I was hesitant to buy this printer because the price was so low, but it has exceeded my expectations. This printer does it all.


I ended up buying this Brothers printer because of the features and pricing. The setup was easy and the WiFi printing worked super without any effort. My husband was so thankful for FINALLY getting a printer that he had no issues using. Printing is quick for us! Very happy family! I highly recommend.


This printer was super easy to set up and get going, quiet printer with a good quality. I don’t use the fax set up, but the scanner, copier and printer have been good quality and easy. Great product for the price. Ink cartridges are reasonably priced as well.


The printer is very nice. The new Control Center app is a great improvement over previous years. Wireless setup from the panel is easily done. Brothers just work out of the box and have good reliability.


This Brother machine has been excellent just as I expected. My last Brother printer lasted more than 10 years and was only replaced because I wanted to experience what Brother had new!

    Can I use this off my hotspot from my cell phone, I don’t have WIFI ?

    • Alycia Carlson (Burgess)

      I’m pretty sure you have to have a wireless connection to connect the printer to… But I’m not an expert

  2. todd

    I wanna get this but how do I get the free Google thing?

    • Liza (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi there Todd – if you look under the price there’s an “Ink & Toner” add-on option. Right below that is “Choose Your Gift – Free Google Home Mini” and you can select which color you’d like. Hope that helps!

        Thanks Liz, I still dont see what ya mean. I just be blind. But I ordered it anyway. I called the store and they didnt add the free gift, so they told me buy the Google Home Mini online and when I pick the printer up, they would refund me the $50 for the Home Mini and let me take it.

        Thanks anyway

        • Liza (Hip Sidekick)

          Glad the store was able to help you out so you could snag the deal! 🙂

    What’s a Google Home Mini?

  4. Maria

    How do you get the Google mini?

    • Liza (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi Maria! Under the product price, and under the ink options section, there’s an area to select your free gift. You’ll be able to choose your free Google Home Mini color there and add to cart. Hope that helps!

    Does anyone know how much ink costs for this printer

    • Samfs2016

      around $20 for tri ink and around $14 for black.
      I had the same printer but once I purchased refills,the printer worked for only once and then ink leaked inside it and then printer started error messages which wants me to replace ink cartridges again.So I replaced the printer instead of replacing ink.
      WHAT I LEARNED IS ALWAYS BUY A NEW PRINTER INSTEAD OF INK ITS ALMOST SAME PRICE FOR A NEW PRINTER OR INK WHEN ITS ON SALE..

        Thank you so much !

    Just ordered….I saw no option for google mini, but the printer page on officedepot.com said “free gift” in the corner, so let’s hope it’s a free Google Mini. Dont know what the h*ll a Google Mini is but it’s free whatever it is.

  7. Coupon Katie

    Weird.. I’m only seeing options for store pick up?

    • Liza (Hip Sidekick)

      I’m seeing that now too! I just updated the post with that info, thanks!

  8. Lindsey

    How is air print on this model

  9. Dice

    Is this printer good for photo prints?

  10. Jen

    Thanks for posting this! We are in need of this type of printer and looks to be a good purchase.
    I also did not see the gift choice under the price, but went to the home page on officedepot.com, selected the advertisement and was able to enter coupon code (34205077) after putting both products in my cart. Worked perfectly. I was in need of a housewarming gift and the google mini will be perfect.

    Thanks again Hip2Save! I appreciate you making my shopping experience enjoyable with the deals I have snagged over the years!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You are SO very welcome, Jen! Super glad you have been able to grab such great savings! Thanks a bunch for the kind words and for being a valued reader! 🥰

    THANKS!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      You’re welcome, Sol!

  12. Barbara L. Stewart

    I ordered it this morning, but have since been told the order has been cancelled because they’re out of stock.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Oh bummer! Sorry to hear that!

  13. Jaime

    I ordered on Friday night and was able to select the google mini. Picked it up today and they said I hadn’t entered a coupon code so I couldn’t get the google mini for free. It’s a bummer. But I’m happy I got the printer for such a good price.

  14. Xaviel

    I was able to snag this deal. Good thing because my current HP printer has been giving me issues with wireless printing. I just went to the store picked up the printer and the Google mini and took it to the cashier. When they scanned both items it was not giving me the Google mini for free. But I showed the cashier and manager the coupon and deal from the office depot site and they honored it. Paid $49.26 after tax for both. Woo hoo.
