand-alone units, but it it is tweakable from the configuration tool, even then not CRISP, but it's good for what I'd consider a "Draft" quality scan, good for faxing/copies or casual scanning.
Duplex copy is nice too, just load up the ADF, setup your duplex method and it'll do two sided copies! So nice, good support for all major operating systems, currently working on Mac (10.4.x), Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux (Ubuntu 7.04).
The biggest perk for most folks is you don't have to have a computer on to Copy/Fax - or for the workgroup/home-network, you don't need a computer to "share" the printer, just plug in a network cable to your router/switch and it is instantly shared.
For the price, maybe not perfect for the average home user - for small home business, does wonders.
